How To Make Baked BarleyBaked barley is a nearly foolproof cooking technique. Although it isn't exactly the most economical way to cook your grain, it can be helpful to learn how to bake barley -- it just might turn out to be your favorite way to make it! Pour 2 1/2 cups water or veggie broth in a covered saucepan. Add 1 Tablespoon of fat (such as Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, or a non-dairy butter like Earth Balance). Meanwhile, place 1 cup pre-soaked barley into a one-and-a-half quart glass baking dish. When water (or broth) comes to a boil, add to the dish, stirring to combine. Cover the dish tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake on the middle oven rack at 375 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour. When the barley is tender to your liking, remove the cover and fluff the barley with a fork. (If you prefer to use pearled barley instead of hulled, reduce cooking time by at least half.) Your barley is ready to eat. Create your very own recipe with some of your favorite ingredients from Barley's "Vegan Flavor Matches" list.
