Nowadays, less and less housewives bake homemade bread in the oven, but not so long ago, fresh homemade loaves could be found in almost every home. Despite the fact that this process is considered long and laborious, the result in the form of a fragrant bun with a crispy golden crust is worth spending time on this.

The dough takes the longest time to make this pastry. Since, in most cases, it is yeasty, it takes time for it to "fit", that is, to increase slightly in size. If you are patient and wait, the pastries will be lush and tender. The bread itself does not take too long to cook in the oven. Therefore, you can take several recipes into service, and, if necessary, bring them to life, bringing pleasure to yourself and your loved ones.

To bake bread in the oven, you will need half a kilo of wheat flour, dry yeast (half a bag), half a teaspoon of sugar and s alt, one and a half glasses of water, a raw chicken egg and vegetable oil (a tablespoon is enough). First, the dough is prepared. Forthis yeast is dissolved in 100 grams of warm water, sugar and s alt are also poured here. Next, flour is placed in the mixture so that the consistency of the solution resembles sour cream. The dough is left in a warm place for half an hour. These manipulations are necessary for the dough to "rise" faster.

The remaining water is slightly warmed up, an egg is put into it, butter is poured, the dough is poured. Flour is added to the resulting mixture, the dough is kneaded until it sticks well from the hands. Then it is left for several hours. The dough that has risen 2 times is mixed again, divided into small parts, which are laid out in greased forms.

It is necessary to pay attention that the bread in the oven will increase slightly during baking, so the dough should be placed in the bowl about half the height. The dish is cooked at an average temperature for about half an hour. After the bread is baked, it is covered with a towel, allowed to cool slightly, and then cut and served.

It must be said that if the bread in the oven was baked by yourself, then it can be eaten for several days with proper storage (in a cool place). And the taste of such baking will differ for the better from the store counterpart. Top bread can be sprinkled with sesame seeds or poppy seeds, greased with egg yolk.

You can take the following recipe for this dish. For dough, a glass of flour and 25 grams of live yeast are placed in a glass and a half of warm water. The mixture is stirred and left tohour. A frothy cap should form on the surface of the dough. A tablespoon of honey is mixed with a glass of warm water. The resulting liquid is poured into the dough. Half a kilogram of flour is also put here and the dough is kneaded. Then put a pinch of s alt. The dough is placed in a warm place for 2 hours, as a result of which it should increase in size. After that, it is divided into three parts, each of which is given a rectangular, slightly oblong shape.

This bread is baked in an oven heated to 250 degrees for about 10 minutes. After that, the temperature is reduced to 200, and the dish is left for a while until it becomes golden on top.
