Ingredients | amount |
Wheat flour | 1 kg |
Dry / or pressed yeast | 15 g / 45 g |
Salt | 1 tbsp. l |
Water | 650-750 ml |
Step cooking
- Sift wheat flour (1 kg) into a deep bowl. Add dry yeast (1.5 tablespoons) and salt (1 tablespoon) to the flour. Mix the dry ingredients with a spoon well.
- Gradually pour water at a temperature of 30-40 degrees into a bowl and knead uncooked dough with a spoon. The amount of water (650-750 ml) depends on the properties of the flour.
- When the dough has gathered in a lump, cover the bowl with cling film and leave for 2 hours in a warm place. After 2 hours, you can start baking, but the bread will be tastier if the dough is kept in the refrigerator from 2 hours to 7 days.
- The longer the dough is stored in the refrigerator, the more aromatic the bread is. After cooling the dough in the refrigerator, sprinkle the work surface with flour and lay out half of the dough.
- Form your hands a round loaf of bread and put it on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Dust the formed dough on top with sifted flour (tablespoon), cover with a clean, dry towel and let the dough rise for 1-2 hours. Dust the remaining dough in a bowl with flour, tighten the bowl with cling film and store in the refrigerator until the next baking.
- Sprinkle the rising bread with water and make 2 longitudinal cuts on it so that the bread does not crack during baking.
- Bake bread in an oven preheated to 230 degrees: 15 minutes - with steam, 15-20 minutes - with the door not tightly closed. Serve the cooled bread for the first and second courses, and also use as a basis for various sandwiches, slicing the bread into thin portioned slices.
