Of course, you could always go to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lindasbakery.com\/\">local bread bakery<\/a> every day to get a fresh loaf, but it isn\u2019t always practical. This means you\u2019re going to have to try making the best loaves of bread and buns you can.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: left;\">If you make bread that tastes like it came straight from the bakery, you&#8217;ll find your loaves never get stale! So, if you&#8217;re tired of rock hard bread or you just want\u00a0to learn how to make bread like the pros, we unleash some of our secrets here!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: left;\"><strong>Decide What to Make<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: left;\">Bread is the king of variety. There are more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lindasbakery.com\/content\/menus\/breads-buns-rolls\">bread types<\/a> than most people can even imagine, so it&#8217;s important that you decide what you want to make before you go shopping. The ingredient list for a \u201cHomade\u201d loaf will look much different than a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lindasbakery.com\/blog\/new-bobs-pizza-bread\">pizza bread<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: left;\">Find a recipe that you can understand and that has clear instructions and an ingredient list. During this step, you&#8217;ll also have time to research the specific bread type to find out if there are any ingredients you haven&#8217;t heard of before.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: left;\"><strong>Use the Right Yeast<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: left;\">Yeast is incredibly important in breadmaking. There are three main types of yeast you should consider:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: left;\">\n<li>Fresh<\/li>\n<li>Fast acting<\/li>\n<li>Active dried<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: left;\">Make sure you double-check what type of yeast your bread recipe calls for. When it comes to home baking, most recipes will use\u00a0fast-acting or easy-blend dried yeast, which is one of the easiest types to work with: just add it in with the dry ingredients.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: left;\"><strong>Salt and Yeast<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: left;\">Bread recipes should include salt as it enhances the flavor and strengthens the dough. It&#8217;s important that you measure the salt out carefully and don&#8217;t use more than you need. An overly salty loaf of bread is almost as bad as one without salt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: left;\">Salt also slows down the fermentation process as the dough needs time to develop the gluten. If you want your bread to have a great crust and good structure, you need to make sure you let the gluten develop fully.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: left;\">Just make sure you don&#8217;t add salt directly on top of your yeast in the bowl. Doing this can <a href=\"https:\/\/breadopedia.com\/does-salt-kill-yeast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kill the yeast<\/a>, which leads to rising problems as the salt draws moisture out of the yeast. If your dough doesn&#8217;t rise properly, it will become flat and dense.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: left;\"><strong>Start Making Bakery Quality Bread Today<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: left;\">Once you&#8217;ve mastered the art of making great bread, you&#8217;ll begin to see just how nice it is to have a bakery-grade loaf of bread on hand. If you use quality baking ingredients and follow good bread-baking tips, you&#8217;ll be cracking out loaves faster than you can think.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: left;\">While these tips might help you make bakery-quality bread,\u00a0there are still a wide variety of baked goods you can order. If\u00a0there are any items <a href=\"https:\/\/lindasbakery.bakesmart.com\/\">you&#8217;d like to order<\/a>, simply add them to your cart and enjoy your treat!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bread is the king of variety.
