Home-made bread recipes shared with love!

Instructions: In a large bowl, mix yeast, salt, olive oil and lukewarm water; let them stand until bubbles form on surface. Pour flour into the mixture and beat until gets smooth. Stir in enough flour to form a soft dough. Cover the bowl and let rise in a warm place until doubled, for 2-3 hours. Place the dough in a non-stick pot. Again cover and let it rise for 1 hour. Once doubled, pour some sesame and sunflower seeds on top and put it in the oven. Bake at 250-300 degree until getting a golden brown bread, 30-35 minutes.

Instructions: I often follow the same recipes for all my breads, the trick of different tastes comes to play before you put the dough in the oven. Once you have your dough, you can pour your seeds of interests as topping. Here, I used sesame and flax seeds.

Ingredients: 6 cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup bob mills' 8 grain package, 1 teaspoon active dry yeast, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 cups lukewarm water, 3 tablespoon sesame

How do you store homemade bread?

You can store homemade bread in a plastic bag for maximum freshness. If you don't finish it in a few days' time, you can also freeze bread. Just wrap it up in plastic and put in the freezer. It'll keep for a few months. If your bread has gone a bit dry and stale, you can use it to make homemade croutons, French toast or bread pudding.

Please send me an email if you have any feedback or you feel like sharing the photos of your homemade bread. I will be always happy to hear from new people and their ideas.
