Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake homemade Darnitsa bread? Prepare and measure all the necessary ingredients.

Step 2

Step 2
In a small container, mix dry yeast with sugar and pour 30 ml of warm water (37-40 degrees). If the temperature is higher, the yeast may die. Leave for 15 minutes. During this time, a foam cap should appear on the surface of the dough. If it does not appear, then the yeast is not active and you need to take another one. Otherwise, the food may be spoiled.

Step 3

Step 3
Sift both types of flour (wheat and rye) through a sieve or using a special mug, mix them with a spoon or silicone spatula.

Step 4

Step 4
Add refined vegetable oil, salt and caraway seeds to the flour.

Step 5

Step 5
Pour in warm water (300 ml) and dough. Start kneading the dough with a spoon or silicone spatula. You need to knead everything well until smooth.

Step 6

Step 6
You may need less or more flour, since the same type of flour will have different properties from different manufacturers. Focus on the desired consistency of the dough. It should be quite sticky.

Step 7

Step 7
Cover the bowl with the dough with a kitchen towel and leave it warm for about 1-1.5 hours. For this purpose, you can use an oven preheated to 30-40 degrees. During this time, the dough should rise noticeably and increase in volume.

Step 8

Step 8
After an hour, knead the risen dough with your hands to expel carbon dioxide, which interferes with the fermentation process. To prevent the dough from sticking too much, wet your hands in water or grease with vegetable oil.

Step 9

Step 9
Transfer the dough to the loaf pan and smooth the surface. I have a silicone rectangular mold, so I didnʼt grease it. If you have another heat-resistant form (ceramic, metal), lightly grease it with refined vegetable oil with a high smoking point. If desired, the surface of the loaf can be sprinkled with caraway seeds.

Step 10

Step 10
Cover the pan with a towel and leave again for 40 minutes.

Step 11

Step 11
Shallow cuts in the form of diamonds can be made on the surface of the workpiece.

Step 12

Step 12
Place the pan in an oven preheated to 190 degrees and bake the bread for about 40 minutes. Focus on the features of your technology. I recommend placing a baking tray with water on the bottom of the oven. When the top of the bread is browned, remove the pan from the oven. Transfer the bread to a plate. Cover it with a slightly damp towel and leave for 15 minutes. The bread is ready. Bon appetit!
