Bread Recipe

Introduction

Sliced ​​bread is one of the most consumed breads in the world. It is versatile, delicious and easy to make. In this recipe, we will teach you how to make a fluffy and tasty homemade bread. Shall we start?

Ingredients

• 1 kg of wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon of salt
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 2 cups of warm water
• 2 packets of dry yeast

Preparation

Initially, in a large bowl, mix the wheat flour, salt and sugar. Then make a well in the center of the mixture and add the butter and yeast. Mix everything very well.

Add the warm water little by little while mixing the ingredients. Water should be added slowly so that the dough is not too soft. Keep mixing until the dough starts to pull away from your hands. If necessary, add a little more flour.

Once the dough is smooth, knead it on a smooth, floured surface for about 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. Knead the dough by folding it over itself and pressing it down with the palm of your hand. This process is very important to activate the gluten in the flour, which will give the bread its structure.

Place the dough in a large bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size. This is the fermentation process, which is essential for bread to rise and become fluffy.

After the dough doubles in size, knead it again for another 5 minutes to remove the air. Then divide the dough into two equal parts and model each of them in a shape of bread. Place the doughs in two greased and floured loaf pans and let them rest for another 30 minutes, or until they double in size again.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the buns for about 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and make a hollow sound when tapped lightly on the underside. Let the buns cool completely before slicing.
