Unleavened bread: benefits and harms. How to bake yeast-free bread at home

Bread baked by yourself always turns out tastier, softer and more aromatic. Today we will tell you in detail how to make yeast-free healthy bread at home and surprise everyone with our abilities.

Recipe for yeast-free bread at home

Ingredients:

flour - 305 g;
low-fat kefir - 290 ml;
sugar and fine salt - 1 teaspoon each;
baking soda - a pinch.

Cooking

Sift flour into a bowl, add salt, baking soda and sugar. Next, gradually pour in the kefir and gently knead the soft airy dough. Wrap it in cling film and leave it for 35 minutes at room temperature. Then we form bread of any shape from yeast-free dough and bake in the oven, making small cuts on the surface with a knife. Readiness is checked with a wooden torch, which should come out completely dry.

Recipe for yeast-free bread in a bread machine

Ingredients:

flour - 305 g;
milk - 205 ml;
large egg - 2 pcs.;
- 1.5 teaspoons;
soda - a pinch;
butter - 15 g;
white sugar - 20 g.

Cooking

Before you bake yeast-free bread at home, carefully sift the flour on the table. After that, we throw soda, sugar, citric acid into it and mix well. Melt a piece of butter in a frying pan and cool until warm. Next, break the eggs into it and pour in the milk. Mix everything with a spoon until smooth, gradually pour in the dry mixture and knead with your hands plastic dough. We shift the composition into a bucket of a bread machine, install the “Yeast-Free Bread” program and press the “Start” button. After 45 minutes, carefully remove the finished product, cover with a towel and cool.

Recipe for rye yeast-free sourdough bread

Ingredients:

For sourdough:

rye flour - 115 g;
drinking water - 205 ml.

For test:

rye flour - 505 g;
drinking water - 85 ml;
strong tea leaves - 145 ml;
fine salt - 1 teaspoon;

Cooking

To prepare yeast-free bread at home according to this recipe, you need to be patient, but the result will certainly please you.

So, we begin the process of preparing the sourdough: mix 75 g of flour with 100 ml of boiled warm water until a thick mass is obtained, resembling fatty sour cream in consistency. Next, cover loosely with a towel and leave alone for about a day. The next day, we begin to fertilize the sourdough. To do this, for 3 days, add 75 g of rye flour to it daily and add 100 ml of warm water. We store the finished sourdough in a warm place and already on the 5th day you can proceed to baking bread.

We dilute the finished sourdough with warm water and pour a glass of pre-sifted rye flour. We knead the resulting dough, form a lump, wrap it in a film and put it in a warm place for 3 hours. After that, add the remaining flour to the dough, throw in sugar, salt and pour strong tea leaves. Knead with clean, wet hands to a soft but sticky dough. Cover it clean kitchen towel and leave for 1.5 hours.

We moisten the table with cold water, put the rested risen dough on it and form an even log. We coat the baking dish with butter and shift the workpiece. Now we melt the dough for 40 minutes, and then we send the rye bread to the preheated oven, setting the heating temperature to 195 degrees. Carefully remove the finished hot bread from the mold and moisten the top with a small amount of cold water to get a shiny beautiful crust.

For some reason, the media have recently taken up arms against yeast bread. At least a dozen programs “shout” about its harm and unnaturalness for the body, about the fact that yeast causes many diseases. One can argue with this. However, if you do not want to eat with yeast, you can make yeast-free bread. At home, this is even easier to do.
The Eco-Life website offers a photo master class for making yeast-free bread on kefir in the oven.

Ingredients for unleavened bread

Wheat flour - 300 gr + a little for mixing if necessary;
kefir (fat content is not important) - 300 ml;
salt, sugar, cumin - 1 teaspoon each;
soda - 0.5 teaspoon.

Cooking yeast-free bread on kefir in the oven

To begin with, we sift the flour so that it is “saturated” with air and becomes lush.

Add dry bulk products to the flour: salt, sugar, soda, mix everything.

Add cumin to this.

Now add kefir.

You can not pour soda right away, but pour it into kefir so that it “extinguishes” well.

We mix the ingredients.

If there is little flour (the dough is viscous, sticky, does not form) - add more flour very gradually while kneading so that the dough is not too tight, dense.

We form a "bun" with our hands.

We cover the finished ball of dough with a towel, let it stand for about an hour.

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees.

Before sending it to the oven, it remains to knead again and make cuts on top - not too deep so that the loaf bakes better. Yes, and for beauty :)

Spread on a baking sheet and lightly sprinkle with flour (this is necessary to get a delicious crispy crust on the bread).

We send it to the oven. After 20 minutes, reduce the temperature to 200 gr.
The total baking time is 45-50 minutes (depending on the characteristics of the oven).

The combination of starches and protein is the most difficult to digest and dangerous to health, so mixing nuts and seeds with cereals can be very tasty, but makes any recipe heavier.

Before starting, remember:

The combination of starches and protein is the most difficult for digestion and dangerous to health, so mixing nuts and seeds with cereals can be very tasty, but makes any recipe heavier (unlike bagasse or grated vegetables, fiber always helps digestion, enhances peristalsis, absorbs toxins and enriches any dish)

Sprouted cereals are always easier to digest than "dry", even after heat treatment (however, these can only be ground into "minced meat", and not into flour);

Sweet (dried fruits) do not mix well with starches, so it is better to add them minimally.

Recipes for homemade yeast-free bread

1. The simplest - unleavened cakes

Ingredients:

1 glass of water
- 2.5 cups of flour (better, of course, whole grain - or grind it yourself, ideally)
- 1.5 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
- vegetables - a little bell pepper, carrot cake from juice, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, herbs are also suitable.

Cooking:

Mix salt in water. Gradually pour the flour into the salt water in a thin stream.

We knead the dough. Then let the dough stand (rest) for 20-30 minutes.

Heat up the pan.

Roll out the cake thinly.

Dry the cake for a few seconds in a hot frying pan. In total, 10-12 cakes are obtained.

Ready cakes must be sprinkled with water (you can use a household sprayer), otherwise they will be crispy.

It is better to store cakes in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for no more than 3 days.

2. Very simple - a little kefir and salt + rye flour, according to your mood, you can add cumin, seeds, etc.

Sift the ground wheat (in a mill-type coffee grinder) through a fine sieve to make 3 cups of flour (or take ready-made whole grain flour - but it is worth remembering that it cannot be stored for a long time, so purchased - probably with additives!).

Then add a little salt (to taste), your favorite spices (you can coriander, cumin, etc.), 1/2 tablespoon of table soda, you can add ground seeds or nuts, and gradually pour in, while stirring the dough, whey from homemade cottage cheese, about a glass and a half and until a thick dough is obtained.

Mix well and bake in a cake tin.

Spread the dough on baking paper.

Bake for an hour in an oven preheated to 180-190 degrees.

Instead of whey, liquid cottage cheese and 2 eggs are suitable (preferably one yolk). The taste will be almost the same, kefir is also suitable (much better than baker's yeast, although kefir itself is also a yeast product (fermentation product of kefir fungus).

3. Based on Irish Soda Bread

250 gr whole wheat flour
250 gr rye flour
250 gr oatmeal
1/2 cup ground nuts
4 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
juice of 1 lemon
500-600 ml water

Preheat the oven to high heat, grease a baking sheet with oil and sprinkle with flour. Lay out the dough. During baking, make cuts on the crust.

Lemon juice and water can be replaced with whey, kefir, etc., you can add raisins, fried or raw onions, bell peppers, cumin, carrot juice cake, etc.

4. Potato cakes

Ingredients:

300 ml (one and a half cup) mashed potatoes (you can use water)
1 tsp salt
300 ml flour
1 egg (you can try to use only the yolk - so the recipe as a whole will turn out to be easier for digestion and less harmful, respectively).

Cooking:

Quickly knead the dough, divide into 10 parts and put on baking paper in the form of 10 thin (about 5 mm) cakes.Poke each with a fork, otherwise the cakes will rear up.

Bake at 250 C for about 13-15 minutes (should be lightly browned).

Cool, you can eat warm or cooled, very tasty with butter, sour cream and herbs.

5. Oatmeal

Ingredients:

600 ml (3 cups) oatmeal
250 ml flour (can be dark, whole grain, whole grain)
1.5 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
600 ml kefir

Cooking:

Knead the dough, let it brew for half an hour, then, in the same way as in the previous recipe, lay out and flatten the round cakes and bake at 250 C for about 15 minutes (you need to look to start to brown a little).

You can not give a round shape, but spread it on baking paper as it will turn out, poke it with a fork and conditionally cut it somewhere after 7 minutes, when the dough starts to set. And then, already taking it out of the oven, break it on a plate.

6. Quick Yeast-Free Pizza Dough

Ingredients:

2 tbsp flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1 tsp olive oil

Cooking:

1. Mix flour with salt.
2. Mix eggs in a bowl with warm milk and add olive oil.
3. Pour the resulting mixture into a bowl of flour in small portions, stirring constantly. When all the liquid is absorbed into the flour, start kneading the dough, from time to time sprinkle your hands with flour. Knead for 10 minutes until the dough becomes elastic.
4. Form a ball from the dough, wrap it in a damp towel and leave for 15 minutes.

Ingredients:

1.5 cups wheat flour
1.5 cups whole rye flour
about 1 glass of water
a pinch of salt.

If you prefer soft dough, then you will need kefir instead of water and a pinch of baking soda (first soda is added to kefir, infused for 5 minutes, then the mixture is poured into flour). Bake for 15 minutes and then another 15 with tomato paste and vegetables.

7. Rye bread on traditional yeast-free sourdough

Sourdough is prepared on some kind of acidic base (for example, brine). Warm brine, peeled rye flour, a little sugar for fermentation. Stir in the flour to thicken the cream. In a warm place, the starter will slowly rise. Several times it needs to be besieged. Each time it will rise faster.

After the starter is ready, put dough: warm water (the right amount), sourdough, salt, sugar (sourdoughs necessary for work), peeled rye flour. The density of the dough is like pancakes. It rises in a warm place for 4-5 hours, it can be laid down once. If the dough rises faster, it must be precipitated and held for 4 hours - this is the norm for rye bread.

A little wheat flour (~ 1/10 of the total amount), salt, sugar are added to the dough batch, and kneaded with peeled rye flour. The dough is light. After the dough has risen, without kneading, it is laid out in forms (1/2 of the volume of the form).

It is better to work with rye dough by wetting your hands in water. With a wet hand, smooth it in shape, put it in a warm place to approach.

Rye bread is baked in a hot oven for 1 - 1.5 hours. After baking, the crust is moistened with water. You can’t cut rye bread right away, it must cool. The readiness of the bread is checked by squeezing the lower and upper crusts: if the crumb between them straightens quickly, then the bread is baked well.

The first baking may be unsuccessful, but each time the sourdough will gain strength, and the dough will rise quickly. A little dough or a piece of dough is left for the next baking, stored in the refrigerator.

On the eve, in the evening, you need to update the starter: add a little water (you can cold) and mix in rye flour. Until the morning it will rise (~ 9-12 hours) and you can put the dough (see above).

Recently, we are increasingly confronted with disputes about the benefits and harms of such a necessary product for us as bread. Of particular doubt is the presence of yeast in its composition: they say that it is harmful to the body, and does not add beauty, and makes digestion difficult. Therefore, today we will learn how to cook yeast-free bread in various ways, and the oven will help us with this.

Features of yeast-free bread

As the name implies, this bread is made without the use of baker's yeast. The dough is kneaded on the basis of curdled milk or kefir, brines with the addition of soda, which ensures fermentation in an acidic environment. Even more often, special starter cultures are used. It is these products that raise the dough and increase it in volume, due to which the bread becomes soft, elastic.

Fans of a healthy lifestyle categorically do not welcome the presence of live yeast in their diet. And such baking is really very useful. Bread contains cellulose, which has a beneficial effect on peristalsis - you will get rid of the feeling of heaviness in the stomach after eating and normalize metabolism.

Yeast-free bread is really very useful

Note! The low acidity of yeast-free bread is beneficial for those who have problems with the gastrointestinal tract: gastritis or ulcers. Vitamins of group B and PP contained in this product will relieve you of troubles with the skin of the face, hair and nails.

In addition, home-made yeast-free bread lasts much longer than regular store-bought bread. Of course, if it is not eaten as soon as it is taken out of the oven (most likely, it will be so, I assure you).

Required Ingredients

As in any baking, when making yeast-free bread, the main ingredient is flour. And depending on the recipe, it is very important to choose its type: rye, wheat, corn, buckwheat, barley, bran. Carefully follow the recommendations of the recipe: sometimes using, for example, wheat flour instead of rye flour can spoil the finished product.

For yeast-free bread, flour of any cereal crops is used.

Since live yeast is not used, plain water will not work for the dough either. Instead, fermented milk products or brines are used, to which soda is added. Also, yeast-free bread is prepared on sourdough. Below we will tell you how to do it right. If you decide to bake yeast-free bread all the time, leaven should always be at hand.

Salt and sugar are essential products for the dough. But in this case, they play only a taste role. Sugar is involved in the formation of the dough only in tandem with yeast.

Very often, yeast-free bread is supplemented with bran, whole grains, malt, seaweed and other products. These additives increase the benefits of bread for our body by an order of magnitude.

Depending on the recipe, other products will be added to the dough: eggs, butter, milk, etc. And now, as promised, we will tell you about the preparation of the sourdough.

"Eternal" sourdough

There are a lot of options for starters, for every taste. We suggest you start with the simplest, but most effective. It will require:

300 g flour (preferably rye);
300 g of water.

Day 1. Combine water with flour in a deep bowl or pan, stir well until the consistency of thick sour cream. Cover with a piece of damp cloth, put in a place where it is very warm, there are no drafts. The workpiece should ferment during the day. Stir occasionally and watch for small bubbles to form.
Day 2 Sourdough needs food. Add 100 g of flour and pour in enough water so that the consistency returns to the previous one. Cover the workpiece again and return to the same warm place for a day. Remember to stir and watch for bubbles.
Day 3 Now you can see with the naked eye that the starter is working. It increased in size and was covered with bubbles. Feed her for the last time (as in the last paragraph) and place her in heat again. Watch from time to time: You need to watch out for the moment when the starter grows to 2 times its previous volume. At this point, the mass must be divided in half. One part can be used immediately - to cook dough for bread on it. Place the other half in a jar, cover with a lid and refrigerate. When necessary, take half of it, feed it again and put it in heat.

Sourdough should always be at your fingertips

That's the whole secret of the simplest sourdough, which will help you for a long time in making delicious and healthy bread.

Step-by-step recipes for making homemade bread without yeast in the oven

Think yeast-free bread is monotonous and boring? But no! There are a lot of recipes for this product, and if you also apply your imagination, life will not be enough to try everything. We have selected for you several common, simple and interesting ways of making such bread.

Classic recipe

Loaf of white unleavened bread

A very simple way to bake delicious sourdough bread with a standard set of products:

600 g wheat flour;
250 g of water;
3 tablespoons of vegetable oil;
2 tablespoons of sugar;
2 teaspoons of salt;
7 tablespoons of sourdough.

In a suitable bowl, combine the sifted flour, salt and sugar. Enter vegetable oil and mix with your hands, rubbing. Enter the starter into the resulting mixture.
Be sure to sift the flour before adding to the dough.
Stirring constantly, add a glass of water to the dough so that it begins to lag behind the palms. Cover with a clean cloth and leave in a warm place for several hours. The dough needs time to rise well (at least 2 times larger in volume). You can leave it for 2 hours in a warm water bath.
knead the dough
When the dough rises, punch it down well and carefully place it into the mold. It should be deep, with a good margin up, because the dough will still rise. Leave it to stand for some more time and then boldly send the form into a preheated oven for 20 minutes at 180 degrees.
Let the dough rise before putting it in the oven

To make the crust on the bread shiny, coat the top of the loaf with vegetable oil and put it in the oven for another 5-10 minutes.
