Homemade bread from A to Z

How to bake white wheat bread at home

To prepare this bread you will need to prepare 1 kg of wheat flour

  • 2 glasses of water,
  • 30 – 40 g yeast,
  • 1 tbsp. spoon of salt,
  • 2 tbsp. l. Sahara,
  • 1 – 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp. l. butter

Let's start kneading the dough. Take half the flour, mix it with 1.5 cups of water and yeast. Mix all this very well. It is better to first dilute the yeast and add it to the flour. It is best to knead the dough with your hands, adding a little flour if necessary, until it stops sticking to the walls of the pan.

Keep in mind that the pan should be of such a size that the dough can freely increase in size to 3 times

Cover with a towel and place the pan in a warm place for 3 to 4 hours, kneading it periodically (about every hour).

After the dough has increased by 1.5 - 2 times, knead the dough again, adding the remaining flour, water, salt, sugar and vegetable oil. If you want the dough to be more rich, add one egg to it. Knead everything well, cover the pan, and put it back in a warm place for 1.5 hours.

Prepare the molds, this can be a deep baking sheet, a saucepan, special baking dishes, grease them with oil and place the dough in them, keep in mind that you should not fill the molds completely, since the dough will increase in size during baking.

Place the molds for 20–40 minutes in a warm place, preferably near a warm radiator. The dough will rise a little more.

Now the most crucial moment - baking bread. If the oven is at high temperature and low humidity, we can get low, unbaked, hard bread, so the temperature and humidity need to be created at a certain level.

To begin, heat the oven to 160 - 180 degrees and place a bowl of water on the bottom of the oven. Place the molds on the middle shelf and hold for 6 - 10 minutes, then raise the temperature to 220 - 280 degrees, bake until done, at the end of baking, reduce the temperature again to 180 degrees. Baking time depends on the weight of the loaf, for 1.5 kg - about 1.5 hours.

After removing the bread from the oven, brush it with a 1:1 diluted egg with water or oil. Cover with a towel and leave to cool. After it cools down, you can remove it from the mold.

Start baking - we are sure you will succeed.

An old recipe for homemade bread with yeast

To bake this bread you will need:

  • 10 g yeast
  • 0.5 cups warm water
  • 1 glass of warm milk
  • 4 tbsp. l. vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • wheat flour as needed

You need to pour the yeast into warm water with the addition of 1 tablespoon of flour, stir everything thoroughly. Add salt, milk and butter.

While stirring, add flour little by little until the dough becomes stiff, but soft, tender and does not stick to your hands.

Divide the entire dough into several small koloboks. Flatten slightly and place on a baking sheet. Place in hot oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes.

Check readiness with a match by piercing the bread; if the dough does not stick to the match, the bread is ready. Take it out and place it on a wooden board, covering it with a towel for 20 minutes.

In ancient Russian recipes it was advised to grease the mold with hemp oil, and before baking the bread, keep the flour in a warm place for two days.

  • Water – 1 l.

The flour must be sifted, then add butter and salt. It will be most convenient to take a large bowl for this procedure.

The yeast is first placed in heated water, and when it becomes liquid enough, it needs to be poured into a bowl with flour. Now all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed for a quarter of an hour.

After an hour and a half, the kneading procedure is repeated, then the dough needs to be given a few more hours (ideally 180 minutes) for it to settle. During kneading, the mass must be pressed down and carbon dioxide will come out of it.

The dough is distributed into bread baking molds, but if there are none, you can manually form neat loaves.

The mixture should sit in the mold for another hour and then it’s time for baking - the molds with bread are placed in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for an hour.

This is a recipe for the most ordinary, but really tasty bread, to which you can add cheese if you wish. To do this, the easiest way would be to rub it onto a loaf that is not yet cooled.

We offer you to watch a video so that you can see all the stages of preparing such simple bread at home:

Healthy rye

Rye bread is considered more dietary. To prepare it at home in the oven you need:

  • Flour (rye and wheat) – 1 kg each;
  • Yeast (it is better to use dry yeast) – 1 table. spoon;
  • Water – 1.5 l;
  • Sugar - half the table. spoons;
  • Salt – 2 teaspoons. spoons;
  • Sunflower oil – 1 table. spoon.

Baking rye bread at home in the oven is practically no different from the first recipe.

The water needs to be heated to room temperature, then pour in the yeast, previously mixed in one container with sugar.

Then let it brew for a quarter of an hour.

Sift both types of flour and place in a bowl of suitable size.

Add a little oil (vegetable) and a couple of pinches of salt.

Gradually start adding water with yeast, stirring while doing so.

Knead the mixture and let it sit for 1 hour in a warm and dry place, covering the container with a towel (can be placed in a plastic bag).

Grease the mold for future loaves with oil, place the dough there and leave for 30-40 minutes, covering with a special baking film.

During this time, let the oven preheat.

Bake the bread at 200 degrees for 40-50 minutes.

One head of garlic is sometimes added to rye products for a piquant taste.

Without yeast on kefir

This is a budget-friendly recipe for making loaves with a crispy crust and amazing flavor. For it you will need:

  • 300 grams of flour (wheat);
  • 1 tsp. spoon of soda;
  • 200 milliliters of kefir (you can measure it in a glass);
  • 1 tsp. spoon of salt.

The consistency of the dough should be approximately the same as when making pancakes. First you need to mix together all the dry ingredients of the recipe, that is, flour, salt and soda. After this, kefir is added.

Stir what happens with a spoon, and then knead thoroughly with your hands for ten to fifteen minutes. The mass sticks very much to your hands, but you cannot add flour during the cooking process, but you can grease it with butter.

Heat the oven to 200 degrees, place the dough in a baking container, having also greased it first. This bread takes an average of 40 to 50 minutes to bake. It is best to check readiness using a thin wooden stick.

Borodinsky

Borodino loaves are very healthy and have a piquant taste. Preparing this bread at home in the oven requires the use of the following products:

  • Rye flour – 3.5 cups;
  • Wheat flour – 2 cups;
  • Yeast – 2.5 teaspoons. spoons (it’s better to take dry ones);
  • Sugar – 3 table. spoons;
  • Sunflower oil – 1 table. spoon;
  • Salt – 2 teaspoons. spoons;
  • Ground coriander – 1 table. spoon;
  • Natural cocoa – 3 tables. spoons;
  • Water.

The consistency of the dough should be liquid, like sour cream. To achieve this, rye flour (1.5 cups) must be mixed with water at room temperature.

Then add yeast (half a teaspoon) and sugar (1.5 tablespoons) to the resulting mass. Since Borodino bread requires leavening, after completing these steps, the bowl of dough should be placed in a dry and warm place for 2-3 days.

Wheat flour must be sifted and mixed with the remaining rye flour in a deep bowl. Then gradually pour in boiled water.

Add the remaining sugar, yeast, cocoa, a pinch of salt, coriander, butter and a tablespoon of pre-prepared sourdough. Beat all components thoroughly for 10 minutes.

Place in the pan, cover it with a clean towel and wait about two hours, allowing the future loaf to brew. At 180 degrees in the oven, Borodino bread is baked for half an hour.

Dark bread is served with all soups; it will be especially tasty with borscht and cabbage soup.

By the way, every housewife prepares Borodino bread in her own way and it is very difficult to find the same standard recipe for its preparation. You can only choose the most suitable one for yourself.
