Bread. Bread is one of the most popular food products and has a long history.

AT different countries bread has been given different names. As soon as it is called - loaf, pita bread, pita, tortilla, baguette, matzo, etc.

The main ingredients of bread are flour and water. The most commonly used rye and Wheat flour, also bread is baked from barley, corn and other types of flour. You can add yeast or baking powder, salt to bread. Additives "for an amateur" are nuts, raisins, dried apricots, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, cumin, etc.

With the advent of bread machines for sale, many housewives have purchased these units and bake fragrant lush bread at home. Contrary to popular belief that “a lot of fuss”, baking bread is not such a difficult task. At least, baking bread is easier than making dumplings, and even a young housewife is not afraid of the latter.

So, for baking ordinary bread, you need wheat flour (it is better to take flour premium), yeast, salt and water. If you want rye bread, then remember what to take rye flour in its pure form is not recommended, because the dough will not rise. Experiments with sourdough can also be disappointing - it is much more reliable to take ordinary yeast. The most common mistake in baking bread is diluting yeast with boiling water. Only warm water should be used.

It will take a maximum of 10 minutes to knead the dough, and not two hours, as many people think. However, it is not necessary to knead it yourself - look for this function in a food processor. After the machine, it is recommended to knead the dough by hand for a couple more minutes - to consolidate the result.

Do not constantly add flour to the dough "so as not to stick." The dough simply does not have enough air - kneading will easily solve this problem. After kneading, the dough should “reach”. To do this, it must be placed for a couple of hours in a warm place where there is no draft.

The dough is then punched down to "drive out" the carbon dioxide that was formed during fermentation. But you don’t need to do this for a long time - the dough will lose splendor.

The mashed dough remains to be divided into portions and shaped. The easiest way to do this is with a baking dish. So you can be sure that the dough will not spread. Then the dough is again put in a warm place for 40-50 minutes. After 20 minutes, gently press on the dough - the mark should completely disappear. This is an indication that he has risen.

You can decorate the bread with notches that can be made with a sharp knife. By the way, this is not only a decorative measure. Notches allow you to control the shape and prevent cracks.

Bread should be placed in a hot oven, which should be preheated to 250-260ºС. During baking, do not constantly open the oven - the cold has a bad effect on bread.

The readiness of bread is determined by knocking - an empty sound indicates that bread can be taken out. However, this will tell you a unique aroma. However, you should not rush - it is better to try the bread slightly cooled.

Fresh homebaked bread can be eaten even without additives. And you can combine with any products - for example, make sandwiches with cheese and butter or more solid ones - with chicken or sausage. Well, someone likes sweet options - spread honey, marmalade, jam on top, chocolate butter etc.

In the cuisine of any nation for which bread is the basis of the diet, there are many dishes using bread that is not the first freshness. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s yesterday’s baguette or croissant, a rough homemade loaf or black bread dried into a stone - if there is no mold on it, we can safely use it as an independent ingredient. And this is not only crackers, bruschettas, croutons and other croutons - a choice of dishes from stale bread much wider.
