Barley bread is a type of
bread made from
flour of the grain of the
barley plant. In the
British Isles it is a bread which dates back to the
Iron Age. Barley flour may not be as commonly used singly for baking as it once was, but it can be found at
health food stores and speciality baking stores, and it is commonly blended (in a smaller proportion) with wheat to make conventional bread-making flour.
