Homemade Bread, Healthy and Fun
Homespun bread is healthy, and affordable.
To produce made in the home a bread loaf you will require flour, water, yeast, salt, and what size bread loaf tin you would like to use. This recipe will use the standard bread loaf tin, getatable in any store.
For a straightforward homemade bread loaf mix you will need: 3/4 oz. dried active yeast, 2 cups warm water, 2 pounds bread flour, and 1 tbsp. salt. Have some extra flour on hand for dusting.
Right away comes the mixing step. Mix your yeast in with your warm water until well dissolved. In a big bowl, mix the salt with most of the flour, but not all. Mix the water into generally one pound of the salted flour mixture. Mix well so it is well incorporated, then add the leftover of the salted flour mixture. Persist to mix until it is all well incorporated. You want the dough to be smooth, but not sticky. Maintain to knead the dough until this is reached. You should end up with an elastic very smooth dough. Carry on to add the flour mixture bit by bit until this viscosity has been reached, and the dough does not stick to the bowl.
Now you have to let the bread ferment. Model your dough into a smooth ball, set it into a well greased bowl, and shield it with a clean towel. It should be located in a warm area to rise. You want your dough to be doubled in size, and when you poke it the dough does not spring back at you.
Without delay remove the dough from the bowl, and roll it out onto a sparingly dusted cutting board, and roll out the excess gases. Establish how many bread loaf tins you will make use, and split the dough apart thus. Cover with a clean lint free towel. Let rest for barely a few minutes.
Then mold your dough to the comparative size and shape of your bread loaf tins. You do this by shaping and stretching the dough with your hands. Locate the dough in the bread loaf tin and another time cover with a clean towel to ferment some more. You want the dough to again double in size.
Now you are prep to bake. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Loaves, in a bread loaf tin, can take up to 30 minutes of bake time. You will know it is completed when it is a pleasing golden brown color, and when you rap it, it sounds hollowed out. .
