The Secret to Perfect Bread — You’ll Never Buy It Again! 💛

🥖 Perfect Homemade Bread Recipe (Crispy, Fluffy & Easy to Make) If you’ve ever dreamed of making bakery-style bread at home, this easy homemade bread recipe is exactly what you need! With just a few simple ingredients, you’ll get a crispy crust and soft, airy crumb — no bread machine required. 🧂 Ingredients 300 g all-purpose flour (or bread flour for extra chewiness) 200 ml lukewarm water 5 g instant yeast (or active dry yeast) 1 tsp salt 1 tsp sugar 1 tsp olive oil In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add yeast, sugar, olive oil, and lukewarm water. Stir until a rough dough forms. Let the dough rest for 20 minutes, then do a stretch and fold (pull one edge of the dough and fold over the center). Repeat this process 4 times, resting 20 minutes between each fold. Cover and refrigerate overnight (8–12 hours) for slow fermentation — this gives incredible flavor and texture. The next day, shape the dough into a roll and let it proof for 30–45 minutes at room temperature. Preheat oven to 200°C. Place a small pan of water in the oven to create steam for a crusty exterior. Bake for 10 minutes with steam, then another 25–35 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Cool slightly before slicing — and enjoy your perfect homemade bread! 🥰 🍞 Tips for the Best Homemade Bread Use bread flour for a more elastic texture. A long, cold fermentation adds flavor and airiness. Don’t skip the steam step — it’s the secret to that bakery-style crust! #breadrecipe #homemade #easyrecipe
