To avoid the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus infection, the competent authorities advise us to limit the movements. It's time to rediscover the ancient traditions of our cuisine: homemade. Even for those foods that we are used to buying ready-made or semi-ready. Here are our recipes
Limit travel. This advises us and the scientific community and the central and peripheral governing bodies. Even shopping then becomes a problem, so our advice is to avoid doing it daily: rather we make a detailed list of things that always come in handy, especially long-term or frozen foods. We are not telling you to go raiding supermarkets like there was no tomorrow, but just about organize well in shopping to comply with the advice that the authorities are giving us at this complicated time to avoid the spread of the infection from Covid-19 coronavirus.
And then, preparing everything you can do at home is not only for the sake of limiting travel, but also because what we prepare at home is better, more genuine, makes us rediscover old customs and ancient traditions, makes us bring to mind our grandmothers or mothers, also allows us to spend creative time with our children who are at home because of the closed schools, putting them next to us to work in the kitchen. In short, you want to put the pleasure of eating the bread you make, or the brioches or, again, the breadsticks, the rusks …
Ah, one last thing: if you have a large balcony, a terrace or, better yet, a garden, it's the right time to turn it into a family vegetable garden, for a home-made product, at zero kilometer.
Home-made: bread!
For a nice one loaf homemade 400 grams of flour are needed (the most suitable is that of type 00), 200 ml of water, 10 grams of yeast of beer, salt and a teaspoon of honey, useful for promoting leavening. Alternatively, you can choose to use a little bit of sugar. In any case, firstly arrange the flour on a pastry board, pour the water, add yeast and honey and mix well, obviously with your hands, also adding the salt. At this point, all that remains is to let the dough rise for at least two hours; then put the loaf in the oven, preheated a 250 degrees, and it is cooked for about twenty minutes, after which it is necessary to leave the bread still for thirty minutes in cooking, but at 180 degrees. Before putting the loaf in the oven, however, we must not forget to cut it with a knife. Finally, to make homemade bread more delicious, you can add oily seeds of different kinds to the leavened dough, such as sunflower, flax or Pine nuts.
