As the autumn season wraps us in its chilly embrace, baking emerges as a heartwarming hobby for many. A simple two-ingredient r ecipe has taken the internet by storm, earning accolades from food enthusiasts for its resemblance to classic sourdough bread. There's nothing like embracing the spirit of autumn with some home-baked bread, and the good news is, you don't need to be a master baker like Paul Hollywood to whip up a delicious loaf.
Emily Scott, the culinary mind behind 'What I Ate For Breakfast' and a noted cookbook author, shared her effortless approach to baking on Instagram . She revealed how to craft a delightful loaf that requires less than an hour to make, all within the confines of an air fryer , sidestepping the traditional, time-consuming methods of kneading and proving, reports MirrorOnline. At the foundation of Emily's quick-fix recipe is the two-ingredient dough comprising self-raising flour and yoghurt.
There's also a handy tip for those grappling with overly sticky dough: just mix in a little extra flour until you reach the desired consistency. Just last week, Emily enthused about the simplicity of bread-making in a social media post: "Run out of bread? Did you know you can make a loaf of bread using the two-ingredient dough (just flour and yoghurt)?" She continued to extol the virtues of this method: "No proving or kneading required, this comes together really quickly and is a great shortcut. The texture isn't quite as light and fluffy as a loaf made with yeast (more similar to soda bread), but it's soft with a delicious, crunchy crust and perfect for toasting or enjoyed warm from the oven slathered with butter!" The feedback for Emily's swift bread solution has been overwhelmingly positive.
One enthusiast commented: "Just made this for brekky. It's yum like a cross between soda bread and a scone. Thanks for the recipe .
" A post shared by Emily Scott (@whatiateforbreakfast) Social media is abuzz with users raving about a simple two-ingredient bread recipe that's not only easy to make but also deliciously reminiscent of sourdough. @mrs_p_42 shared her delight: "Just made it very nice actually..
..exactly like sourdough.
I love how it's homemade, no rubbish added to it." @gillettecherie was equally enthusiastic, exclaiming: "I made this bread and it's the best bread I have eaten in decades!!!" Another user chimed in with praise for the recipe 's versatility: "Thank you soooo much. I've been using these ingredients for bagels for ages now, such an easy recipe .
Also works for pizza dough too." What sets this recipe apart is its convenience; there's no need for an oven. Emily, the culinary whizz behind this creation, simply used her air fryer on the 'bake' setting to achieve perfect results.
Here's how you can replicate Emily's viral bread sensation: Two-ingredient bread recipe 500g self-raising flour 475g Greek yogurt Salt Egg wash Seeds, herbs or seasonings of your choice (optional) Add 500g self-raising flour to a large bowl with a generous pinch of salt, plus any other herbs, spices or seasonings you wish to add. Add 475g Greek yoghurt, then mix until it forms a dough. Shape the dough into a round and place on a lined baking tray, then brush all over with egg wash.
Scatter over some seeds for extra crunch if desired. Bake in a preheated oven at 180C fan/200C or air fry using the bake setting at 180C for 40 to 45 minutes or until the base of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, then slice and enjoy!.
