"Russian Daliba" is a Russian-style loaf used to entertain friends at festive family banquets. The main raw materials for making Russian "Daliba Bread" are flour, hops, salt, etc. In the past, traditional artificial earthen stoves were used to bake this kind of bread, and oak or birch was best used as fuel. This traditional technique is still used in many places in the countryside of central and eastern Russia, and the bread baked is delicious! Because it is sparsely populated and rich in forest resources, the original ecological production process can be maintained for a long time.
At present, the world's population is rapidly expanding due to lack of forest resources, so it is no longer necessary to imitate and use this traditional process to make lepa bread. It can be made by using an oven at home.
"Hops" is a kind of rose flower plant, which is mainly used in the brewing process of beer. "Hops" are the most important additive that is indispensable during the fermentation process of beer. They can clarify the wort during the fermentation process. They can also add strong aroma and light bitterness to the beer, making the brewed beer crystal clear and will be more fragrant when drinking, and the rich foam produced by the beer will be more attractive. Beer foam is mainly produced by the conversion of fermented barley into sugar, and the aroma comes from hops. In addition, hops also have a certain antiseptic effect, allowing beer to be stored for a long time.
It is difficult to get liquid hops when making leba bread at home, so there is no need to worry about it. Liquid hops can also be homemade, but if you don't use hops to make leba bread, it will lose its unique aroma. Beer itself contains a large amount of hops and ecological substances from the Central Plains. Otherwise, how could it taste so good, haha! As long as it is fermented twice, it can be used instead of liquid hops to make bread. The main production methods are as follows;
