Hello buddies!

Today im gonna teach you how to make homemade bread, y a lot better than the one you buy at the supermarket yum yum, its so easy to make and you'll have fun doing it too, this is my personal recipe.

Here is the lsit of ingredients you will need

Flour 350 grams
instant dry yeast 6 grams
sugar
6 grams of salt
Vegetal oil 10 ml
180ml Water
First step, you have to put 180ml of WARM water in the bowl (use warm water dont use hot water that would kill the yeast) put 2 spoonfuls of sugar and 2 spoonfuls of vegetal oil into the warm water and then throw the dry yeast into the water, mix it, use your fingers, and let the magic happens, haha, you'll see the effervescence of the yeast, you have to let it rest for about 10 minutes, it would make yeast surface on the water.

Okay now, you have to mix the six grams of salt with the flour in another bowl (never mix the salt with the yeast, that will mess up all, after waiting 15 minutes throw the flour into the blowl with the yeast and now you just have to begin kneading your bread strongly, the more you knead the better your bread would be.ok know, the texture of the dough would change as long you keep kneading (dont be scared, you're not making a mess if the dough is sticky trow some flour in the surface you're using to knead.

Now that the dough has consistency (It should not stick in our fingers, if it keeps sticky use a little mor flour and knead) take a clean bowl, spread some vegetal oil in it, and put the dough ball into it, cover the bowl wih a clingfilm and let the dough rest for about 1 or 2 hour (the more you let it rest, the better your bread will taste, but 1 hour is okay)

Passed the 1 hour, you will remove the clingfilm from the bowl, you'll see that the dough ball is inflated, you would take the doughball and put it into a surface with flour spread on it, press the dough but don't knead it's just to take out de CO2 of the leavened process, now make a cylinder and cut the dough in two pieces, make two or four dough balls put it in the baking sheet and you can use a sharp knife to make some small cuts on the surface of it.
