IfThey have never tried making bread before, try this simple recipe for a simple white bread first. Nothing fancy, just plain, delicious white bread with plenty to chew and texture of the bread store could ever have.
White Bread Recipe
1kg/2.2lbs white bread flour
15g / 4 ½ teaspoons instant yeast
1 tablespoon salt
about 700 ml / not quite 3 cups water
You need a big bowl of flour or you can pile on a clean surface and a compartment for water. I use aBowl and mix the flour and salt, a deepening of the yeast, then pour water, slowly stirring with a knife. Once you join to form a dough, tip off a floured work surface and knead for 10 minutes, sprinkling in more flour as you go, if it gets too sticky.
Knead the dough by pressing with one hand and held it out with the heel of the other, folds in on itself and repeat. It will, sticky and lumpy and gradually flatten. After 10 minutes you shouldfeel stretch and rise if the tooth with your finger. Put it back in the bowl, cover with a plastic bag or a clean cloth and leave in a warm place, away from drafts for an hour and a half, until it has doubled in size. If you're in the middle of winter and no hot spots are available, will increase even more, it only takes more time. Go through the doubling of the size rather than the length of time required.
Beat the dough down - squashing all the air out of him again - then they do in twoBread, round, long, plaited or sculptural can! Put the loaves on a floured or lightly greased foil. Let rise for another 3 / 4 of an hour, again covering with a plastic bag or a cloth, then cook for 30 minutes 200C/400F. (If the children to do small roles as soon as they do, check after 15 minutes). The bread is ready when it rings hollow when you knock on the bottom of the bread.
The great thing is that the bread is edible, even if cooked too, only crunchy.My fault only with this recipe was the first time I made it. I have a huge loaf of bread with this amount and half had a little 'underdone, but even then you could eat the rest.
Cool the bread on a wire rack and try not to scoff the lot, while still hot ...
Once you've had a couple of tests with this recipe, and convinced yourself you can cook, not a big leap to try other bread yeast. The process for most of them. The only danger is that once you startBake the bread, your family, you can not stop!
