Homemade Bread Recipe in a Pan Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 45 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 15 minutes Number of servings: 12 slices Homemade bread is a symbol of comfort and culinary tradition. Its inviting aroma and crunchy crust make this recipe a must-have in any kitchen. I will present you with a simple and quick recipe for making delicious homemade bread using basic ingredients and accessible techniques. Necessary ingredients: - 1 kg of wheat flour (ideally type 650 for better texture) - 2 packets of dry yeast (approximately 14 g) - 500 ml warm water (not hot, to avoid killing the yeast) - 2 tablespoons of olive oil (optional, for extra flavor) - 2 tablespoons of sugar (to activate the yeast) - 1 teaspoon of salt Preparing the dough: 1. In a small pot, bring 50 ml of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of flour and stir constantly until the mixture becomes a thick paste. This mixture is called roux and will help the bread become fluffier. Once thickened, remove the pot from heat and let it cool. 2. In a large bowl, combine the remaining flour (950 g) with the dry yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients well to combine. 3. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the cooled roux. Then, gradually pour in warm water, mixing with a wooden spatula or your hands until the dough starts to form. 4. Add the olive oil and knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a few tablespoons of flour, but be careful not to overdo it. 5. Once the dough is well kneaded, shape it into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover it with a damp towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size. Baking the bread: 1. Preheat the oven to 220°C and prepare a baking tray greased with a little oil or lined with parchment paper. 2. After the dough has risen, remove it from the bowl and gently punch it down to release the air. Shape it into a loaf or a ball and place it in the tray. 3. Cover again and let it rise for another 30 minutes. 4. Before placing the bread in the oven, you can make a few shallow cuts on the surface for a nice appearance and to help it expand during baking. 5. Bake the bread for 30-45 minutes or until it is golden and sounds hollow when tapped lightly on the bottom. Serving suggestions: Let the bread cool completely on a rack before slicing. You can serve this simple homemade bread with butter, or use it to make delicious sandwiches. An interesting variation is to add herbs (such as rosemary or oregano) to the dough for extra flavor. Variations: For a more interesting texture, you can experiment by adding sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or olives to the dough. You can also replace part of the flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier bread. This homemade bread recipe in a pan is not only simple but also very satisfying. With a little patience and a few basic ingredients, you will achieve fresh bread, perfect for any meal. Enjoy every slice and savor the homey aroma it will bring!
