Baking bread

The introduction

Hello everyone, I hope, that you are all doing just fine!

In this article I want to tell you about baking bread with that new thing, which my aunt uses a lot and she is pretty satisfied with that baking thing. You know, people in Georgia really love eating too much bread and they just love preparing it and they usually prepare lots of bread and eat lots of bread, however, nowadays many people just don’t have enough time to prepare the bread, that they like, so that they usually buy it anywhere in the bakeries or in those supermarkets, where they go for shopping. However, I think, that you will agree with me, that the most delicious bread is when you bake it yourself,especially in Tone, however, nowadays people don’t really have Tones in their homes and they just have those baking things, where you can put some flour and salt or something like that and you can have the bread baked like that.

Anyways, let me tell you about the baking bread in the oven and baking bread in the bread machine, which is a very simple way to bake bread for those, who love baking bread of their own and not buying them in the supermarkets.

Ingredients:

• Water, 3 cups
• All purpose flour, 4 cups
• Salt, 1 teaspoon
• Sugar, 1 teaspoon
• Active dry yeast, 1 teaspoon

Preparation process

So, usually people would bake the bread by doing all the things themselves and then they would have the dough into the baking pan or something like that and put it in the oven and then just baked it. However, time has changed and many things have changed, and there’s this thing called the bread machine, which is a very simple way of preparing the bread, just without any other disturbances and the attention and things like that. And it doesn’t really cost too much. However, now I will tell you about the preparation of the bread just the way those people used to prepare, first.

Well, usually you take a large bowl and add the flour to it. Then, you make  a small hole in the middle of the flour and you just add the water there. Usually it’s recommended to first just dissolve the salt into the water and then add the water to the flour, so that this way, there won’t be those small pieces of salt in your way. And since you have to add the sugar, too, you can dissolve the sugar into the water, also, and then add the water to the flour.

You can add the active dry yeast to the flour, too, however, many people don’t do that at once. I mean, they usually have some warm water in another bowl or something like that and then they sprinkle the active dry yeast on the water. They can also add some sugar to it, so that the yeast will become active pretty fast. After 3 minutes or so, you can add that yeast water to the flour.

After that, people would usually make the dough out of those ingredients with mixing them together by their hands and then, they would have the dough into a bowl or something like that wrapped into some wrappings and some warm towels, and they would put it nearby the heat, so that the yeast would make the dough get doubled in size quicklier. It would need about 2 hours, I guess, for the dough to get doubled in sizeand then they could bake the bread.

They would usually put the dough into a baking pan greased with oil and put it into the oven on 180 degrees Celsius for about half an hour or even more, checking occasionally, so that they would know, when the bread was ready. And it would be ready, when it had some golden brown colour.

Well, to be honest, it was not that easy to prepare the bread after all, because it needed too much timeand effort and you couldn’t really do something else, rather than wait for the bread to be ready. However, now that we can have this small bread machine, we can easily prepare the bread. Of course, it still needs time, however, you can go somewhere else and do some other things, because it will do its job on its own and it won’t need your attention all the time.

So that, you can take the small baking pan of the bread machine and put some flour into it and then add the salt and the sugar and a small amount of that active dry yeast and then just add the water and put it back into the bread machine and turn it for 3 hours and that’s just it. You can have some pretty nice bread after three hours and without any effort at all!

Well, have fun and enjoy your cooking!
