Baking bread at home is an activity that can be very rewarding and relaxing. The aroma of fresh bread that wafts through the house is a delight, and the end result is a tasty and healthy product that the whole family can enjoy. A delicious and unique variation on homemade bread is jabuticaba bread. Here's a complete step-by-step guide to making this delicious treat.
Ingredients:
- 500g wheat flour
- 10g dry biological yeast
- 10g of salt
- 50g of sugar
- 250ml of warm water
- 100g of fresh jabuticabas
- 100g of dehydrated jabuticabas
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
Before you start making the bread, it is important to prepare all the ingredients. This includes washing the fresh jaboticabas and letting them dry completely. Dehydrated jabuticabas should be placed in a bowl of water to hydrate for about 30 minutes.
Step 2: Mix the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make sure all ingredients are well mixed.
Step 3: Add the water
Add the warm water to the dry ingredient mixture. Use your hands or a wooden spoon to mix everything together until it forms a dough. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water. If it's too wet, add a little more flour.
Step 4: Knead the dough
Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic. This is an important step in developing the gluten in the flour, which will give the bread its characteristic texture.
Step 5: Add the jabuticabas
Once the dough is well kneaded, add the fresh and dried jabuticabas. Knead the dough again to incorporate the fruit. This will give the bread a delicious taste and beautiful color.
Step 6: Let the dough rest
Place the dough in a large bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size. This is the time the yeast needs to ferment and make the dough rise.
Step 7: Shape the bread
Once the dough has doubled in size, knead it again to remove the air. Then model the dough in the shape you want. You can make a big round loaf, or divide the dough into smaller pieces to make buns.
Step 8: Bake the bread
Place the bread on a greased baking sheet and place in an oven preheated to 180°C. Bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and makes a hollow sound when tapped lightly on the underside. Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Done! Now you have delicious homemade jabuticaba bread. This bread is perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack, and it's a great way to use fresh or dried jaboticabas. Hope you enjoy this step by step and have fun making bread at home!
