The bread cooking process is not necessarily long and boring. Here is a recipe, following which you’ll have a fresh, flavored bread within minutes. Well, not exactly within minutes but in an hour or so, solid!

Nevertheless, it doesn’t make it any easier. All you need to do is to mix the dough, let it rise in ‘special conditions’ and put to the oven.

How to Make Homemade Bread in One Hour: Step-by-Step Instructions🔪

Mix 560 g (1,2 lb) of flour, 7 g (0,25 oz) of extra yeast, 1 tbsp of sugar, 1,5 tsp of salt in the mixer bowl, or in a regular middle-sized bowl. Mix with a whisk.

Add 250 ml (8,8 oz) of water and using a spatula, mix the dough. Now add the rest 100 ml (3,6 oz) of water and 1 tsp of wine vinegar, and make a stretchy dough. It’ll take you about 7-10 minutes.

If you’re using a mixer, just place a spatula nozzle, mix the dry ingredients, then add water and let work for a minute.

Then place a hook-shaped nozzle, add the rest of the water and let work for another 4-5 minutes. When the walls of the bowl are clean and all the dough is on the hook, this means it’s ready.

A plastic bowl, that you can put to the microwave oven, grease with oil, and put there a dough.

Cover the bowl with a wet towel (just soak it under the running water and then squeeze), and with a dry one on top. Put to the microwave oven.

Turn the microwave oven on the maximum capacity for about 40 seconds. Leave the bowl inside for 5-10 minutes. Now turn it on again for 40 seconds. Leave the dough for 25 minutes more.

Meanwhile, warm up the oven to 220 degrees.

If you have an iron baking mold or frying pan – put it to the oven and leave to warm up. If no, don’t get upset, take a regular stainless casserole and do the same, but do it in 10 minutes before baking the bread. Obviously, there should be no plastic parts on it.

After 25 minutes, the dough should extend 2-2,5 times. Take the mold or casserole out of the oven, slightly grease the bottom with oil, and put there a dough.

Make a cross-cut on top. Cover with a lid or foil and put it to the oven. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the lid or foil and bake for another 10 minutes until golden.

Let the casserole cool down for 10-15 minutes, then take the bread out and cool on the baking grate.
