HOMEMADE BREAD RECIPE

Ah, bread... with cheese, butter, jam... honey or chocolate spread... My mum gave me this recipe a while ago and I'm now addicted! Are you ready?

I have made about 3kg of bread, I will give you the recipe of 1kg (more or less).

In a bowl, place the following ingredients;

- 375g of flour ( I use organic wholegrain flour, but you can use any flour )

- 5,5g of dry yeast ( I just put a tablespoon )

- 5 cl of milk ( I use vegetal milk like almond, hazelnut, soya, rice... whatever you want! )

- 1 teaspoon of salt

- 25 cl of warm water

Mix everything. Dust with flour. Cover with a cloth. Leave the bowl close to a heat source (outside in the sun, close to a warm oven, on a radiator, in a sink full of hot water...) so that the dough can raise. After an hour or so, it should double in volume as you can see above.

Mix the dough for a bit and add some flour if it sticks to the bowl. Put it in a baking tray with some flour at the bottom. Pre-heat the oven for 10 minutes, then cook the bread for 30 minutes at 200°C. It should look like this, make sure it's well cooked and let it cool down before slicing it.

Be greedy

- You can add anything you like to this recipe! Be creative! Sunflower seeds, almonds, hazelnuts, raisins, herbs, fruits...

Be creative

- You can give any shape to the dough, draw on it with a fork/knife and decorate it with delicious ingredients for a very personalised loaf.

Save time

- Why not try doubling or tripling the quantities? Wrap your bread in a cloth and it'll keep for a few days, if it dries you can always toast it.

Enjoy !
