Do you make your bread sometimes?

I made my first bread Ferrari today.

In order:

Mix 500g flour 500g multi-grain and whole wheat flour in a food processor. Add a teaspoon of salt and a pinch of sugar.
Add 40g yeast (all bakers sell) with 50cl of water.
And rotate the food processor for 20 minutes.
Then pour the dough on a floured surface and knead it again by hand to give it a round shape.
Once formed the ball, put in a container covered with transparent paper to prevent it from drying up and it can not dry.
Two or three hours later, when the dough has doubled or tripled in size, the pay back on the worktop and knead again to evacuate the air in it.
Then separate the dough into pieces more or less equal and give everyone the form of bread. On the picture you see that I have a metallic form for 4 loaves, but it can be done without it.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and introduce a recipent with water to keep a good moisture during cooking.
Meanwhile watch your bread rise, double in volume.
Once your oven temperature, scarify your loaves with a razor blade in some deep and water them with rain water and put on the bottom of the oven.
Five minutes later add next to your bread a half glass of water to create steam that will moisturize your breads and again five minutes later.

40 minutes later and breads are cooked, enjoy!

Ferrari for bread, I added the badge on the hood and put Ferrari 4 tomatoes as a wheel to my Formula 1.

That looks really good! I like the crunchy crust and the huge air spaces.

 

very nice!

 

That's awesome Theodore! Beautiful bread. I like to "roll my own" as well,
but it's a "cold winter day" thing. Love how it makes the house smell.

I attempted to make some one day, I failed. The yeast just wouldn't activate. That was a long time ago though.

My Mom makes roti, which is like a bread

 

I love roti! Isn't it also like chapati?

Your yeast might have been old.... it's a living thing - if it's dead, it won't work.

It's the same thing.

Parathas are really good, especially stuffed with potatoes or paneer (cheese)!

The yeast was a weird issue, I went to the store and bought another packet. It still didn't work, I think the problem was just me.

 

Tres bien fait. J'aime le sent du pain au four. pour moi, j'aime bien epis au romarin et thyme. quand ja habite en Pairs, chaque jour ja' chercher du pain au chez Chennizot, et marcher a Harry's bar pour manger petit dejunier... 2 oeufs, et un bloody Mary... cest fantastique!

 

Merci Spirot tes compliments me vont droit au coeur!

Thank you Spirot your compliments go straight to my heart!
And since I know that the other day when I have the pleasure to see you, you will eat of my bread, my foie gras and wine of others ....

 

Theodore, that looks absolutely delicious! The bread form alone tells us you're a master at your trade!

The recipe seems to be suspiciously easy, the secret being that you use 3 different kinds of wheat?

 

Thank you very much Florian. I actually took several years to pass my bread. There are different techniques for different results. The bread that I made above is composed of a meal in which there is a grain and wheat flour that contains wheat and a small amount of rye. For this reason, the crumb is not very breathable. This is a bread for breakfast.
If I wanted to make a bread crumb with big holes, I would use white flour without rye. I do sometimes.
I also make chapatis, which are Indian breads that are very easy to do. Here is a recipe I found on YouTube:

What type of yeast - IDY, ADY or do you grow your own?

 

It's yeast, such as bakers. The pictures below.
I use 42 grams to 1 kilo of flour.
I previously diluted in 35 ounces of warm water and 3 or 4 tablespoons of flour. I'm waiting for the mixture foams and I poured into my flour. Then that's what I explained at the beginning.
I tried to make my own yeast fermenting the flour in a jar but it takes several days and I do not want to wait. This should be better but hey!
