Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

PRI Teacher

With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable.

PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.

Gluten Free Sour Dough Bread

Project: Permaculture Research Institute Maungaraeeda, Sunshine Coast

A recipe for making gluten free sour dough bread. Are you unable to handle conventional GF bread mixes? Can't deal with yeast? Would like a simple recipe for GF bread, which doesn't take long to make and still hits the spot? Here it is!

A fresh Gluten Free loaf

Although we try to steer away from eating  grains because they are hard to grow in sufficient quantities yourself without resorting to monoculture, we do enjoy having some bread. Unfortunately, with grain allergies and gluten sensitivities in the family, we cannot consume wheat, oats, spelt and other glutenous grains. So we make our own gluten free sour dough.

We purchase our grains through Demeter as part of a community effort. They arrive in bulk bags which minimises packaging and are guaranteed organic or bio dynamic. I store the flour and grains in large food grade buckets with lids to keep them safe from vermin. We used to grind wheat, spelt or rye to make our own breads, however now we are gluten free it is easier to work with already ground flours.

I bake my gluten free loaf with quinoa, rice and buckwheat flour and add some sprouted buckwheat kernels. But first, lets prepare the starter culture.

Before we start, please ensure you only use non-metallic implements, bowls, mixing spoons and bread “tins”. Metallic ones may interfere with the culture.

I put 1 cup of rice flour and 2 cups of warm water in a jar and add about 1 – 2 Tbs freshly squeezed lemon juice. I seal the jar and leave it stand in a warm place for around 3 days.

When I open the lid I can smell a healthy ferment smell, if it stinks, please do not use it! I put 1 cup of rice flour and 1 cup of quinoa flour in another jar and add 1 cup of warm water. Then I add 1/2 cup of starter culture. I put the original starter culture in the fridge for later use. Then I let the rice/quinoa/starter culture mix stand in a sealed jar in a warm place for another few days, until bubbles have formed in the mix. Again, if it smells bad when you open the jar, do not use it, it should just have a pleasant ferment smell. This is the starter.

Starting the bread mix

Now you can start making bread. I soak 1 cup of buckwheat kernels for 1/2 – 1 day and let them sprout (rinse regularly) in a colander or sieve for 1 or 2 days. Then I add them to 1 cup of rice flour, 1 cup of quinoa flour and 1 cup of buckwheat flour. Add 1/4 cup of the starter and mix 1 1/2 tsp of celtic sea salt (or to taste) with warm water. I mix the dough, adding more water if it is too dry. The dough should be thick, but not dry, it is a different consistency than conventional bread.

Once mixed, put the dough into a greased bread tin and cover with a plastic bag.

The GF sour dough bread mix in our bread “tin”

The bread rising on the shelf above our wood stove in winter. In summer any warm spot will do.

Put in a warm place and leave it for around 12 hours to rise. I leave our bread to rise on a shelf above the wood stove, nice and warm there…

Bake the loaf at around 180 degrees C (around 350 degrees F) and check after 1/2 hour. The crust should be firm when touched and brown, if not leave it in the oven for a bit longer. Pull out of the oven and leave it to cool in the tin. When cooled enough, gently work around the edges with an egg flipper and ensure the bottom is loose before you tip the tin upside down onto a plate or cooling rack. Let cool until you can’t handle it any more and you just have to have some!
