Benefits of Ovenless Yeast Bread
Many of us do not even think about what is part of the bread bought in stores almost every day. But it is no more useful in it than in stone.
To reduce production costs, factories engaged in the manufacture of bakery products actively use a variety of powders, flavor enhancers, and chemicals.
Keeping track of this is easy.
How much time can a purchased female pewter stand on a table before it becomes stained or moldy?
What does it taste like if you try the next day?
The answers will not please us. Perhaps. That is why it is not a pity to throw such bread away or feed it to the birds in the park.
But our ancestors, who always made bread with their own hands, carefully treated each piece.
The reasons why we usually don't bother baking at home are commonplace. It takes time, effort, money.
But on the other hand, a freshly baked culinary masterpiece flies off the table in the blink of an eye, which is proof of its excellent taste.
Also, baking on our own, we know what ingredients the product has inside.
Accordingly, such bread is useful in any diet, even if you play sports and especially watch your diet.

And the negative properties? They are not at all!
Homemade bread is healthy, nutritious and has an excellent taste, so feel free to take as a rule its daily (or at least weekly) preparation.

A feature of this method is the need to infuse the main ingredient from 5 to 7 days.
Not very convenient, is it? But if you are not afraid of the deadlines, and you still decide to try, we offer you a recipe.
Knead the dough from whey, two kinds of flour and bran.
Do not forget about sugar, spices, and salt to taste. If desired, you can use cumin, flax, and coriander. Let it brew until morning.
Preheat the oven, place the dough on a pan or baking sheet, and bake for 45–60 minutes at 180 ° C. Wrap the finished loaf with foil and towels so that the bottom of the product does not remain moist.
You can use it after complete cooling.

In the second: day, the procedure is repeated in the same proportions.
On the third day, you should do the same and wait until bubbles appear on the surface of the mixture, indicating the onset of fermentation.
When the bubbles finally begin to form, the simple procedure is repeated, and the serum is left for 4 to 12 hours.
Then we knead the dough, adding flour, spices, and various sweets to the sourdough: caraway seeds, nuts, flax, wheat, bran, oats, etc. We bake for 40-60 minutes.
The temperature should be 200 ° C.
Sourdough bread
Recipes of yeast-free bread in a sourdough oven are, of course, much more complicated in their technology than similar ones, but without the use of whey.
To change this a bit, we offer you a small life hack.

By changing the composition of the whey, you can bake not only rye but also white yeast-free bread in the oven, as well as use it for any dietary baking.

Then pour the finished mixture onto a baking sheet or in a mold and put in the oven for one hour. The temperature should not exceed 30 ° C.
After this time, we changed the temperature mode to 150 ° C and set aside for another hour.
We take out the finished bread from the oven and leave.
The scorcher must be infused for another 60–70 minutes, during which time all excess moisture will come out of the loaf.
Kefir bread

We have already considered one of the options above; now, we will talk about the test with a "surprise."
To prepare it, you should warm a glass of kefir to room temperature and pour it into a container along with half a teaspoon of soda.
Salt, sugar, and a "surprise" are added to a glass of wheat flour and one glass of rye, which include dried dill, parsley, basil, garlic, and other spices you like.
Mixed dry ingredients are poured into the liquid, and the dough is kneaded. It should be insisted for about ten minutes.
