If you put sliced bread with misgivings and regrets in your shopping cart every time you go to the supermarket, perhaps it is better to leave it where it is and prepare it yourself at home. The recipe is simple and you don’t need ingredients that you don’t already have at home. It will be healthier, since you will not add as many sugars, fats and preservatives as they do in industrial ones and its flavor will be much more natural.
Ingredients:
500 g of W170 flour or strength flour.
12 g of fresh yeast.
40 g of honey, 10 g of salt.
30 g of butter.
200 g hot.
130 g of warm water.
1/2 teaspoon sugar.
Preparation:
As reported by Telva, the yeast and sugar must be diluted in the warm water. Leave it to rest for 10-15 minutes for the yeast to activate (it will be covered on top with foam).
Meanwhile, in the milk, melt the butter and honey.
Add 100 grams of flour and mix with a spatula until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Add the diluted yeast, the remaining flour and salt. Mix and let it rest for 30-40 minutes in the refrigerator.
Work the mixture with a mixer at medium speed until the dough comes away from the sides of the container. It can also be done manually, until it doesn’t stick to your hands.

Let it rest until the dough doubles in size.
Degas the dough by sinking your fists into it. Make a ball and let it rest for 10 minutes.
With the help of a rolling pin, stretch the dough into a rectangle with a width equal to the length of the mold you are going to use.
Roll and place in the mold previously greased with a few drops of olive oil and let the dough rise until it exceeds the mold.
Make a longitudinal cut 1 centimeter deep.
Bake at 175ºC with low heat, in the lower part of the oven for 30-40 minutes. The first 10 minutes with steam.
