I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Cover grain with water and soak at room temperature 24 -48 hours in a covered container (plastic wrap is fine). Ensure water is always covering the grain, stir occaisionally and use before it ferments into alcohol!
Drain off soaking water and rinse grains.
Add soaked grains to TM bowl. Add buttermilk/yogurt, 300g water (see hints & tips), yeast, sugar. Blend 10-15 sec Speed 8. If the grains are a bit firm they will rise up the sides of the bowl - don't worry, move to the next step.
Add flour, salt and oil. Mix 10 sec Speed 5 (it's a heavy thick batter style mixture).
Move dial to
"Closed lid" and knead 4 minutes 
"Dough mode" Speed. Do not leave your TM unattended!Oil a deep bowl (a plastic one with a lid is ideal, lettuce crisper works well) and “pour” mix into bowl. Rest in a draught free position with lid on (or plastic wrap) for 4-6 hours to rise. It will easily double in size.
Lightly oil a patch on your bench about 40cm square and tip out the mix (a flat pastry bench scraper is very useful). Or, oil one hand and scrape out onto bench.
With your hands, push the "dough" out to a square approx 40cm square.
Make a parcel by folding each side up and onto itself. This folds air into the centre.
Replace "parcel" into oiled bowl seam side down, replace lid and allow to rise 1 hour.
Tip out, repeat folding process and rise again in bowl, as before.
Place pizza stone into a cold oven onto the bottom rack (do not place on floor of oven - it may damage your oven). Pre-heat oven to 250C with the bottom element working +/- fan.
Meanwhile, place ThermoMat or baking paper onto bench and sprinkle with semolina flour/polenta. Tip "dough" onto oiled bench, loosely fold again and place seam side down onto ThermoMat/paper (it's quite a loose mixture). Sprinkle semolina/polenta on top, spray well with water (I use my ironing bottle), slash the top a few times with a very sharp knife (this allows the mixture to move and not be trapped inside the crispy crust formed by the water spray).
Working quickly (you don't want to loose all the oven heat) - place ThermoMat/paper onto pizza stone and cook at 250C for 10 min, then another 20 min at 200C.
Bread is cooked when the bottom sounds hollow when tapped.

Tip
Pre-soaking the grains and the slow rising process makes the grains/flour easier to digest for those with tummy sensitivities.
You can also do this with sprouted grains - just place grains in a shallow dish, rinse a couple of times each day and keep moist (not wet) in a sunny spot until they sprout (usually a couple of days). I find my Varoma is perfect as I cn spread them on the bottom, rinse them under the tap and leave them with the lid on (rest it on a plate to catch the drips).
If using thick yogurt then use water quantity as per recipe, if using buttermilk you may want to reduce the water to 200g. The mixture texture is similar to a Ciabatta or Focaccia mix.
A slow rise also gives an improved depth of flavour, therfore using room temperature water is good and it's OK to use cold buttermilk/yogurt in the mix. Yeast is not killed by cold - it just works slower.
Whenever you are moving/folding the batter - lightly oil your hands to prevent the batter from sticking.
You can repeat the rise and fold process several times if you wish to get more air in.
You can also leave the mixture in the fridge to do it's first rise overnight.
I've found that it stays moist and keeps very well stored in a plastic bag at room temperature particularly if I add a TBspn of Chia seeds into the mix - as they attract and hold moisture.
I've done it with Laucke Wallaby Bread Flour and Organic Four Leaf (85%) Flour.

Looking forward to making this!!
Soaking my grains tonight! Looking forward to seeing the final product
Yes I cook mine on my ThermoMat as it makes it easy to move the dough across to the oven - I place it on a pizza stone that's already hot in the oven. However you could do it on a baking tray with baking paper if you prefer.

Did you cook th ebread with the thermomat in the oven? The recipe reads this way but I would not expect you could do this. Looks like my kind of bread. Am going to try it!

Thanks for the dried figs and walnuts idea Sharon. I'll definitely be trying that next time. There's enough dough to divide it for two loaves: one plain and the other with figs/walnuts. Perfect! Best wishes, Victoria.
Glad you enjoyed it and I hope you had some yummy homemade butter with it too!
You're right - the first time it looks a bit daunting but it's actually quire simple and it's left alone quite a bit during te process. A good one to make whilst doing the houswork/gardening
Try adding some chopped dried figs or walnuts into the mix during the kneading process - pure heaven on a cheese board

This bread is amazing!
I admit I was a bit worried making it as it seemed like a lot of work and time (im so impatient
) but I am so happy with the outcome!
I used homemade buttermilk so I only added 200g of water to the mix and it turned out perfect!
I dont eat bread very often but I found it very hard to stop at 1 slice. Will definitely be making this again.
Thanks VictoriaR glad you enjoyed it. Your comment re using thick yogurt has prompted me to add a few more notes to assit others.
You can also try it with sprouted grains if you like - see Tips.

Thank you so much for posting this recipe Sharon. It is without a doubt the most scrumptious bread I have ever experienced. The crusty outside contrasts so beautifully with the interesting texture of the bread, and the flavour is so wonderfully unique. I used spelt grains, bakers flour from our local organic shop, and quite thick yogurt in my bread. The mixture was, as many people commented, very soft and challenging to handle but the final product was amazing and looked just like the picture posted with the recipe. I will definitely be making this one again - lots.
