Object of the Week #58: Bread

in Ukraine on Steemlast year

Friends, we all like to eat bread. Especially, many people like to eat bread with gravy such as chicken, fish, salmon, milk fish. Also, I also like to eat bread with coconut sambol.

Today, I'm not talking about an opportunity to sit neatly at a dining table and eat bread. In the evening, an uncle from our side goes to sell bread with a box attached to his bicycle. The bread is really delicious. Went. Because in the evening, in our village, we play green ball at the lake field. It was a rainy day. We went to play that day, but there were only two of us. The others did not come because of the rainy weather. We waited for them to come.

While waiting like that, I saw the bread seller uncle taking bread and going along the lake embankment on a bicycle. We didn't have any curry to eat the bread. Because we were in the lake field. Anyway, Kurumba picked two coconuts from a nearby garden. Then we ate bread with the Kurumba coconut. It was really a different experience. The bread was much tastier with coconut than we thought.

I will teach you how to make bread step by step. First, there are some main ingredients needed to make bread. I will mention them.

01
Flour
02
yeast
03
salt
04
water
Step01

In a regular mixing bowl, add flour, yeast and salt, then slowly add water and mix well.

Step02

Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic, and leave it in a warm place for about an hour, covering the top of the bowl well.

Step03

Shape the dough into a loaf and place it on a greased tray. Let the dough rise again for another 30 minutes.

Step04

Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Ok friends, we have finished making the bread. Now let the bread cool down before slicing and serving. Because of the heated oven, the bread is very hot. Be careful with your hands, take it out of the oven and keep it outside until it cools down.

This is a basic recipe and it can be modified by adding different ingredients like honey, herbs or cheese to the dough.

The quality of bread can be determined by several factors.

TasteGood bread should have a pleasant taste, with a balance of sweet, salty and yeasty.
TextureGood bread should have a well-developed crumb (inside the bread) and a crisp, crunchy crust. The batter should not be dry or thick, but should be moist and tender.
AppearanceA good loaf should have an attractive appearance, with a well-formed shape and a golden-brown crust.
FreshnessGood bread should be made with fresh ingredients and consumed within a few days of baking for best taste and texture.
Nutritional valueGood bread should be made from whole grains and contain nutritious ingredients such as seeds, nuts and fruits.
Artisan BreadUsing natural fermentation and traditional baking methods can add complexity and flavor to bread.

Remember that good bread is a matter of personal preference, and what one person likes may not be the same as another.
