Culinary Etude 24.01.2018

Homemade bread - the sound of these words is magical! It seems that a magical aroma penetrates your nose, and you feel how a hand squeezes an elastic loaf and brings it to your face. Such bread was not cut, but must be broken into pieces.

The familiar word "hunk" comes from the word "break". The hands of the baker put a soul into the bread that cannot be hurt with a knife. Everyone can make bread at home. Even in an ordinary, antediluvian, Soviet-style oven without numerous functions, you can bake a real masterpiece with a crispy crust. Let's check?

Dear readers of Irina's blog, I have been baking homemade bread for many years. In summer - in a small stove that lives in the yard, and in winter - in the oven. Do you think that baking good bread at home is very difficult? Now I will give you recipes with photos that will convince you otherwise!

In the early nineties, I worked in a bakery for my husband's uncle. It was a small bakery built back in the thirties by my uncle's father. Two hundred kilograms of bread came out of the vaulted oven every day.

Uncle Vasya kneaded the dough with his hands, and I molded the bread. It was very hard work. I once joked that they would invent such bread that does not need to be kneaded at all. Many years have passed, and such bread appeared! It is called "bread without kneading".

How to bake rye bread in the oven at home. Recipe with step by step photos

We will bake this loaf from a mixture of rye and wheat flour. Beginners in baking should not immediately start baking bread at home from 100% rye flour - it's really difficult.

Purely rye homemade bread, like the pre-war Borodino bread, should be baked only on sourdough. I recommend that you first master simple recipes, and then take on more complex ones.

For beginners, I advise you to start learning baking with bread without kneading. It was invented by American baker Jim Lahey. A few years later, the recipe made a splash.

The New York Times gastronomy columnist Mark Bittman, under the name "The Great Bread", introduced the amazing bread to the pages of a respectable and authoritative publication after attending a baking master class.

Bittman, who had seen quite a few gastronomic miracles in his lifetime, was struck by the fact that with the help of ordinary household kitchen utensils, without special equipment and equipment, spending a meager amount of physical strength, you can get fantastic quality bread with a thin crispy crust and a magnificent crumb.

The secret lies in the fact that with a long proofing and a sufficiently high humidity, gluten develops perfectly, on which the test conditions depend. And the conditions under the lid of the cast-iron pan, in which baking is usually done, provide optimal conditions for obtaining the famous crust. That's all!

The most famous bread recipe in the oven

I am pleased to present you the most famous recipe for bread in the oven.
We will start the dough with dry yeast, but you can also use ordinary “wet” yeast. In the text, the word "pulish" denotes a thick dough.

Poolish Ingredients

  • 180 g peeled rye flour;
  • 180 ml water (25°C);
  • One gram (0.25 teaspoon) dry yeast.

Dough Ingredients

  • the whole poolish;
  • 420 g wheat flour;
  • 250 ml of water (18-20°C);
  • Four tablespoons of fermented rye malt;
  • Five tablespoons of boiling water (malt is brewed with it);
  • 15 g of sugar;
  • 14-16 g of salt.

First you need to make a thick dough. Pour hot water into a mug, add yeast.

Pour the water with yeast into the sifted rye flour, placed in a bowl with a capacity of about half a liter, mix well with a fork, put in a plastic bag for 180 minutes to rise. Ready pullish in the photo.

Sift wheat flour (I use a plastic container with a capacity of three liters), put in it all the dough, brewed malt, salt, sugar, pour in water.

Stir, grind as it should with your fingers until a mass of uniform color is obtained.

The dough will turn out sticky and watery - that's right. Do not add any flour!

After half an hour, use a spatula to fold the dough into an envelope.

Close the container with a lid. Fermentation will take place for twelve hours at a temperature of 22-23°C.

After twelve hours, the dough will almost reach the “ceiling”, it will become “bubbly”. Now you need to dump it on the table, thickly sprinkled with rye bran, wheat or rye flour.

Fold into an envelope with a spatula.

Load into a wicker basket or any suitable container (after placing a clean cloth in it, on which flour or bran is generously sprinkled).

The seam should look up. In other recipes, the opposite recommendation is found. Try this and that. Choose whichever is more convenient for you.

To be sure, pour a little flour on top, wrap the edges of the towel. Allow proofing at 22-23°C for ninety minutes. Pictured is the risen dough.

Turn on the oven, heat up to 200°C. Twenty minutes before sending the bread for baking, place a container with a lid in the oven. Best of all - a massive cast iron pan. My business does not have this luxury. I took advantage of a battered enameled leaky "pensioner".

After twenty minutes, remove the dishes from the oven, open the lid, dump out the risen dough.

Replace the lid, return the mold to the oven.

Bake fifty minutes. Recalling that each oven has its own character, which you need to adapt to. You may need more time to bake the loaf.

We take out the finished product from the oven, wrap it in a towel, let it cool completely. You can eat homemade rye bread in three to four hours, otherwise it will seem damp. In the photo - the product in the context.

Wheat bread at home. Simple, tried and tested recipe

This is a recipe for wheat bread without kneading. I offer exactly it, as the simplest, tested many times. See what a cute homemade bread in the photo.

You always want to return to it, it captivates with its ease of implementation, a minimum amount of yeast, a delicate, porous crumb and excellent taste. I will keep silent about the aroma - you will add a lot of superlative epithets yourself!

Dough Ingredients

  • 250 g wheat flour;
  • 90 ml warm (30°C) water;
  • 60 ml yeast water;
  • 4 g salt.

Yeast Water Ingredients

  • 200 ml warm (30°C) water;
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry yeast.

Dough Ingredients

  • All dough;
  • 250 g flour;
  • 180 ml of water;
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry yeast;
  • 4 g sugar;
  • 4 g salt.

How to bake in the oven

Let's make yeast water. To do this, dissolve a quarter teaspoon of yeast in water. We pour out the 60 ml we need from the resulting liquid. This can be done with a beaker or a regular disposable syringe. We don't need the rest of the water.

Mix all the components of the dough in a bowl with a capacity of about one and a half liters. We will send in a plastic bag for twelve hours. Ambient temperature - 22-23 ° С.

Sift the flour into a deep container, add salt, sugar, yeast, water, all the dough, mix with your hands, eliminating lumps. I put the container in a plastic bag.

After fifty minutes, fold the dough into an envelope using a conventional plastic paint spatula, leave to ferment for another 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Cover the table generously with flour through a sieve, tip the liquid dough that has come up into it, shape the bread, put it on a sprinkled linen towel put in a bowl with a diameter of about 24-26 cm, sprinkle with flour on top, cover. Let proof in heat for 90 minutes.

Bake just like rye bread in the oven, only 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, wrap in a towel, cool by placing on a wire rack.

Here you can clearly see the process of preparing a similar product. The video is in English, but everything is clear.

Recipe for yeast-free bread at home

Sometimes homemade sourdough bread is called "yeast-free". This is not entirely correct, since sourdough, in addition to lactic acid bacteria, also contains yeast. Only you brought them out yourself, and did not buy them in the store.

I want to introduce you to yeast-free bread - we will bake it on soda. Soda country bread is very popular in Ireland. For beginners in baking - a real find!

Yeast-free homemade bread turns out fragrant, somehow very homely, rustic. From him emanates comfort and warmth of his native home. It stays fresh for no more than a day. Then it is better to make toast or toast with an egg from it. But usually he does not live up to the second day of his life.

I am giving you a simple Irish bread recipe without yeast in an almost authentic version. Cooking it at home is not at all difficult. I'll be glad if you like it!

Ingredients

  • 385 g of premium wheat flour;
  • 135 g whole wheat;
  • 320 ml of buttermilk, whey or kefir;
  • One teaspoon of soda.

How to bake

Mix the sifted flour with salt, soda. Make a “well”, gradually pour liquid into it, knead a pliable, sticky dough, dump it on a table dusted with flour.

Knead, without fanaticism, roll into a ball. At the top, make cuts "crosswise", 1-2 centimeters deep.

Bake in the oven at 200 ° C for half an hour - forty minutes. Readiness to check with a toothpick - it should come out of the thickest part of the loaf dry.

Wrap the finished homemade bread in a clean cloth, cool.

Yeast-free bread at home on hop sourdough

I have already said that any homemade sourdough bread is only conditionally “yeast-free”. Any sourdough contains yeast grown by you. But there are no "store" in it - it's true.

Ingredients

  • 420 g flour;
  • 280 ml of water;
  • Two teaspoons of liquid honey;
  • 5 tablespoons of hop starter;
  • One heaping teaspoon of salt;
  • Vegetable oil.

How to bake

Pour 120 ml of lukewarm (30 ° C) water into a bowl, put sourdough, honey, a couple of tablespoons of flour into it, stir. It will turn out a mass of sour cream density - “fed” sourdough or dough. It should “come to life”, “bubble” after about 120 minutes of being warm.

Add the remaining sifted flour, warm (30 ° C) water, knead a soft, moist dough. The mass will be quite lumpy at first - that's okay.

Moisten your hands with vegetable oil, knead until smooth, cover the bowl with a film, leave to ferment at a temperature of 22-23 ° C for 14-16 hours.

We form a loaf and bake in the same way as homemade rye and wheat bread without kneading. In time, the baking process in the oven takes approximately 50-60 minutes. Hop bread is placed for proofing not only in a round, but also in an oblong shape. In this case, it is convenient to bake it in a cast iron goose.

Sourdough for homemade hop bread

Ingredients

  • 500 ml of water;
  • A glass (250 ml) of dry hop cones;
  • 1 dessert spoon of honey or sugar;
  • 60 g flour.

How to cook

Pour a glass of hops into boiling water (cones are well tamped in a glass). Cook over low heat until the water is reduced by half. Strain, squeeze out the hops. Leave in a warm place overnight or for 8 hours.

Put honey or sugar, flour, stir, leave for 36-48 hours in a warm place. When the volume of the starter doubles, it “bubbles” properly and begins to fall off, then we can talk about its readiness. We put the ripened homemade sourdough in the refrigerator for storage.

Here is a video where you can see how to make homemade sourdough bread from fresh hop cones.

Store-bought bread will never be tastier than homemade - it is not so fragrant, soft, and a day after purchase it becomes completely stale so that it can be safely thrown away.

But most women do not know how to bake loaves at home, although there is, in fact, nothing difficult in this. In addition, you can always add spices, cheese or sausage to bread cooked in your own oven to give it a special taste.

This article provides affordable easy bread recipes in the oven at home and some tips to help you bake a delicious loaf the first time. A novice hostess can bake not only wheat loaves, but also:

In addition, there is a cooking method without the use of yeast, which will also be discussed below.

Step by step recipes for delicious homemade bread in the oven

In the beginning, it should be noted that for the preparation of this kind of baking, it is always necessary to purchase high-quality flour. In addition, the yeast used should always be as fresh as possible. If these two points are observed, you can get soft and tasty bread.

Simple by leaps and bounds

The first recipe is dedicated to a simple bread, but very soft and airy. The aroma from its baking will pleasantly spread throughout the kitchen. This recipe can be called a "template" for baking simple homemade bread.

The consistency of the dough should ideally resemble heavy cream. 1.5 kg should give just such a result, but if this is not enough, then there is nothing wrong with adding a little more.

  • Flour - 1.5 kg;
  • Salt - 2 tsp. spoons;
  • Yeast - 1 table. a spoon;
  • Water - 1 l.

Sift flour, then add butter and salt. It will be most convenient to take a large bowl for this procedure.

Yeast is preliminarily placed in heated water, and when it becomes liquid enough, it must be poured into a bowl of flour. Now all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed for a quarter of an hour.

After an hour and a half, the kneading procedure is repeated, then the dough needs to be given a few more hours (ideally - 180 minutes) in order for it to infuse. During kneading, the mass must be pressed down and carbon dioxide will come out of it.

The dough is distributed into bread pans, if there are none, then neat loaves can be manually formed.

For another hour, the mass should be infused in the form, and after that it is time to bake - the bread forms are placed in the oven preheated to 180 degrees for an hour.

This is a recipe for the most ordinary, but really tasty bread, in which you can add cheese if you wish. To do this, the easiest way is to rub it on a still warm loaf.

We offer you to watch the video so that you can see all the stages of making such simple bread at home:

Useful rye

Rye bread is considered more dietary. To cook it at home in the oven you need:

  • Flour (rye and wheat) - 1 kg each;
  • Yeast (it is better to use dry) - 1 table. a spoon;
  • Water - 1.5 l;
  • Sugar - half a table. spoons;
  • Salt - 2 tsp. spoons;
  • Sunflower oil. - 1 table. a spoon.

Baking rye bread at home in the oven is practically no different from the first recipe.

Water must be heated to room temperature, then pour it with yeast, previously mixed in one container with sugar.

After let it brew for a quarter of an hour.

Sift both types of flour and place in a suitable bowl.

Add a little oil (vegetable) and a couple of pinches of salt.

Gradually start pouring in water with yeast, while stirring.

Knead the mass and let it brew for 1 hour in a warm and dry place, while covering the container with a towel (can be placed in a plastic bag).

Lubricate the form for future loaves with oil, place the dough there and leave for 30-40 minutes, covering with a special film for baking.

At this time, let the oven heat up.

Bake bread at 200 degrees for 40-50 minutes.

For a spicy taste, one head of garlic is sometimes added to rye products.

Without yeast on kefir

This is a budget recipe for making loaves with a crispy crust and amazing flavor. For him you will need:

  • 300 grams of flour (wheat);
  • 1 teaspoon a spoonful of soda;
  • 200 milliliters of kefir (you can measure with a glass);
  • 1 teaspoon a spoonful of salt.

The consistency of the dough should be about the same as in the manufacture of pancakes. First you need to mix together all the dry ingredients of the recipe, that is, flour, salt and soda. After that, kefir is already added.

What happened, stir with a spoon, and then carefully knead with your hands for ten to fifteen minutes. The mass sticks strongly to the hands, but you can’t add flour during the cooking process, but you can grease it with oil.

Heat the oven to a temperature of 200 degrees, place the dough in a baking dish, pre-lubricated it too. Such bread is baked on average from 40 to 50 minutes. It is best to check readiness with a thin wooden stick.

Borodinsky

Borodino loaves are very healthy and have a piquant taste. Cooking such bread at home in the oven requires the use of the following products:

  • Rye flour - 3.5 cups;
  • Wheat flour - 2 cups;
  • Yeast - 2.5 tsp. spoons (better take dry ones);
  • Sugar - 3 table. spoons;
  • Sunflower oil - 1 table. a spoon;
  • Salt - 2 tsp. spoons;
  • Ground coriander - 1 table. a spoon;
  • Natural cocoa - 3 table. spoons;
  • Water.

The consistency of the dough should be liquid, like sour cream. To achieve this, rye flour (1.5 cups) must be mixed with water at room temperature.

Then add yeast (half a teaspoon) and sugar (1.5 tablespoons) to the resulting mass. Since Borodino bread requires sourdough, after completing these steps, the bowl of dough should be placed in a dry and warm place for 2-3 days.

Wheat flour must be sifted and mixed with the remnants of rye in a deep bowl. Then gradually add boiled water.

Add the remaining sugar, yeast, cocoa, a pinch of salt, coriander, butter and a tablespoon of pre-prepared sourdough. Whisk all ingredients thoroughly for 10 minutes.

Put in a mold, cover it with a clean towel and wait about two hours, allowing the future loaf to brew. At 180 degrees in the oven, Borodino bread is baked for half an hour.

Dark bread is served with all soups, it will be especially tasty with borscht and cabbage soup.

By the way, each housewife prepares Borodino bread in her own way and it is very difficult to find the same standard recipe for its preparation. You can only choose the most suitable for yourself.

Therefore, we suggest watching another video recipe. Perhaps you will like it more.

For an electric oven, you can use any of the recipes that were listed above. Several important rules must be followed:

  1. To prevent the bread from burning from below, it must be placed on a baking sheet, previously sprinkled with coarse salt. Dampened paper or special foil will help protect the loaf from burning the top;
  2. The classic baking temperature in an electric oven for products of this type is 180-200 degrees. This rule applies to the intermediate level;

  • a little alcohol, just a couple of drops are enough for 1 kg of dough (white table wine, rum, cognac), if you decide to add cognac, be prepared that the bread crumb will turn a little grayish.

These flavoring and aromatic products are added both to the dough during kneading and when shaping the product. It is also possible to spread seeds or pieces of fruit on the top surface before placing the dough in the proofer (rise the dough in a warm place before the actual bread at home (in the oven) will be original and individual with any of the above additions.

homemade bread recipe

So, we are preparing quick bread in the oven. The recipe is quite simple, but it is recommended to strictly follow the recipe so that the yeast in the dough starts to "work" in time and the finished bread comes out fluffy and soft.

Products for the recipe:

  • milk - 250 ml, or a mixture of powdered milk and water - 2 tbsp. l. on a glass;
  • wheat flour (highest grade) - 500 g;
  • or C0) - 1 pc.;
  • salt - 1/2 tsp;
  • granulated sugar - 1 tsp;
  • fast-acting dry yeast - 2 tsp;
  • vegetable oil - 7 tbsp. l.

It should be noted that instead of milk, it is quite possible to add plain water or cream of any fat content to the recipe.

  1. Take a pot with a volume of 2-3 liters. Pour milk and 5 tbsp. l. vegetable oil. Also add sugar and salt. Place the stove over moderate heat and heat to dissolve the sugar and salt. But the mixture should not be too hot, let alone boil.
  2. Then take the pan off the stove and add the egg. Stir and add yeast and a few tablespoons of wheat flour. Stir again and cover the pan with a lid. Let it brew for 30 minutes.
  3. Then sift the remaining flour directly onto the table (or into a wide bowl). Make a well in the center and pour the starter from the pot into it. Knead the dough quickly with your hands. Make sure that the lump is uniform in consistency.
  4. Then put the lump in a clean bowl and cover with a napkin. Leave in a warm, draft-free place. After half an hour, the dough will begin to rise, you need to knead it a little with your hands, that is, lower it. The next time it rises, do the same.
  5. In the meantime, prepare the bread pan - well coat all the inner surfaces with oil.
  6. When the dough has risen again, take it out of the bowl and put it into the mold. Lubricate the top with liquid oil. Now you can enter some additional ingredient (see above - "Additional components for the test").
  7. Place the proofing dish in a warm place for 15-20 minutes. The quality of the finished bread depends in part on how the dough rises now.
  8. Then place the mold in the oven at 200°C for 40 minutes.
  9. After baking, gently shake the loaves out of the mold and place on a wire rack to cool naturally for 4-6 hours. Only after that the loaf is recommended to be eaten.

Very important! Yeast bread in the oven will not work without proofing before baking!

Yeast - which one to choose and what is the difference?

Should I take dry or fresh yeast? What is the difference between bread baked with one of these two ingredients? Nothing at all. Bread in the oven with dry yeast is no different from bread made with a fresh counterpart.

There is only a difference in consistency and appearance of the two types of yeast. Also in the conditions and shelf life. Dry yeast is stored longer, the best conditions for them are sealed packaging. But fresh yeast needs air, but does not store them for long. In some cases, fresh yeast may be frozen, but only for a short time.

Dry and fresh yeast are interchangeable in any recipe - one tablespoon of dry yeast per 25 g of fresh.

Bread without yeast in the oven

This is a dietary and low-calorie version of home-baked bread. This bread at home in the oven is cooked partly like a rye loaf. But according to the same recipe, you can bake and - just replace the rye flour with wheat.

  2. Rinse the brazil nuts and toast them in a dry frying pan. Let cool and chop with a knife on a cutting board.
  3. Rinse raisins in warm water.
  4. Add an egg, 80 g of vegetable oil to kefir. Salt and sweeten. Whisk well. Add nuts and raisins. Pour in half the flour. Knead so that the structure of the mass is homogeneous. Then add the remaining flour and knead the dough with your hands until it becomes an elastic and soft lump. Try not to knead for a long time so that the dough is not tight.
  5. Set the dough aside in a bowl or bag for 30 minutes.
  6. Turn on the oven to the standard temperature for this type of dough, 180-200 ° C.
  7. Prepare It, brush it with oil and lay the dough. Immediately bake for 40-50 minutes.

black bread recipe

Be sure to write down the recipe and try to cook black bread in the oven according to our method.

Products for the recipe:

  • rye flour - 2 tbsp.;
  • filtered water - 1 tbsp.;
  • sourdough for bread - 2 tbsp. l.;
  • flower honey - 2 tsp;
  • vegetable oil - 2 tbsp. l.

Quick bread in the oven - recipe:

  1. Mix all the ingredients and knead the dough. Leave the homogeneous structure of the bun on the table for several hours. Just cover with cling film.
  2. Then move the dough into an oiled form and sprinkle the top of the kolobashka with water. Place in a preheated oven at 200°C. Bake 45 minutes.

In order for black bread at home in the oven to turn out to be of high quality, it is necessary to use sourdough. You can buy it in specialized grocery stores or prepare it yourself.

For rye bread, the sourdough recipe is as follows:

  • mix a glass of rye flour with a glass of sour kefir or yogurt;
  • cover the container (not plastic) with several layers of clean gauze and secure with tape or an elastic band;
  • leave at room temperature for a day;
  • add 50 g of rye flour;
  • stir and leave for a couple of hours to complete the fermentation process;
  • use as directed.

There are many other sourdough recipes for making bread dough. Some of them are based on cereals, others on sour milk. But they have something in common - the finished sourdough must be fermented. To give the dough a slight alcohol flavor - only such a base is considered the best for making koloboks of bread.

How to make cooking faster?

Less baking volume makes the cooking process faster.

Benign yeast rises quickly and speeds up cooking. For beginner housewives, it is better to try baking bread in the oven with dry yeast - such recipes are the simplest.

Process automation. That is, use electric assistant cars. For example:

  • grind additional components (seeds, nuts) in a blender or coffee grinder, and not by hand;
  • mix the dough with special kitchen mixers (they look like a table blender with a bowl);
  • use a slow cooker or bread maker to bake bread.

What is a bread maker and how does it work?

A bread maker is a desktop bread machine for use in a domestic kitchen. Its advantage is that you do not need to knead the dough, monitor its rise, proofing or baking. The machine will do everything itself. You need to add all the ingredients from the recipe for making bread to the bucket of the bread machine.

A very important rule! First, pour some vegetable oil on the mixing tool of the machine.

Further, you should adhere to the recommended requirements of a bread machine of a certain model. Basically, all bread machines work according to this principle - pour in a warm base liquid for the dough, lay in the rest of the ingredients, add yeast at the end. Close the lid of the unit and turn on the main program of work - it usually lasts three hours. During this time, the machine will mix all the ingredients, knead the dough, wait for it to rise and proof, start baking the dough and make soft bread. The hostess will only have to cool it on the wire rack.

Cooking bread in a slow cooker

Baking bread in a slow cooker is almost no different from recipes using the oven. The dough is prepared from the same ingredients and according to the same principles. But the baking process is slightly different:

  • put the dough in the multicooker bowl;
  • turn on the baking mode for one hour;
  • then turn the loaf over to the other side;
  • turn on the same mode for another 30 minutes.

Fragrant homemade bread is ready. Enjoy your meal!
