Homemade black bread

Description

The recipe won't take much time. To bake black bread, you'll need malt, which is poured with boiling water (steeped), then mixed with yeast and flour. You'll need two types of flour: rye and wheat. The amount of salt can be adjusted to taste. My first attempts used 1 teaspoon of salt, but the bread turned out too bland; 3 teaspoons made it too salty, while 2 teaspoons were just right. I use measuring cups, leveling off mounds with a knife. My cups hold 250 ml. Check out the recipe, try the bread, and leave comments. It can be served with tea or coffee.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Step 1

    Prepare the necessary ingredients for the bread as listed. Let's get started!

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Step 2

    Boil the kettle with water. Place the malt into a glass or cup (250 ml capacity) and pour boiling water over it. Stir and let it cool down to a temperature of 38–40 degrees (this should be comfortably warm, but not hot). In another glass, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.

    Step 3

    Step 3

    In a large dry bowl, combine the two types of flour and salt. Mix well.

    Step 4

    Step 4

    Make a depression in the center, pour in the activated yeast with sugar, malt.

  5. 5

    Step 5

    Step 5

    During the dough kneading process, add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

  6. 6

    Step 6

    Step 6

    Knead the dough until you get a smooth, elastic ball. The dough should not stick to your hands, but shouldn't be too stiff either. Cover it with plastic wrap or a towel and let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour.

  7. 7

    Step 7

    Step 7

    After 1 hour, the dough will increase in size by 2-3 times.

  8. 8

    Step 8

    Step 8

    Press down the dough, knead again—no need to add flour, just lightly flour the surface a couple of times during the process. Divide the dough into two parts and shape into buns. Alternatively, you can leave the dough as one large loaf, but I don't have a pan of the right size. By the way, grease the pan with vegetable oil, place the dough inside, cover with plastic wrap or a towel, and let it rise for 30 minutes.

  9. 9

    Step 9

    Step 9

    The dough has risen well. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and bake the bread for 45-50 minutes; if it's one large loaf, then for 1 hour.
