4-Ingredient Homemade Bread 🍞✨


 

  1. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
  2. Let it rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Step 4: Shape and Proof

  1. Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Shape it into a loaf or desired shape (e.g., round boule or rolls).
  2. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a greased loaf pan. Cover again and let it rise for another 30–40 minutes.

Step 5: Bake

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Bake the bread for 25–30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

  1. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
  2. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite spreads.
