Nutritious Assortment! Quick Bread (Scone) Recipe

(1) Cain's ancestor Pan

Genesis.

The first son born after man knew Eve was Cain, and the second son was Abel. Cain became the ancestor of farmers, and Abel became the ancestor of nomads.

Wheat is the grain of the Middle East, and Cain, an agriculturalist, must have thought about how to cultivate it and how to make it delicious to eat.

Peeling off the prickly husk reveals the brown kernel with the skin and germ still attached.

Cain, who lived 10,000 years ago after the end of the Ice Age, would have first crushed the whole grains in a primitive way to make "pressed barley."

It was still too hard to eat, so I had an idea: maybe soaking it in water... no, hot water would soften it.

When boiled, it becomes oatmeal-like and easier to eat.

I saw people leaving food uneaten and it drying out, and babies playing with it by sloshing their hands.

"Hmm? If you mix wheat flour with water and knead it, it will become a soft dough. Then, when he tried to heat it up, Cain's eyes lit up again.

It must have been an open flame at first.

Bread will not rise in the way modern people imagine it unless it is made with flour that has a high gluten level, mixed with yeast, and left to ferment .

Cain's cultivated wheat is a slightly improved version of the wild variety.

At a time when the concept of "fermentation" did not exist, perhaps the original bread was something like a baked cookie ?

The crunchy texture of the wheat made Cain realize its great potential.

Hmm, it'll burn if I put it over an open flame.

So, let's stack some baked clay bricks and do this and that... and call this a "stovetop"!

God gave Cain curiosity.

A sparkling-eyed boyish man who is full of ingenuity and obsessed with how to eat things properly ♡.

Ah Cain.

I think I can become friends with you across time and space.

If only he hadn't done that to his younger brother Abel lol


(2) Scottish

Scones are generally made by mixing wheat dough with baking powder (baking soda) and baking it without fermentation.

As the name suggests, it's a "quick bread" and feels like a failed attempt at making solid bread.

There must be many fans who prefer its firm, dense texture to bread .

I thought the original bread might have been a scone, but baking soda ( sodium bicarbonate) didn't exist 10,000 years ago.

It is said to have originated in Scotland in the 16th century, so its history is much newer than that of bread.

Since leavening agent is used, the dough does not need the leavening and stickiness of wheat gluten.

So the biggest feature of this product is that it doesn't have to be wheat; anything that can be turned into flour can be used to make scone dough , such as rice, barley (glutinous barley), rye, oats, soybeans, sesame...


(3) Brown rice scones

Scotland must have been cold and the soil was barren, making it impossible to grow wheat.

So, how can we enjoy eating grains other than wheat?

I suspect that this idea was developed by a young man with bright eyes nicknamed "Cain of Scotland" lol

You can bake with any flour, so you can make the familiar Starbucks bread from brown rice, soybeans, glutinous barley, and more. The ingredients are available at Inazou Rice Store .

As the discussion goes, we recommend polished rice with germ, brown rice, and whole wheat flour , rather than white wheat, which has no nutritional value other than starch .

Bread requires fermentation, which takes a total of 3-4 hours to make, while scones are quick breads that only require kneading and baking in less than 30 minutes.

You can make a chewy and satisfying dinner in less time than cooking rice. So, moms, when you're in a hurry or don't want to bother, just use this.

It's made from rice, so it's filling, and because it's baked, it keeps well.

What you need
① Equipment
1. Mixer
2. A large bowl
3. A spatula and spoon for mixing
4. Oven
5. Kitchen paper

②Raw materials
6. 150g of brown rice (or soy flour, glutinous barley flour, or whatever you want to mix it with)
7. 30g of sugars such as cane sugar or oligosaccharides (optional)
8. 1 pinch of sea salt
9. 20cc of olive or flaxseed oil
10. 70cc of soy milk, cow's milk, almond milk, oat milk, etc.
11. A few chocolate chips, almond chips, walnuts, or other ingredients you want to mix in
12. 8g baking soda (baking powder)

How to make it
〇Making the dough
1. Brown rice that has been soaked in water overnight is easier to grind.
2. Put brown rice into a blender (or into a bowl if using powder).
*You can also mix soy flour and other ingredients into one cup of rice.
3. 70cc of almond milk or similar
4. Add the sauce little by little and mix.
5. 30g of sugar (none or reduced)
6. 20cc of oil or melted butter (it will be dry if you don't add it)
7. 8g baking soda
8. 1 pinch of salt
10. As you simmer it, it will gradually become more like dough.
11. Finally, add chocolate chips and mix a little.

〇Finishing
12. Line the oven tray with kitchen paper.
13. Roll out the dough onto a tray to a thickness of 2-3cm.
14. Make cuts in the dough to make it easier to remove when cooked.
15. Set to 220℃ for 20 minutes

In addition, during the dough making stage...

Yogurt, banana, tofu, cinnamon, flaxseed flour, dried garlic , soy flour, oat flour, rye flour, whole wheat flour, hijiki seaweed, tuna, bonito flakes...

Mix well so that the batter doesn't become watery.

Seriously, just mix anything and bake it. Just like the Senzu Beans from Dragon Ball or the Ninja's ration pills, this is a complete nutritional meal lol

All that's left is to do your best and wait for the good fortune to come your way. This all takes less than 10 minutes. It's so easy that even Nanami (8 years old) can do it!

Mmm, the dough is baking, it smells delicious.

Done!

Wow, no matter how you look at it, these scones have a rich texture. Are they really made from brown rice? They're just like wheat scones!

(If you don't want sugar, try honey, oligosaccharides, maple syrup, etc.)

This is because it is made with brown rice flour,

"Bread and sweets are made with wheat"

Just as Cain saw the potential for processing wheat, I saw the same potential in rice.

However, the smell of the crispy meat whetted my appetite, so I took a bite.

...

Hey hey mom.

Scones are originally from the UK, so they go really well with tea.

The best of both worlds: sweets and food.

Eating nutritious rice scones and drinking tea from a round pot and thin white cups is such an elegant luxury for adults ♡

...

Mixing the scone dough, baking it, and eating it.

I felt like I had a better understanding of how Cain felt 10,000 years ago when he tried to bake bread and ate it with his family.

The first bread ever made was created after much trial and error.

In January 2023, I relived the world of Genesis lol
