Tips for Baking Bread

Start as early as you can, it will take aprox. 1.5 hours for the dough to double its size.
Make sure your water is the correct temperature, ideally 40-46 deg C (105 deg F to 115 deg F).
If the water is too warm it will kill the yeast, too cold and the yeast will not rise correctly.

Don't try to rush things, wait for the dough to rise properly before putting it in the oven.


Kneading the Dough

Dust your work area with flour, place the dough on the surface and dust with more flour.

Start from the part of the dough closest to you and use the heel of your hands to push down and away from you.
Turn the dough 90% and take the far end of the dough and fold it in towards you.
Push it down and away from you. Repeat this process until the dough feels smooth and stretchy and no longer sticks to your fingers.

Home Made Bread

 

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb strong [bread] flour, either
1 white or wholemeal
1 [wholewheat]
1 as preferred
1/2 package instant dried yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 large pinch salt
1 warm water to mix



 

Preparation

Mix flour, yeast, salt and sugar, then add enough water to make a
fairly firm dough. Knead vigorously until dough is smooth and
elastic - you can do this in a food processor, but it is very
therapeutic to do it by hand! Place in a clean bowl, cover, and leave
in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled in size. Knead
again, then place on a greased, floured oven-proof plate. Cover, if
possible with an oven- proof bowl, and leave for ten-fifteen minutes.

Bake in a hot oven (mark 7, 200 C, 425 F) for about 40 minutes, or
until it sounds hollow when tapped underneath. This doesn't keep well
as it has no fat, but that is seldom a problem!
