  • If it were ground I’d try sandwiches with slices of bell pepper added after making some barley bread with molasses and honey:

    3 cups flour
    1 cups water
    1 or 2 tsp salt
    1.5 tsp active or instant yeast (from a brown glass jar works best)
    1 Tbsp Honey
    1 Tbsp Molasses
    Add ground barley to taste preference, adjust water

    Rise for 2 to 3 hours, knead at least once in the middle and again before shaping on a pan with parchment paper and a thin layer of oil that you can roll your final shaped bread for a thin coating; for the final half hour of the rise
    Bake 405F for 30 to 40 minutes, place wet cloth overtop for 15 minutes after removing from oven

    but it’s not ground. TF does somebody make with whole barley? Gonna have to search for medieval peasant recipes.
