Homemade Bread Ingredients:
- 4 cups of wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 packet of dry yeast (10g)
- 1 cup of warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
About the Ingredients:
Wheat flour is the base of our bread. Sugar feeds the yeast, making the dough rise. Salt enhances the flavor. Biological yeast is largely responsible for the rise of the dough. Warm water activates the yeast and olive oil makes the bread softer and tastier.
Preparation method:
- Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast and warm water. Mix with a spoon until a smooth dough forms. Add the olive oil and mix a little more.
- Resting the dough: Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Shape the bread: Grease a baking tin with olive oil and place the dough in. Cover again and let it rest for another 30 minutes.
- To roast: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the bread for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
