Yeast-free bread, the benefits and harms of which will be described in detail below, is a simple and quick baking. To purchase such a product in a store is almost impossible. After all, all manufacturers, one way or another, add yeast to their product. Therefore, to obtain real yeast-free bread, we suggest using old Russian recipes. Applying them at home, you are able to make very tasty and healthy pastries, without making special efforts for this.
Yeast-free bread: benefits and harms of the product
Experts say that with frequent use of fermentation products, the human body begins to suffer from rapid fatigue. He increases susceptibility to adverse environmental effects. In other words, among lovers of lush and ruddy products, immunity very often decreases, which contributes to a quick illness. Therefore, among all home baking, the safest is yeast-free bread. The benefits and harms of this product is the main topic of discussion for many experts.
Store yeast bread does not really contain baker's yeast. But to get lush baked goods, manufacturers add special yeast cultures or the so-called wild yeast to it.
Very often, to obtain such bread, they use dough obtained by processing hop cones or willow twigs. However, researchers argue that wild yeast is no different from ordinary baker's yeast.
So what is the difference between yeast and yeast-free bread? The benefits and harms of these products are exactly the same. In this regard, experienced chefs recommend preparing real yeast-free bread, making it without any kind of yeast (including hop cones and willow twigs), and using only fresh dough.
Making yeast-free bread at home
As mentioned above, real yeast-free bread should be prepared without the use of any kind of yeast. Therefore, for the starter culture of such baking, we decided to use whole grain flour. But first things first.
So, to independently make homemade yeast-free bread, we need:
- Hercules fast - 1 full glass;
- whole grain flour - 1 full glass;
- table soda - incomplete dessert spoon (optional);
- table salt - ½ small spoon;
- liquid honey - 2 large spoons;
- sunflower oil (take without aroma) - a large spoon;
- warm fat milk - 1.6 cups.
Hercules dough preparation
Before baking yeast-free bread, you need to knead the base. To do this, warm fat milk is poured into a deep container, and then combined with a spoon of honey and whole grain flour. Both ingredients are mixed until thick sour cream, covered with a towel and left in a warm place (about 5 hours, but can be longer). During this time, the flour mass should ferment a little. If this does not happen, then do not worry. To get lush pastries, you can add table soda to it.
Thus, after the ingredients are kept warm, they spread the hercules chopped in the coffee grinder, the remnants of liquid honey, sunflower oil and table salt. After mixing the products, they get a pretty cool, but soft dough. It is immediately used for its intended purpose.
The baking process in the oven
Ovenless bread in the oven is baked quite quickly. For this, the dough is laid out in a mold greased with sunflower oil and sent to a heated cabinet. In it, the product is cooked for 45-57 minutes at a temperature of 197 degrees. During this time, yeast-free bread rises, becomes lush, ruddy and tasty.
We serve homemade bread to the table
Homemade bread without the use of baking or any other yeast is much tastier than what is sold in the store. Moreover, such baking is much more useful. After all, it has long been proved by scientists that yeast, which is used to make bread and other products, contribute to the appearance and development of cancer cells. Therefore, we recommend baking bread exclusively at home.
Serving such a product to the table can be done both in a hot state and in an already cooled one. As a rule, bread with oatmeal and honey is presented to guests along with first or second courses.
Cooking yeast-free kefir bread
Sour-milk drink can serve as an excellent sourdough for making homemade bread. After all, it is not for nothing that this product is often used for baking various buns, pancakes and other sweets.
So, to make a real yeast-free bread at home, you must purchase in advance:
- whole grain flour - about 450 g;
- baking soda - a dessert spoon;
- table salt - a dessert spoon;
- fresh high-fat kefir - about 420 ml;
- sesame seeds - 2 large spoons;
- small egg - 1 pc.;
- pumpkin seeds - 2 large spoons.
Cooking basics
Kefir unleavened bread is prepared much faster than the previous one. After all, for kneading the base there is no need to withstand the dough for a long time in a warm place.
To make homemade bread, fresh high-fat kefir is poured into a metal container and heated slightly over low heat. After this, the fermented milk drink is removed from the stove and quenched with baking soda. When the product stops foaming, table salt, sesame and pumpkin seeds, and whole grain flour are added to it. All ingredients are mixed until a uniform and soft dough is obtained. It is covered with a napkin and left aside for 15-19 minutes.
The process of forming products and their baking in the oven
After the dough has rested, it is divided into several pieces (3 or 4), and then round shapes are molded. Having laid the products on a sheet, they are greased with a beaten chicken egg. This procedure will contribute to the fact that home-made yeast-free bread will become rosy and acquire an appetizing glossy crust. In this form, the formed products are immediately sent to a heated cabinet.
Ovenless yeast bread should be cooked for 47 minutes at a temperature not exceeding 200 degrees. During this time, homemade cakes will noticeably increase in size, become lush, tasty and very aromatic.
Serving homemade cakes to the table
After the yeast-free kefir bread is baked in the oven, it is immediately removed and presented to the guests. As a rule, such a product is served to the table with hot tea. Use it with butter, a slice of cheese or jam.
If you want a sweeter pastry, you can add a little granulated sugar or honey to the dough.
