    Additional Notes Regarding Ingredients

    FOREWORD

    I just love watching dough rise. It’s easy to combine the necessary ingredients and then let the mix rest and grow, mature and change—just like a living thing. Eventually, when it has been shaped, proofed, and baked, the dough’s transformation is complete, and from out of the oven emerges golden, deliciously aromatic bread with a firm crust and a soft, irresistible interior. Or maybe it’s crunchy crispbread you’ll get to bite into, or soft rye rolls reminiscent of childhood. Personally, I don’t think anything beats a slice of freshly baked bread or a crusty roll with a pat of butter melting on top.

    I’m a home economics and consumer education teacher as well as a journalist. Since 2009, I’ve created many recipes for Sweden’s largest baking magazine Hembakat [Home Baked]. For a few years now, my blog, Linda’s Baking School, has been one of Sweden’s most popular baking websites. I receive a lot of feedback from readers who like that my recipes are simple, easy to follow, and that I show all the important stages of the process with step-by-step pictures. The end results are also thoroughly tested: my partner and I have five children, so we do put away quite a lot of bread in our home.

    In this book, I’ve collected many of my most beloved bread recipes—breads that I hope will inspire more people to do some baking of their own. It’s healthier for you and easier on your wallet, not to mention far, far tastier.

    Best of luck!

    Linda

    HANDY TIPS AND POINTERS

    to help you achieve bread-baking success

    Read the recipe: Always start by reading the recipe all the way through, then gather all the ingredients and utensils that you’ll need. Now you’re ready to begin baking.

    Liquid: When you use water for making bread, the inner crumb will be slightly chewy and have uneven air bubbles; the surface will become crusty and quite pale as it bakes. Using milk in the dough yields a softer crumb with fine air bubbles and a softer crust that browns more quickly. You can also use beer or vegetable juice, both of which deliver fuller flavor and a golden-brown crust.

    Gluten: Gluten is vital for baking a light bread with good volume. Wheat flour contains the most gluten, so half the flour in a bread dough should come from wheat. For the bread to develop proper size, you’ll need to knead the dough thoroughly, either by hand or in a standing mixer. Kneading produces gluten threads that protect the air bubbles that form during the dough’s rise. The bread will be heavy and dense without strong gluten threads.

    Flour: Always add flour in small increments towards the end to avoid making the dough too dense. Better a sticky dough than a dry, hard one. The dough should feel pliable and have a slightly sticky surface. Always flour your hands when kneading dough.

    Salt: Salt will bind the liquid and make the bread less crumbly. It enhances other flavors and imparts better volume, an even crumb, and deeper color. The amount of salt
