Amazing Bread Recipes
Due to the coronavirus epidemic, we are closed to our homes as a whole country. When this was the case, we started looking for an occupation to do ourselves at home. Since we could not go out, we found the solution to produce our own products at home during this period when we placed our orders over the phone or on the internet. Our kitchen has been the part of our house where we spend the most time, both distracting ourselves and making sure that the things we eat are healthy. In this article, we will give you a bread recipe for those who want healthy alternatives instead of buying them from outside.

Cover the container and leave it at room temperature for at least 12 hours. Before starting to make bread, break off a piece of yeast and throw it into the water. If it is sinking, it is not ready.

At the end of half an hour, you do the folding process. You can think of it as folding a piece of paper into four. You lift the dough from one corner at a time and put it on top of the other half. You do this 3 or 5 times every half hour. If you want to make folding more comfortable, you can put oil on your hands.

At the end of the folding, take the dough into a floured pan and close the lid. Place the bowl filled with hot water and the dough pot in the oven and leave for an hour.
