A little about homemade bread
Bread baked at home with your own hands with love and care will always be tastier and healthier than a loaf bought in a store. In the old days, when our grandmothers were young, in the villages bread was baked in Russian ovens. They put the dough in the evening, and early in the morning they baked round rolls for the whole week. It was believed that the girl who makes the most fragrant and lush bread is a very good housewife. Such a person was willingly taken as a wife.
This time-consuming process has now become much easier. A delicious and fragrant bun can be baked in the oven right at home. It does not take much time and will cost much less than ready-made bread from the store.
Always use warm, purified water to knead the dough. The yeast will not start working in cold water, the dough will not rise, and the resulting bread will not bake.
The taste of bread, in the preparation of which raw yeast is used, is strikingly different from baking with dry yeast. Such dough rises faster, the rolls are lush and aromatic.
The baking blank should be soft, elastic and not stick to your hands. Bread can be baked without yeast by replacing it with baking soda, whey, or baking powder.
