Easy Homemade Bread
Table of Contents
Ingredients:
-
- 10g sugar
- 10g dry yeast
- 400ml warm milk
-
- 30ml olive oil
- 40g yogurt
- 600g flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 8g salt
Directions:
-
- In a large bowl, mix together 10g of sugar and 10g of dry yeast with 400ml of warm milk. Let it sit for a few minutes until the yeast activates.
-
- Add 30ml of olive oil and 40g of yogurt to the yeast mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are combined.
- Gradually add 600g of flour and 8g of salt to the mixture. Stir with a spoon until the dough starts to come together. The amount of flour may vary, so add it gradually.
- Once the dough has come together, transfer it to a floured surface and knead by hand until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. The dough should be soft and not sticky.
-
- Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Transfer it to a floured surface and divide it into two equal parts.
- Roll each portion into a ball. Take one dough ball and roll it out to a 30 cm (12 inches) diameter circle. The dough should be neither too thin nor too thick.
-
- Use a food mold or a soup plate to cut the dough into desired shapes. Collect the remaining dough, knead lightly, and set aside.
- Arrange the dough pieces on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
- Let the dough rest for 5 minutes. Preheat your oven to 250°C (482°F).
