CHOCOLATE FARINA BREAD RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Chocolate Farina Bread Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 Tablespoon butter
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 packet yeast
4 packets Chocolate instant Cream of Wheat (= just shy of 1c)
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons pasilla dried chili flakes
Oil or cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat the water, yogurt, butter, sugar, and salt until everything is melted Cool until you can comfortably hold your finger in it - too hot may kill the yeast Sprinkle the yeast into the bowl of your food processor (make sure you're using the dough blade) or stand mixer and pour the warm liquid over it Let sit for about 5" to give the yeast a chance to bloom Mix in the Cream of Wheat, then the flour and chilies, a little at a time If using a stand mixer, let knead for 5-8" until glossy and smooth If using a food processor, pulse until it comes together in a ball and pulls away from the blade Lightly spray or oil a bowl, turn the dough in the bowl to coat, then cover and let rise for 45" to 1' (I tuck mine away in the oven) Punch down the dough, form it into a ball and transfer to a lightly sprayed pie plate, parchment-lined tray, baking stone - whatever you're comfortable with Let rest for 20" or so Bake at 375° for 35-40" Cool completely before slicing

Tips:

  • Choose the right flour. Farina bread is traditionally made with semolina flour, but you can also use all-purpose flour or a combination of the two. Semolina flour will give your bread a slightly coarser texture, while all-purpose flour will make it softer.
  • Use fresh yeast. Active dry yeast is the most common type of yeast used in baking, but you can also use instant yeast or fresh yeast. Fresh yeast is the most perishable, so it's important to use it within a few days of purchase.
  • Proof the yeast. Proofing the yeast means activating it in warm water before adding it to the dough. This helps to ensure that the yeast is active and will help your bread to rise properly.
  • Knead the dough properly. Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten in the flour, which gives bread its structure. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise. After you've kneaded the dough, let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
  • Shape the dough. Once the dough has risen, you can shape it into a loaf or rolls. To shape a loaf, simply roll the dough out into a rectangle and then roll it up tightly. To shape rolls, divide the dough into equal pieces and then roll each piece into a ball.
  • Bake the bread. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe. Bake the bread for 30-45 minutes, or until it is golden brown and crusty.

Conclusion:

Farina bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed on its own or used to make sandwiches, toast, or croutons. With a little practice, you can easily make farina bread at home. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try!
