Homemade yeast-free bread with milk sourdough. Recipe

Lately, we are increasingly faced with debates about the benefits and harms of such a necessary product for us as bread. The presence of yeast in its composition raises particular doubts: they say that it is harmful to the body, does not add beauty, and makes digestion difficult. Therefore, today we will learn how to prepare yeast-free bread in various ways, and the oven will help us with this.

Features of yeast-free bread

As the name implies, this bread is made without the use of baker's yeast. The dough is kneaded using yogurt or kefir, brines with the addition of soda, which ensures fermentation in an acidic environment. Even more often, special starters are used. It is these products that lift the dough and increase its volume, due to which the bread becomes soft and elastic.

Fans of a healthy lifestyle categorically do not welcome the presence of live yeast in their diet. And such baking is really very healthy. Bread contains cellulose, which has a beneficial effect on peristalsis - you will get rid of the feeling of heaviness in the stomach after eating and normalize metabolism.

Yeast-free bread is really very healthy

Note! The low acidity of yeast-free bread is beneficial for those who have problems with the gastrointestinal tract: gastritis or ulcers. Vitamins B and PP contained in this product will relieve you of troubles with your facial skin, hair and nails.

In addition, yeast-free bread, prepared independently, is stored much longer than usual, bought in a store. Of course, if they don’t eat it as soon as they take it out of the oven (most likely, this will happen, I assure you).

Required Ingredients

As with any baking, when making yeast-free bread, the main ingredient is flour. And depending on the recipe, it is very important to choose its type: rye, wheat, corn, buckwheat, barley, bran. Carefully follow the recipe recommendations: sometimes using, for example, wheat flour instead of rye flour can spoil the finished product.

For yeast-free bread, use flour of any cereal crops

Since live yeast is not used, plain water will not work for the dough. Instead, fermented milk products or brines are used, to which soda is added. Yeast-free bread is also prepared with sourdough. Below we will tell you how to do it correctly. If you decide to bake yeast-free bread all the time, you should always have the starter on hand.

Salt and sugar are essential ingredients for the dough. But in this case they only play a taste role. Sugar participates in the formation of dough only when paired with yeast.

Very often, yeast-free bread is supplemented with bran, whole grains, malt, seaweed and other products. These additives greatly increase the benefits of bread for our body.

Depending on the recipe, other products will be added to the dough: eggs, butter, milk, etc. And now, as promised, we will tell you about making sourdough.

"Eternal" leaven

There are a lot of sourdough options to suit every taste. We suggest you start with the simplest but most effective one. It will require:

300 g flour (preferably rye);
300 g of water.

Day 1. Combine water and flour in a deep bowl or saucepan, stir well until the consistency of thick sour cream. Cover with a piece of damp cloth and place in a place where it is very warm and there are no drafts. The preparation should ferment for 24 hours. Stir it from time to time and watch when small bubbles begin to appear.
Day 2. Sourdough needs feeding. Add 100 g of flour and pour in enough water so that the consistency returns to its previous state. Cover the workpiece again and return it to the same warm place for a day. Remember to stir and watch for bubbles.
Day 3. Now you can see with the naked eye that the starter is working. It increased in size and became covered with bubbles. Feed her one last time (as in the previous point) and place her in warmth again. Check from time to time: You need not to miss the moment when the starter grows to 2 times its previous volume. At this point, the mass needs to be divided in half. You can immediately use one part - prepare bread dough on it. Place the other half in a jar, cover with a lid with holes and place in the refrigerator. When necessary, take half of it, feed it again and put it in a warm place.

You should always have starter on hand

That’s the whole secret of the simplest sourdough starter, which will help you for a long time in making tasty and healthy bread.

Step-by-step recipes for making homemade bread without yeast in the oven

Do you think yeast-free bread is monotonous and boring? But no! There are a lot of recipes for this product, and if you also use your imagination, your life will not be enough to try everything. We have selected for you several common, simple and interesting ways to prepare such bread.

Classic recipe

Loaf of white unleavened bread

A very simple way to bake delicious sourdough bread with a standard set of products:

600 g wheat flour;
250 g water;
3 tablespoons vegetable oil;
2 tablespoons sugar;
2 teaspoons salt;
7 tablespoons of sourdough.

In a suitable sized bowl, combine the sifted flour, salt and sugar. Add vegetable oil and mix with your hands, rubbing. Add the starter into the resulting mixture.
Be sure to sift the flour before adding it to the dough.
Stirring constantly, add a glass of water to the dough until it begins to pull away from your palms. Cover with a clean cloth and leave in a warm place for several hours. The dough needs time to rise well (at least 2 times larger in volume). You can leave it for 2 hours in a warm water bath.
Knead the dough
When the dough has risen, knead it well and carefully place it in the mold. It should be deep, with a good margin at the top, because the dough will still rise. Leave to stand for a while and then safely place the mold in a preheated oven for 20 minutes at 180 degrees.
Let the dough rise before placing in the oven.

To make the crust on the bread shiny, coat the top of the loaf with vegetable oil and put it in the oven for another 5-10 minutes.

White whey bread

This bread is not only very tasty, but also filling. It is made according to a recipe similar to those used by our great-great-grandmothers. You will need the following products:

3 cups wheat flour;
550 ml whey;
2 teaspoons sugar;
2 tablespoons vegetable oil;
2 tablespoons sesame seeds;
2 teaspoons salt;
¼ teaspoon of soda;
9 tablespoons of sourdough.

Please note that flour, whey, butter, as well as the dishes in which you will mix the dough must be warm. To warm up the flour, sift it into a suitable dry container and place in a warm (up to 60 degrees) oven.

Whey bread has been prepared since ancient times

Take a deep bowl or pan, pour 1 cup of wheat flour into it.
Pour wheat flour into the bowl
Place 9 tablespoons of sourdough on top.
Add starter
Now add the remaining 2 cups of flour, salt, sugar and soda. Pour in 250 ml of whey, preheating it, and vegetable oil.
Add other products
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is thick and sticky. To work with it further, you need to thoroughly lubricate your hands with sunflower oil.
Knead the dough
You can bake bread in special forms, and if you don’t have them, then simply form a loaf or small buns with your hands. Cover the molds or baking sheet with parchment paper, greased with vegetable oil, and spread the dough into equal portions. Cover with a towel and place in a warm place for a couple of hours. During this time, the dough should at least double in volume.
Line the molds or baking sheet with parchment paper
Keep an eye on the dough so it doesn't run away. It is light, quick to rise, and can easily “make legs,” as people say. Even if this happened, don't be upset. Using a sharp knife, carefully trim off any excess dough that has escaped from the mold and make a flat cake out of it. You can bake it too.
Moisten the top of the future bread with water and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Or caraway seeds, flax, sunflower seeds, anise - to your taste. Place in an oven preheated to 200 degrees. Place a tray with water on the bottom tier to prevent the bread from burning and saturate it with moisture during baking. Cooking time - 50 minutes.
You can sprinkle sesame or cumin on top of the bread.
If you like a firm crust, remove the bread immediately after it is baked. You can leave the loaf inside until the oven has cooled completely, then the crust will be soft and tender.
To ensure a firm and crispy crust, remove the bread from the oven immediately.

Look how lively and elastic the bread is. Sourdough paired with whey makes it unusually aromatic, loose, and soft.

Bread is our little brothers. This is what Russian cuisine says, and you can’t argue with it. Without bread, lunch on the table is not lunch. Since ancient times, every housewife has had her own signature bread recipe. Our grandmothers conjured dough over dough, kneading sourdough dough, but today you can make quick and tasty bread using active dry yeast.

I want to offer an unusual bread recipe, which in its shape and method of preparation will be more like a pie. Pie bread made with sour milk and dry yeast is suitable for tea or instead of regular bread for lunch.

To prepare, take the ingredients from the list.

The sour milk should be warm. I had a week's worth of rustic, which was stored in the refrigerator. I put it in the room near the radiator 30 minutes before preparing the dough.

Add flour to milk.

Instant dry yeast, sugar and salt.

Let's knead the dough, which is very similar in consistency to thick pancake dough. No oil is used in this recipe. Let the dough rest in a warm place for 30 minutes.

Pour the dough into a deep round mold. Place in a preheated oven.

Bake at 220°C for at least 45 minutes. Check the readiness of the bread with a toothpick. If you pierce the middle and look at the toothpick, it will be dry. Pie-bread with sour milk is ready! It springs out of the mold with ease when flipped over.

Pour a quarter cup of warm water into a small bowl and add the yeast. Stir and let sit for 10 minutes to allow the yeast to come to life. In a large bowl, whisk together sour milk (yogurt, kefir or yogurt will also work), honey, sugar, salt, apple cider vinegar and 1 ½ tbsp. l. melted butter. Then add yeast and half a glass of warm water and... Stir until smooth.

Sift the flour on top and knead the dough. Knead it thoroughly until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a deep bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, it is important to keep it damp, and leave to “rest” for one hour in a warm place. The dough should rise and approximately double in volume.

Punch down the risen dough with your fists to release the air. Form a loaf and place it in a pre-greased pan. Cover again with a damp towel and leave for another 30-40 minutes to rise. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Gently grease the top of the risen bread with ½ tbsp. l. melted butter and make three shallow cuts with a sharp knife.

I will cook the bread with homemade sour milk. Olive oil will ennoble and improve the quality of the dough. The finished bread comes out fluffy, soft and aromatic, however, like any homemade baked goods, it will bring comfort and warmth into your home. To prepare bread with olive oil, we will need flour, water, sour milk (preferably homemade), salt, sugar and dry yeast. A different amount of flour may be used than stated in the list of ingredients. It all depends on the quality of the flour, so when you start making bread, you don’t need to pour out all the flour at once, it’s better to add it gradually. You yourself will understand when it is enough - when the dough stops sticking to your hands.

Ingredients for homemade bread

Sour milk - 150 mg.
Water - 150 mg.
Flour - 500 gr.
Salt - 1 teaspoon.
Sugar - 1 teaspoon.
Dry yeast - 1 teaspoon.
Olive oil - ; st. spoon

Step-by-step recipe - Sour milk bread

In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients - 2 cups flour, salt, sugar and yeast.

Mix sour milk with water and heat slightly. Slightly. The liquid should not be hot. Room temperature is sufficient. Pour liquid into dry ingredients. Mix everything with a spoon and add flour. Mix.

When it is already difficult to work with a spoon, the dough needs to be unloaded onto the work surface. Add flour in parts and knead the dough.

The dough still sticks to your hands and at this moment you need to pour in olive oil. We knead further and now we feel whether more flour is needed or not. If needed, add it; if not, the process is completed.

Now you need to grease the bowl with olive oil (this will help the dough rise better) and lay out the dough. Cover with film or a lid to prevent the dough from drying out and place in a warm place for 40-50 minutes.

During this time, the dough will increase in volume. You can take it out of the bowl and knead it in your hands, or you can hit it with your fist several times right in the bowl and the dough will settle. Then take it out.

And put it in the form in which you will bake the bread. Pre-grease the mold with oil. Sprinkle the top with a little flour and place in a warm place for 30-40 minutes.

Home baking is gaining more and more popularity, and the ability to bake is becoming a matter of prestige. Among the many recipes, it’s easy to find one that fully suits your taste preferences.

The addition of sour milk makes the bread pulp soft and porous. But we must remember that excess oil will prevent the yeast from “working.”

Additions of herbs, favorite spices, sunflower seeds, crushed nuts allow you to endlessly diversify the range of flavors. The aroma of freshly baked bread will make any kitchen cozy, and moments spent with your family unforgettable.

Ingredients

220 ml sour milk
460 g wheat flour
1.5 tbsp. l. Sahara
1 tsp. salt
1.5 tsp. dried herbs
0.5 tsp. turmeric
3 tbsp. l. vegetable oil
1.5 tsp. dry instant yeast

Preparation

1. Measure the sour milk indicated in the layout into the bowl of the bread machine; you can mix it with water, but the output should be exactly 22 ml of liquid.

2. Pour wheat flour into the bowl of the bread machine, after sifting it through a sieve. Depending on the model of your bread machine, the order in which you load the ingredients into the bowl may vary.

3. Now pour table salt and sugar into the bowl according to the recipe.

4. The next step is to pour turmeric and dried herbs into the bread maker.

5. Make a hole in the pile of dry ingredients at the very top. Carefully pour dry yeast there, it must be fresh, otherwise the bread may not rise. It is important that the yeast does not combine with the liquid before kneading begins. If your bread machine pours dry ingredients first and then liquid, then the yeast should be poured at the very beginning, at the bottom of the bowl.
