The taste and aroma of freshly baked homemade bread is difficult to compare with ready-made baked goods. But it takes so long to make yeast dough that it's easier to buy a ready-made loaf at the store. There are recipes that allow you to quickly and almost effortlessly bake fragrant homemade bread with aromatic herbs. The secret to speed is simple: instead of yeast, you need to use thick dark beer. There is no need to wait and crush the dough several times, just mix the ingredients and send the form to the oven.
It is necessary
- -wheat flour-400 grams;
- - whole grain flour-100 grams;
- -cane sugar-1/2 tablespoon;
- - baking powder for dough-15 grams;
- - dry basil, marjoram (or other herbs to taste) - 4 teaspoons;
- - dark unfiltered beer - 330 ml;
- -salt on the tip of a teaspoon;
- -melted butter-3 tablespoons.
Instructions
Step 1
To obtain fluffy, airy bread, the flour must be sieved before kneading. This kind of simple action will help you bake real tasty bread, not hard brick.
Sift the two flours and mix together.
Pour flour into a deep bowl, add baking powder, salt and herbs. Mix everything thoroughly.
Step 2
Dissolve sugar in beer. Gently pour the beer into a bowl of flour and start stirring the dough.
The mixture will begin to bubble and the malt will smell deliciously in the kitchen. This is how it should be.
Step 3
Knead the dough carefully. You don't need to knead for a long time, the ingredients have become a homogeneous mass, and that's enough. If the dough sticks to your hands, you can add a little flour. And if the mass has become dense, add more beer.
Roll the dough into a ball, cover with a towel and leave for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Put the dough into a baking dish to form a loaf. You can make cruciform incisions on top.
It should be borne in mind that the dough will work a little, so you should not fill out the form to the very top.
Step 5
Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Place the bread pan in it and bake for about 35-45 minutes. The baking time depends on the characteristics of the oven.
When the top of the bread is covered with a hard crust, you need to take out the mold and pour the melted butter over the loaf. This will make the crust very crispy and delicious.
Step 6
Remove the finished bread from the oven, gently remove it from the mold and leave on the wire rack for about 15 minutes.
Then you can enjoy the amazing taste of hot homemade bread, which did not take more than an hour to cook.
