Whole Kamut Sourdough Bread Loaf

I made this dish dairy free by replacing butter with extra virgin olive oil, and make the grated cheese only optional. Make it with ground beef or a 50 /50 mix of beef and venison, add plenty of pepper, you will enjoy it, guaranteed. Make it with the Vitaliseur steam cooker and you will speed the process, boost taste intensity and nutrient density of your meal considerably.
