Learn how to make delicious homemade bread with simple ingredients and easy steps.
Baking homemade bread doesn't have to be complicated. In this blog, I'll show you how to make a delicious loaf of bread with simple steps and ingredients you probably already have at home.
Ingredients:
- 500 grams of wheat flour
- 10 grams of salt
- 7 grams of active dry yeast
- 300 ml of warm water
Step-by-step instructions:
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
- Activate the yeast: In a separate container, mix the yeast with warm water. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it starts to bubble.
- Combine the mixtures: Pour the yeast mixture into the flour and salt. Mix with a wooden spoon until a sticky, uniform dough forms.
- Knead the dough: Lightly flour a flat surface and place the dough on it. Knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- First rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 220°C (428°F) while the dough rises.
- Shape the bread: Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to make a few diagonal cuts on top of the loaf.
- Bake: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
- Enjoy your homemade bread: Smell that delicious aroma of freshly baked bread. Enjoy it with butter, jam, or your favorite beverage. Perfect to share with loved ones or to enjoy anytime during the day.
