Make his own bread

Produce its own bread! Everyone dreams to have always a good bread in the morning or during a meal. Living in a hostel in New Zealand, I had the pleasure to learn a lot of vegetarian and vegan recipes. Here is a to produce his own bread.

Above all, you must choose precisely its ingredients. Indeed, you can not use any flour. It is necessary to know what one wants to produce before you put the hands in the dough.

As usual, this recipe is the base. You can then add and improve it to your desires.

Choose his flour

To choose his bread flour, it is more than advice to take a flour from T65. The higher the number the higher more flour will provide a full loaf. So if you bought a T55 flour that will be first prize for white (and not very good) bread flour.

I suggest more a T110 after everyone desires and based on the bread that you wanted to do. In addition to make bread, it is necessary to have a flour with gluten, called bread flour. I advise you to start to make your bread wheat flour, spelt and rye. The other flours, to mix them with a schedulable flour or add gluten.

Attention, it is possible that food moths wish to participate in the meal, they will go into the flour. To avoid this, you can either put the flour in the refrigerator, or put the Bay or use a repellent to scare them away.
