It took me the simplest foods and a little time to make toaster bread.
I have been baking ordinary bread at home for a long time. But I usually go to the store for a toaster. Now, during the quarantine, for some reason, toaster bread from nearby stores disappeared.
I had to tinker a bit and cook it myself. I didn't expect, but the homemade version turned out to be much tastier than the store one.
Step by step recipe on how to make toaster bread at home
Ingredients:
- Flour 440 g (3 cups)
- Water 175 g (¾ glass)
- Milk 125 g (½ cup)
- Butter 42 g (3 tablespoons)
- Sugar 21 g (1 tablespoon)
- Dry yeast 9 g (slightly less than 1 sachet)
- Salt 8 g (1 ½ teaspoons)
I mix water and milk in a bowl and send it to the microwave for 30 seconds. It is not necessary to heat too much, the liquid should be approximately 37-38 ° C. Add yeast, stir, cover with a towel and leave the dough to rise for 10-15 minutes.
In the mixer bowl, I mix all the dry ingredients. When the dough has risen, I add it to the flour and begin to knead the dough. When using a stand mixer, I use a hook attachment.
It took me 2-3 minutes to knead the dough at medium mixer speed. If you knead the dough with your hands, it will take 2 times longer. When the dough has gathered on the hook, add room temperature butter and mix with a mixer until combined.
I form the dough into a ball, cover with cling film and put it in a cold oven for 1-1.5 hours for fermentation. The finished dough should increase in volume 2-3 times.
I roll the fermented dough into a layer according to the size of the mold. I roll the dough into a roll and put it in a greased form. Cover with the same form and leave for 45 minutes to proof.
After proofing, the dough should double in size and “crawl out” outside the mold. I send it to bake in an oven preheated to 175 ° C for 40 minutes. I check the readiness by the golden brown crust.
I let the bread cool for 5-10 minutes, remove it from the mold and let it cool completely on the wire rack. Can be sliced and served. I wonder what kind of bread is cut and what kind of crumb is it? IN
The toaster bread is light as a cloud. Outside there is a thin crunchy crust, and inside is a delicate crumb. By the way, after pressing the bread perfectly restores its shape.
