Photo Series #35: Food Photography | Simple Homemade Bread + Recipe
Heyho steemians! What a sunny day! Entry to #foodphotography. Simple homemade bread + Recipe
My first time entering food photography, I wanna bring something different. Have you ever appreciated a freshly home made bread? How does it feel?
The photo is not a super elaborate and beautiful food, nor the recipe is super complex. It's just a super simple and tasty bread.
I've learned this recipe from a sailor. On a sail boat, things need to be simple, practical and yet very good, otherwise there's no point. When I first experienced how I could produce my own bread I've stopped buying it at the supermarket, less industrialized food for half the price.
Less talking, more action.
Simple Homemade Bread + Recipe
You are going to need:
- 500g Wheat flour - Type 1
- Natural dry yeast
- Salt
- Water
- Utensils (pan and spoon)
Steps:
Extra Steps:
Obs.: I don't have pictures for this part since I've just prepared the dough and I wanted to post. But don't worry, it's easy.
After you wait at least 12 hours you'll notice that the dough expanded quite a lot, covering almost all the pan. This is what makes the bread so soft and delicious.
There are some small steps before you can bake it.
- Add a little more flour to it, so it'll not stick to your hands nor to the pan.
- With your hand you need to kneed the dough, just enough to make it more compact and to give it a little form.
- Now take a cloth, put some flour on it, put the dough ball in there, wrap it and leave for another 1 hour.
- After the one hour you can put the ball inside a pan (the one you'll use to bake).
- Make two cuts crossing each other on top of the dough.
- Let it bake in the oven for 20 min (time will depend on your oven, check until somebody says "it smells like bread" xD or when it starts to get a golden colour. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN TO CHECK, it'll loose heat.
Tips:
I prefer to use a normal pan to bake, just make sure you took the handles off or they'll burn.
I prefer the bread round, but a square form is optional, just make sure you are not using a pan that is too big, or the bread will be thin.
Hope you guys enjoyed this simple recipe, it takes less then 10 minutes to put everything together and there's no need to knead. The secret is in the rest time.
I like to prepare it during the evening to bake the other day during the morning, nothing like a freshly made bread, right?

Yummm 🍞 bread!
Sounds like a awesome recipe!
Not sure if I've told you but I like
the way you write, the humor and info :-)
Awesome, thank you @shasta!
Your should try to make this bread, it's quite easy. Or you can wait till I decide to go to Alaska by bike, may take some time though hahaha
I will give it a try forsure! I do like making
bread, homemade tastes so good and nice
fresh warm bread sure melts in your mouth!
Never know we might meet you halfway
someday! lol
This looks really good. I make sourdough (i have posted a really simple recipe if you are interested) but i would like to try some other easy breads nd this looks practical to make if you were travelling. Thanks for sharing.
Your are welcome @riverflows. Thanks for commenting!
Your have some delicious recipes there, definetely gonna try! Now that I know the basics I can start upgrading my breads hahaha
I'd like to try to make bread on a clay oven, have you ever tried?
No, I haven't. I do make my bread in a dutch oven in the oven and have been looking for a long time at how to do it in a firepit. I guess you just bury it in coals and hope for the best! I have also made ovens out of clay, as in with mud and straw which make amazing pizza/bread ovens - have you done that? Maybe I'll light a fire this weekend - I have 5 acres of land to do it in so I dont have an excuse except 'time'! Let me know if you try - maybe we can race each other to it as a challenge!
And I'm really glad that my recipe for basic sourdough might get you started on sourdough! I always find it incredible that just flour and water can make bread!
I've had to leave your profile hahaha It's making me hungry!
