How Bread is Made
Almost everyone eats bread daily, especially for breakfast. Bread
making is not complicated task. You only need flour, water, yeast, sugar,
salt, oil, butter and an oven. (Materials)
Choosing good flour is the first step in making bread. There are two
kinds of flour, soft and hard. Hard flour, made of winter wheat, is a
better choice for making bread because it produces bread that has a
better texture and taste.
Then, lukewarm water, yeast, sugar, and salt are mixed with the flour to
make dough. Yeast is a microscopic organism that is capable of
producing carbon dioxide. It can make the dough rise or expand. Both
sugar and salt give flavor to the bread so that it tastes nice. They,
however, have different effects on yeast. After that, oil (such as olive oil,
corn oil, peanut oil) and butter are added because they are essential to
make the bread tender. After mixing all the ingredients, the dough is sent
to the oven. Then, wait the dough until expands, take it from the oven.
Finally, ready to serve.
