- Hello everyone and welcome back!
Today, I will show you how I prepare the dough that we normally consume within a week as a family of 5! I have found this to be much less time consuming on a weekly basis and we always have healthy, fresh and delicious homemade bread!
If you find it difficult to bake bread every single day, then this video will definitely help you make the process much easier!
I really hope you enjoy! If you do, please give this video a "thumbs up" and consider subscribing, if you like my content!
Thank you always for your nice comments and your support!

BREAD RECIPE:
300 ml warm water
1 ½ teaspoons of salt
1 teaspoon dry yeast
olive oil (or some other vegetable oil)
½ cup active sourdough
flour (as much as needed)
Place the ingredients in the mixer bowl (or in a deep bowl, if you do it by hand) in the order they are written. Turn the stand mixer on (on medium to low speed) from the beginning and make sure that each material is incorporated into the mixture, before adding the next one. The water should not be hot because it can deactivate the yeast and prevent it from rising. Always add the flour last, eyeballing how much is needed. Our dough is ready, when it has come off the sides of the bowl and does not stick to our hand. At the end, adjust the mixer on high speed to beat well for about 2 minutes.
Transfer the mixture to an oiled bowl, cover with a towel and leave to rise in a closed oven. Alternatively, seal tightly in a plastic bag. It is ready as soon as the mixture has doubled in size (about an hour).
Then knead carefully so it doesn't lose its air. We just want to give it a round shape. Place in a deep bowl, with parchment paper, and let rise again for about an hour. Carve a deep line on the surface with a knife or razor so that it inflates properly and does not burst. Bake at the highest for 10' and then turn down to 180-200 degrees Celsius for another 40'.
Take the lid off, turn up to 210 and bake for another 10' to brown. Let it cool down on a rack for about 20 minutes. Don't cut while it's hot, the moisture will spoil the flavor and texture. You can also add only yeast. Simply replace the sourdough with a teaspoon of dry yeast (2 teaspoons total).

BREAD TOAST:
350 ml warm water
1 teaspoon salt
2 tbsp honey (or sugar but honey makes it tastier!)
1 teaspoon dry yeast
olive oil (or other vegetable oil)
½ cup active sourdough
flour (as much as it takes for a soft dough)
Place the ingredients in the mixer bowl (or in a deep bowl, if you do it by hand) in the order they are written. Turn the mixer on (medium to low speed) from the beginning and make sure that each ingredient is incorporated into the mixture, before adding the next one. The water should not be hot because it can "deactivate" the yeast and prevent it from rising. Always add the flour last, eyeballing. Add as little as possible. Once it stops sticking to the sides of the bowl, it is ready.
At the end, adjust the mixer on high speed to beat well for 2 minutes. It might stick to the hands a little. It should be good enough to work with. You can oil the hands for more convenience.
Transfer the mixture to an oiled bowl, cover with a towel and leave to rise in a closed oven. Alternatively, seal tightly in a plastic bag. It is ready as soon as the mixture has doubled in size (about an hour).
Then, knead well. Press it as much as you can, so that there is no air inside, give it an oblong shape and place in an oblong container, with parchment paper.
Let it rise for about another hour, covering with a clean towel. It may take less time. Don’t let rise too much so it doesn't spoil when baked in the oven. Brush with a little oil or melted butter and place in a preheated oven for 30' to 35' (at 220 degrees Celcious).
Take out of the oven and let stand for 10'. Then remove from the pan and leave on the counter to cool well. Cut carefully (it comes out softer than regular bread) into thin slices and keep in a clean resealable bag.

Το ψωμί είναι ένας ζωντανός οργανισμός και ευλογημένο απο τον Χριστό! Το προζύμι απ'το οποίο ξεκινά η ζωή του είναι σαν το ξεκίνημα μιας νέας ζωής που φέρουμε στα σπλάχνα μας, ευλογημένης και προστατευμένης επίσης από τον Χριστό! Σου εύχομαι μέσα από την ψυχή μου τα καλύτερα!🙏🌹🌈❤️
Πολύ όμορφη σκέψη, Παναγιώτα! Το προζύμι, ειδικά όταν το έχεις φτιάξει μόνος σου, το νιώθεις ακριβώς έτσι όπως το περιγράφεις! Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ, επίσης! ❤💕
Dear Iris,i really enjoy watching your calm and cosy videos when i have time and it is always such a wonderful time for me. I start the day watching a new video from you,enjoying my first cup of coffee and i feel some kind of comfort. It may be just the calmness in your video....thank you sooo much 😊🧡🍁🦔🐿.
That's so nice to know, dear! Thank you so much for your kindness! I'm glad to give you a few moments of calm! I hope you are doing great! 🥰🍂💕
Sweet Iris. I am so sorry I am late to this video. Your bread looks amazing. Your family is so blessed that you take care of them in such a beautiful wholesome way. I miss seeing the Greek country side. Thank you for sharing the beautiful views with us. Such a sweet and calming video. Thank you sweetie.
Hello Angie! You obviously don't need to apologize. 🥰 Thank you for your kind comment, I am happy that you enjoyed the greek countryside. I hope you are doing great! Much love, dear! 💕
This was so satisfying and relaxing to watch! Your bread turned out beautiful and looks so delicious 😋🥰
Thank you so much! It does turn out delicious and we always enjoy having fresh homemade bread! 😊💕
Hello dear Iris, as wonderful as your video is, as with all of them, the greatest is congratulations. I am so happy for you. xoxo
Aww, thank you Marisa! That's so so sweet of you! 🥰
Kedves Íris, nagyon örülök a videódnak! Én is éppen tegnap sütöttem kenyeret. Jó, hogy láttam, hogy lefagyadztoid a megkelt tésztát, én is megpróbálom legközelebb. Örömmel látom, hogy bővül a családotok, jó egészséget, sok boldogságot kívánok nektek. Szeretettel üdvözöllek Éva
For any time, Bread is life. Your bread is really beautiful. Loved the countryside I saw , beginning the video. As always, you bring me in a sweet world. Thanks a lot dear Iris. 🧡
Thank you so much for your nice comment! Unfortunately, it hasn't been easy for me to visit nature as much as I would love to lately so I was happy to share this pretty scenery! Have a lovely week, dear! 💕
Ειρήνη μου γλυκιά, τα βίντεο σου πάντα υπέροχα, απολαυστικά και χαλαρωτικά! Μου άρεσε πολύ που έκοβαν από το ψωμάκι τα παιδιά!
Ευχαριστώ πολύ, Ειρήνη μου, για το τόσο όμορφο σχόλιο! Ναι, δεν πρόλαβα να πάρω το πλάνο που ήθελα, βούτηξαν κατευθείαν τα χεράκια!😊💕
That was lovely, thank you Iris. The bread looks so yummy. I grew up with my mom always baking fresh bread. She used a potato sourdough starter. X
Oh, that's lovely Elmiri! It seems that your mom's blessed hands were always creative! 😊 I'm also happy to see my kids being curious to see what is baked in the kitchen! 💕
Looks like some tasty bread!! Thanks for sharing!!
Definitely awesOme my friend!
Very interesting videO💜
Thanks fOr the sharing 💞
Best wishes frOm Canada🙏
Thank you!
Génial ! Je découvre ta chaine depuis le Canada ! J'adore * nouvelle abonnée * Merci pour cette superbe vidéo !
Hello again, dear Iris. It's wonderful visiting you every week watching you busying about, or just plain relaxing. Bread making is a big thing in my home, so watching this video on your making bread in this unique way will be so helpful to me. We always make sourdough in addition to ordinary yeast-risen loaves for everyday use. I will take note of your recipe and try it. It looks so yummy! You are such a blessing to all of us. Much love, peace and blessing to you, ~Wendi 💝 🌻
Thank you so much, sweet Wendi! Our family loves both recipes so I hope you like them too. If you have any tips to share by the way, please let me know. I am always happy to learn more about baking. Many many blessings to your lovely family, dear! 🤗
@@quaintlittlehome Thank you so much for your lovely reply! 😃 I learnt bread-making from a big fat book by Elizabeth David. YT's anti-spamming prevents me from naming the book. 😒 But you will know it by sight as there are many 2nd hand versions. David does recipes of many types of bread. Hope this helps
@@Aco747lyte It does! Thank you, Wendi!
This reminds me so much of my mother. She made bread on the weekends to last the whole week. The smell was glorious. It skipped a generation. I don’t bake at all. But my daughter does. She always gives us some so that makes me happy. The crust of the bread is the best 💙
Same with us. My mum bakes only prosforo, which is bread for the church. I used to watch my grandmother bake bread very often and I still remember the beautiful smell. It's lovely that your daughter bakes and shares it with you! 🥰
well done 👍🎉🏆
Your bread looks delicious. My husband is the bread baker in our family. He bakes for us and for our son's family every week. He also makes waffles for our grandchildren. Congratulations, by the way, Iris! 💗
Your husband? That's amazing! You and your family are so lucky! 💕 And thank you!! 😊💙
Looks wonderful, I loved it :)
Thank you so much!
I would love to order one of each loaf dear Iris, where can I sign up? 😉❤️ Oh, this looks absolutely delicious, and I can't imagine how good it must smell in your kitchen on such a "baking day". There is just something special about fresh, homemade bread, right? Have a lovely day 🤗
Haha! I wish you I could send you some to have with a cup of tea! 😊I totally agree! Homemade, freshly baked bread is always delicious and my kids sometimes eat it all within a day! I really enjoy that time in my kitchen too! You too have a lovely day, dear! 💕
An enjoyable watch. Your natural leaven looked rather inactive. Is it going past it's best in the night? Mine only needs 4-5 hours after a feed to be at it's peak. I don't need to add instant yeast.
Thanks for the great video. It's always nice to see how others bake.
Thank you! You mean whether it is overfermented? I don't think so. It takes 4-5 hours only during Summer when the weather is very hot and when I use it daily. At this period, I only use it once a week, store it in the fridge and the house is colder. I think that might be the reason. If you do have any tips, though, please let me know!
@@quaintlittlehome Mine comes to ripeness after being in the fridge after 4-5 hours too.
You bake very nicely. My tips would be of little value to you. You have your own wild style not measuring and knowing by feel. A sign of a very experienced baker.
I write articles on advanced home baking. Which are all based on Bakers percentage and accurate measuring for repeatability across many different recipes and styles of bread.
I could send you the article on natural leaven management, but I doubt you need it.
It was such a pleasure watching your bake.
Be well.
@@kevinu.k.7042 That's so kind coming from you then! Thank you so much!
