Increasingly, housewives prefer home-made white bread. There are many recipes for such baking. The bread is kneaded in milk, yogurt, sour cream or plain water, but in any case it turns out incredibly tasty.
White bread in the oven - the basic principles of cooking
To make classic white bread you will need flour, yeast, salt and water. Of the listed ingredients, knead the dough, let it come up and bake. The basis of white bread is premium wheat flour. Replacing certain products, you can get a new taste of baking. So, water can be replaced with milk, kefir or yogurt, and yeast can be replaced with leaven. Eggs, vegetable or cream fat, spices, etc. are added to the dough.
Particular attention should be paid to yeast. How good the baking will turn out depends on their quality. It is better to use a live product, but if you could not buy one, you can use dry yeast.
Knead the dough exclusively with your hands, even if you used a food processor for this, at the end you still need to knead it yourself for two to three minutes. It is placed in a deep container and left to rise in heat for a couple of hours. Then you need to knead the dough a couple of times, but you need to do this with light movements, just letting air out of it, if you knead, the bread will not turn out lush.
Round or square bread is formed from the finished dough, left for proofing, and then baked for an hour.
Today many housewives use bread machines for kneading and baking. Of course, this is convenient, but manually kneaded bread is much tastier.
