Baking bread involves mixing basic ingredients such as flour, water, yeast, and salt. The process begins by combining these ingredients to form a dough, which is then kneaded to develop gluten, giving the bread its structure. After kneading, the dough is left to rise, allowing the yeast to ferment and produce carbon dioxide, which makes the dough expand. Once the dough has risen, it is shaped and placed in a baking pan. The bread is then baked in an oven at a specific temperature until it turns golden brown. The result is a fresh loaf of bread, ready to be sliced and enjoyed.
