Chef talked about life hacks for baking homemade bread

Chef Evgeny Meshcheryakov spoke on Tuesday, June 23, about life hacks that will help keep homemade bread fresh and soft for longer.

"If we talk about the "secret ingredients", then I would not call exotic, but ordinary products: a spoonful of honey helps the yeast work more actively; a little olive oil makes the crumb more tender; mashed potatoes or boiled potatoes in the dough allow the bread to stay fresh and soft longer," he said in an interview with 360.ru .

The expert added that the main secret of good bread is to let it cool completely after baking. No matter how much you want to cut the loaf immediately, it is during cooling that the crumb formation is completed, he concluded.

"Bread does not tolerate aggression, profanity or malice"
