Bake some bread with me Part 1
So in my household we love bread but I just don’t like all the extra stuff that’s in the bread we buy so I was like hmmm let’s make some bread with simple ingredients
1 pack of active yeast u can use instant raising if u don’t want to wait long
2 cups of very warm or hot water the temp it has to be between 110 and 120 degrees no higher that way u don’t kill the yeast
Baking is such a science because u have to make sure it’s right lol hint that’s why I was afraid of baking 😂
1/4 of cup of sugar I used brown sugar because I love it better
5 cups of unbleached bread flour whole wheat I love if u don’t have that u can use regular flour it’s all about your preference
cover dough with paper towel or sticky wrap to raise once your dough has risen use 1ablespoon of olive oil rub on hands so the dough won’t stick add flour to your cutting board
roll out your dough form into a circle
Cut a shape into your dough this was my 1st time so I didn’t really know what to do but I made it fun lol
U can also add herbs if u like or fruit be creative I made mines a cinnamon swirl the kids love it
Bake at 400-450 degrees for an hr for the last 15 mins bake with top off so it can brown up even more I added more cinnamon sugar why because I wanted a lil sweetness too it
Let cool before u cut then enjoy with some honey butter 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I promise u once u start making your own bread u will never go back to store bought I’ll post the video of me cutting it so u can see the goodness
Baking bread from scratch is a rewarding experience that brings not only nourishment but also joy to the home. In this article, we explore the essential ingredients needed to make the perfect bread, including yeast, warm water, sugar, and flour. When choosing flour, consider using unbleached bread flour or whole wheat variants for added flavor and texture. The right water temperature is crucial; it should be between 110°F and 120°F to activate the yeast without killing it. Always allow your dough to rise properly, which can take time, but you can speed up the process with instant yeast. Adding different flavors and ingredients to your bread can elevate its taste, making it unique. For instance, incorporating herbs, spices, or even fruit can transform a simple recipe into a gourmet delight. Techniques like creating a cinnamon swirl are great for adding sweetness, making bread enjoyable for kids and adults alike. Finally, the baking process is an art as much as it is a science. Baking at high temperatures will give your bread a beautiful crust while letting it cool before cutting will enhance its texture. Enjoy this homemade bread warm with honey butter or your favorite spread for a delightful treat!
