Homemade Bread

This is a very easy to make bread, it's almost (ALMOST) impossible to screw up. It's tasty, fluffy and moist, just like the bread you buy in the store. Give it a go, and let us know the result. Good luck! 

Bread
 
50 grams yeast
3 1/3 cups water
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 tablespoon salt
approx. 8-9 cups rye flour

1. Crumble the yeast in a big bowl (preferable a kitchen machine). Heat up the water to 37C degrees. Pour it over the yeast, and mix until it's completely dissolved. 
2. Add the sugar, baking powder, oil and salt. Then on low speed, add the flour to the yeast mixture. The dough is ready when it's smooth and completely combined. Let rise until dubble size, approx. 50 min.
3. Take out the dough on a flat surface covered in some flour, and work it by hand until smooth. Divide into four parts, and shape into round loaves. Place on a baking tray, and let rise for another 30 minutes. 
5. Heat up the oven to 200C degrees. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the bread recives a nice color. 
6. Let cool before cutting into the bread.

Enjoy!
