In many Ukrainian families, there is a warm family tradition of making homemade bread, rather than buying it in a store. That is why the topic of how to bake bread that is airy and tender, so that a hard crust does not form on it, is so important for housewives. There are many reasons why baked goods may not turn out tasty enough. However, there are tips that will help correct the situation.
How to make soft bread
It is worth starting with an analysis of errors. For example, low humidity in the oven during baking can lead to a hard and dry crust on bread. In addition, leaving the baked goods in the oven for too long can also cause the bread to be too dense and not airy enough. Incorrectly selected cooking temperature also affects the baking.
To avoid such problems, you can try using steam. In the first 10-15 minutes of baking, it helps to form a thin and crispy crust. To do this, you can place a container of water on the bottom of the oven before baking. It can also help if you spray the inside of the oven with water from a spray bottle. It is worth being careful not to damage the oven.
But experienced housewives use a special baking stone when baking bread – it is sold in specialized pastry shops or can be ordered online. Such a stone helps maintain a uniform temperature. The heat is distributed much better, as a result of which the crust is minimal.
