How to make Bread

Bread is a staple food that is made from flour, water, yeast, sugar, salt, and oil. There are many variations of bread, such as whole wheat, sourdough, rye, and gluten-free. Bread can be baked in a loaf pan, shaped into rolls, or flattened into flatbread.

To make bread, you need to follow these basic steps:

  1. Proof the yeast by dissolving it in warm water with a pinch of sugar. Wait until it becomes foamy and bubbly. This shows that the yeast is active and ready to make the dough rise.
  2. Mix the flour, salt, sugar, and oil in a large bowl or a stand mixer. Add the yeast mixture and stir to form a soft dough. You may need to adjust the amount of flour or water depending on the humidity and altitude of your location.
  3. Knead the dough by hand or with a dough hook for about 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic. The dough should be slightly sticky, but not too wet or dry.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about an hour or more.
  5. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf, rolls, or flatbread. Place it on a baking sheet or in a loaf pan and cover it again. Let it rise for another 30 minutes or until it puffs up.
  6. Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25 to 35 minutes, or until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped. Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.
