Now take the puff pastry and cut it to squares - take each square and stretch it a bit and then put the mash along one side of the square and then close itwith the opposite side of the square .

How to bake simple bread




Ingredients
:

1 . 1 kg flour

2 . 3 spoons of sugar

3 . 2 teaspoons of salt

4 . 1 spoon of DRY yeast (very important to use dried yeast)

5 . Lukewarm water

Instructions :

Take all the ingredients and put them in a bowl and mix them then add water in small portions while kneading until you finish all the flour and the dough has a consistent dough texture - then cover the bowl with a towel and wait an hour and a half - then "deflate" the dough and knead it then put it in an oven tray - wait another hour and put it in the oven on 180 (celzius) = 356 (fahrenheit) and wait 1/2-1 hour

extra tips :

1 . To make it a banana bread mash (easiest with hands) 1-2 bananas and add them to the dough after "diflation" and knead them with the dough

2 . If you give the yeast more time to "inflate" the dough its better - so if you forget to knead the dough after an hour and a half - it is even better .

3 .It is very important to add the water in small portions - so you wont add to much water - which will ruin the bread !
