Bread in under five minutes? This German recipe is a must-try!

The yeast may be activated by mixing together the sugar, water, and dried yeast in a big basin. Give it a little stir, cover it, and let it sit for five minutes. In order to get the yeast ready to make dough, this procedure is called activation.

Pour in the sunflower oil. Then, add the flour. To make sure the flour is well-incorporated, sift it into the batter slowly. The flour is aerated and lumps are prevented by sifting, which also contributes to a lighter bread texture.

Initial Rise: Knead until a thick, sticky dough has formed. The dough has to rise for an hour in a warm spot, covered with a towel, so it may double in size.

After the dough has risen, give it a quick stir for another 30 seconds. Recover and let sit for another half an hour.

Coat your work surface lightly with flour and shape the dough into a rectangle. After ten minutes of resting, fold it over upon itself and cover with a bowl.
