Recipe with pictures, explained step by step – The tastiest homemade bread – Nothing compares to warm, homemade bread… look how it turned out!
Ingredients needed:
- 6 g dry yeast
- 200 ml of water
- 200 g of flour
Ingredients needed for the dough:
- 300 ml of water
- 6 g dry yeast
- 550 g of flour
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2-3 tablespoons of oil
Method of preparation:
Put the yeast, water and flour in a saucepan. Mix very well, put the lid on and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
The next day, put the yeast mixture in a large bowl. Add 3/4 of the water and mix. Add yeast, sifted flour, salt and knead a homogeneous dough. Towards the end, add the oil and knead for another 10 minutes.
Note: if the dough is too hard, during the kneading we also add the remaining water, but only if needed.
Cover the bowl with foil and leave the dough to rise, in a warm place, until it doubles in volume. (1-2 hours). Later, we pull the edges of the dough towards the middle and leave it to rise for another 20 minutes. We repeat this step 2 more times.
After the last 20 minutes, we remove the dough to the work surface. Shape the dough into a rectangle with your hands. We fold and roll as seen in the images below.
We transfer the bread to a tray lined with baking paper, cover it with a clean kitchen towel and leave it to rise for 1 hour. We toast the bread, anoint it with water.
Bake the bread in the oven preheated to 250 degrees, covered, for 20 minutes. We reduce the temperature to 200 degrees and bake it for another 20 minutes. Remove the lid and bake the bread until nicely browned, for the last 20 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack and let it cool completely.
Savor with gusto! Good appetite!
