You will need
-
- 400 g flour;

Instruction manual
1
Put dry active yeast and sugar in a small bowl and dilute them with warm water. Stir everything and leave in a warm place for 20-30 minutes. During this time, the yeast will begin to disperse, and foam will appear on the surface of the liquid.
2
Sift flour into a large bowl or basin, add salt, bran and mix everything. Add vegetable oil (olive or sunflower) to this mixture, depending on your taste.
3
Pour water with yeast into a container with flour in a thin stream, carefully stirring all the ingredients with a wooden spatula. Do this until the flour has absorbed all the liquid and you will not get a homogeneous mass.
4
Knead the dough by hand for about 5 minutes until it becomes soft and elastic. This procedure can be facilitated by using a food processor. In it, knead the dough for 2-3 minutes at medium speed and a couple of minutes at high. Well-kneaded dough should not stick to the hands or to the walls of the combine cup.
5
Form a ball from the kneaded dough and leave it in a warm place for one and a half or two hours in a warm place.
6
The dough should increase two to three times. When it comes up, form a round loaf from it, make a cross-shaped incision at the top and transfer to a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal or bran. Cover future bread with a kitchen towel and let it sit in a warm place for about one hour.
7
15-10 minutes before the start of baking, turn on the oven, it should warm up to 220-230 degrees.
Before baking, put a bowl of cold water on the bottom of the oven.
8
Place the baking tray in the oven and bake bread at 220 degrees for about forty minutes.
9
Transfer the finished loaf of bread to the wire rack and let it cool for 20 minutes.
