  • Perfect Homemade fluffy bread

    Perfect Homemade fluffy bread

    Ingredients:

    Bread flour: 2 ½ cups (320 grams)
    Water: ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons (210 ml), lukewarm
    Brewer’s yeast: 1 tsp. (3 grams) or dry yeast: ½ tsp. (2 grams)
    Sugar: 1 tsp.
    Salt: 1 tsp.

    Instructions:

    Activate the Yeast:
    In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in the lukewarm water. Make sure the water is not too hot, as it can kill the yeast. Let this mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy, indicating that the yeast is activated.

    Prepare the Dough:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour and salt. Create a well in the center of the flour and pour in the yeast mixture.
    Gradually mix the flour with the water, using a spatula or your hands, until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

    Knead the Dough:
    Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes. The goal is to develop the gluten, which will give the bread its structure and elasticity.
    The dough should become smooth and elastic by the end of kneading.

    First Rise:
    Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

    Shape the Dough:
    After the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Turn it out onto a floured surface and shape it into a loaf.
    You can shape it into a round loaf, a baguette-style loaf, or even place it into a bread tin for a more uniform shape.

    Second Rise:
    Place the shaped dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or into a greased loaf tin. Cover it again with a damp cloth and let it rise for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until it has puffed up.

    Preheat the Oven:
    While the dough is doing its second rise, preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). If you want a crispy crust, place a shallow pan of water on the bottom of the oven to create steam while the bread bakes.

    Bake the Bread:
    Once the dough has risen, make a few shallow slashes on the surface with a sharp knife or bread lame. This helps the bread expand while baking.
    Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
    If using a bread tin, the baking time may extend slightly to ensure the bread is fully cooked through.

    Cool the Bread:
    Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack. It’s important to let the bread cool before slicing, as this allows the interior to set properly.

    Nutritional Facts (per slice, approximately 1/12th of the loaf):
    Calories: 80 kcal
    Carbohydrates: 16g
    Protein: 3g
    Fat: 0.5g
    Fiber: 1g
    Sugar: 1g
    Sodium: 150mg

    Storage Tips:
    Room Temperature: Store the bread in an airtight container or a bread bag at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. Avoid storing bread in the fridge, as it can dry out faster.
    Freezing: If you want to store the bread for longer, you can freeze it. Once cooled, slice the loaf and place the slices in a freezer-safe bag. Bread can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply toast the slices or warm them in the oven.

    Cooking Tips:
    Use Lukewarm Water: The water should be warm to the touch but not hot, around 38°C (100°F), to help the yeast activate.
    Measure Ingredients Accurately: Use a kitchen scale to measure the flour for the best results, as too much flour can make the bread dense.
    Kneading the Dough: If the dough feels too sticky, add a bit more flour, but avoid adding too much as it can make the bread heavy.
    Crust Variations: For a softer crust, you can brush the bread with melted butter as soon as it comes out of the oven. For a crunchier crust, add the pan of water to the oven as mentioned earlier.
    Flavor Additions: This basic bread recipe can be easily customized. You can add herbs like rosemary, thyme, or garlic powder for extra flavor. Seeds like sesame, flax, or sunflower can also be sprinkled on top for added texture.

    Ingredients

    To bake this mouth-watering apple cake, you will need:

    • Fat for the mold
    • 150 g (2/3 cup) margarine or butter, softened
    • 120 g (1/2 cup + 1 tbsp) sugar
    • 1/2 package baking powder (about 1 1/2 teaspoons)
    • 220 g (1 3/4 cups) flour
    • 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) apples, peeled and cored
    • 3 eggs
    • Butter for spreading
    • Cinnamon, to taste
    Nutrition Information

    This recipe serves approximately 12-14 people. The nutritional information per serving is as follows:

    • Calories: 220
    • Protein: 3g
    • Carbohydrates: 30g
    • Dietary Fiber: 2g
    • Sugars: 15g

    • Saturated Fat: 5g
    • Cholesterol: 45mg
    • Sodium: 150mg
    Step-by-Step Instructions
    1. Prepare the Springform Pan

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 26cm (10-inch) springform pan with butter or margarine to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.

    2. Make the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together 150 g (2/3 cup) of softened margarine or butter and 120 g (1/2 cup + 1 tbsp) of sugar until light and fluffy. Add the 3 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

    See also  Baklava with walnut

    Sift together 220 g (1 3/4 cups) of flour and 1/2 package (about 1 1/2 teaspoons) of baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a smooth batter forms.

    3. Prepare the Apples

    Peel, core, and cut the 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) apples into large pieces, such as eighths, depending on their size. Fold the apple pieces into the batter, ensuring they are well coated.

    4. Bake the Cake

    Pour the apple-batter mixture into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top as best as you can. The batter will be thick and the apples will make it look uneven, but that’s perfectly fine.

    Place the pan on the bottom rack of the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour.

    5. Add Butter and Cinnamon-Sugar

    After 45 minutes, open the oven and spread butter generously over the top of the cake. Sprinkle with plenty of sugar or a cinnamon-sugar mixture to your taste.

    6. Finish Baking

    Continue baking for the remaining 15 minutes. If the cake starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with a piece of baking paper to prevent burning.

    7. Cool and Serve

    Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack. This cake is best served warm, and it pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream.

    Tips for the Perfect Apple Cake
    • Use a variety of apples: Different apple varieties can add depth of flavor and texture to the cake.
    • Don’t worry about the batter-to-apple ratio: The batter serves mainly to hold the apples together, ensuring a juicy and flavorful cake.
    • Check for doneness: Insert a skewer into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs, the cake is done.

    Serve this cake as a delightful dessert after meals or as a sweet treat with coffee or tea. Its moist, apple-filled goodness is sure to impress family and friends alike.
