German 5-Minute Bread Recipe 🍞✨
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 3-5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Shape the Bread
Shape the dough into a round or oval loaf and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Rest and Preheat
Let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes while preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Bake the Bread
Using a sharp knife, make a few shallow cuts on the top of the bread for decoration and even baking.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Cool and Serve
Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy with butter, jam, or as a side to your favorite dishes!
Tips for Success
Use Fresh Yeast: Ensure your yeast is active by checking for froth in step 1.
Customize: Add seeds, herbs, or cheese to the dough for extra flavor.
Storage: Store leftover bread in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
