However, homemade brewer yeast bread is usually the fastest way to get a tasty loaf of homemade Bread because of the shorter raising time (usually 2/3 hours); in this case, I went for a more protracted process with 12 hours of raising in a refrigerator to improve digestibility.

This was one of the first breads I posted; I was still learning (I still am) about the importance of closing the dough and scoring the top of the bread as you can see from the very odd shape :)


Given the relatively long waiting period, I will tell you more or less about my timeline for preparing Ale yeast bread for brunch.


  • I started the bread dough at 6:00 p.m.

  • I went to the refrigerator at around 7:30 p.m.

  • I pulled the dough out of the fridge at 7:30 a.m.

  • I made the very first folding at 8:00.

  • The second time at 8:30

  • The third fold is at 9:00 a.m., and the loaf is shaped.

  • I switched to a floured baking tray at 11:00 and shaped a loaf. It's essential not to have flatbread. Softly spread out the dough and prick the dough with your hands.

  • I baked at 11:10 after preheating the static oven to 240 °C.

  • I brought it out of the oven at 12:30 and let it cool off.

Homemade Bread Using Brewer's Yeast Recipe


Ingredients

  • 400 g Very Strong White Flour (or Manitoba flour)

  • 300 g Cold Water is better than bottled water

  • 8 g fresh brewer's yeast (or 4g dehydrated)

  • One teaspoon of salt optional

  • ½ teaspoon of sugar

  • 17 g of Extra virgin Olive Oil to be added at the end (you can do the same recipe without if you like)

Instructions

  • Place cold water in the "mixer bowl" and add the sugar, dissolve the yeast and leave it there until you see a tick foam rising from the mixture.

  • Mix with a low-speed hook while adding the flour, but not all in one go.

  • Add the salt and keep mixing until the dough gets elastic.

  • Boost the mixer's speed and add the olive oil (if you decide to use it) until it's absorbed completely.

  • Move the dough to a tight, lightly greased bowl. Allow the dough to rest at room temperature for 60 minutes, coated with film.

  • Transit to the fridge at 5 °C for 12 hours.

  • After this time, the dough must rise in volume to reveal the bubbles leavening.

  • Pull the dough out of the refrigerator and let it accustom to room temperature for 30 minutes. Then, gently move to a finely floured board. Shape a rectangle and attempt to deflate it as low as practicable.

  • Do the three folds three times, and then let it rest between one fold and the other for 30 minutes.

  • After the last fold, form the loaf by attempting to cover the rectangular edges under the loaf.

  • Place the dough ball to grow at room temperature for at least 2 hours, sealed with cling film. I'm going to leave it on the wooden plank where I blend.

  • After some time has passed, gently cut the dough and carefully turn the loaf over into a properly floured baking dish, leaving the closing portion upward. This small trick gives the Bread a more picturesque and sweet feel.

  • At this level, the dough is going to stretch slightly. Give the outline of the loaf, attempting to grab the dough softly.

  • Preheat the baking oven and put a water bowl on the bottom of the range.

  • Bake at 240 °C for 20 minutes and at 220 °C for another 20 minutes.

  • It is best to remove the water bowl after 40 minutes and continue cooking in a convection oven for another 10 minutes with the door partially open.

  • Please switch off the oven and allow the Bread to cool from inside, still with the door moderately open; else, remove it from the oven and let it cool down on the rack.
