Making homemade bread is an art, but how about adding a special touch to your traditional recipe?

 

Mixing warm milk and vinegar is the secret to bread with an incredibly soft texture and a flavor that will delight everyone at the table.

Surprisingly, vinegar helps activate the yeast, creating a fluffy, airy crumb, while milk adds smoothness to the dough.

Follow the step-by-step instructions for this unique recipe and prepare perfect breads for any occasion.

Ingredients

    • 250 ml of warm milk
    • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (You can use any other vinegar, but red wine vinegar will give the bread a very special touch)
    • 25 g of fresh biological yeast
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla sugarĀ 
    • 1 egg white
    • 80 ml of vegetable oil
    • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Wheat flour (quantity required, as described in the preparation)

Preparation Method

1. Activate the Yeast

  1. In a small bowl, mix the warm milk with the wine vinegar.
  2. Add the fresh yeast and vanilla sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 10 minutes, until the mixture bubbles, a sign that the yeast is activated.

2. Mix the Dry and Wet Ingredients

  1. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour (start with about 500g and adjust as needed) and salt.
  2. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, vinegar, and yeast mixture.

3. Incorporate the Liquids

  1. Add the egg white and vegetable oil to the bowl.
  2. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a smooth dough forms.
  3. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add flour until it reaches the desired consistency: soft and slightly sticky.
