At the beginning of the year, and at the dawn of this blog, I had the noble intention to start making my own bread - regularly. Then the oven debacle with the notorious muffins happened, and my dream of delicious homemade bread flew out the window. As mentioned previously I no longer reside in that kitchen and therefore fresh, crunchy bread is back on the table! Literally.
I started with something simple and fool proof: mix the flour, some seeds and the yeast. Add lukewarm water and some oil (don't forget a pinch of salt - which I did - and maybe some sugar). Let it stand, somewhere warm, and then dive into the therapeutic process of kneading the dough for 15-ish minutes, mold into the form you want and then let it stand again, covered. Pop in the oven (250'C) until golden brown.
simple
easy
tasty :)
That is how I was taught to make bread - years ago now, in a land somewhat far from here. The process is familiar and makes one feel at home in a new kitchen. There will be more adventurous loafs of bread to come!
