The characteristics of Russian bread: rough, affordable, less oily, durable, and not prone to spoilage. The most representative one is "Daliba".

Although the famous Russian-style "Black Lieba" is not very good-looking, it is very nutritious and is rare now. "Leba" can be divided into white flour, black flour and whole wheat. The production process can be divided into old noodle fermentation method, seed noodle fermentation method and new noodle secondary fermentation method. It can be used during baking, including large spatula baking, baking sheet baking and mold baking. In the past, in Russian bakeries, most of these lepa breads, which were made as a staple food, did not add oil. What they needed was the aroma of wheat and the original aroma of yeast. This was similar to some French breads, but it was not as exquisite as others. However, its size was large and rough, and it was a representative of Eastern European bread.

    1. Although the preparation of Dalieba is simple, the required skill level is not low; therefore, pay close attention to mastering every step. 2. Applying a flour paste before baking is one of the characteristics of making Dalieba, so please try to avoid applying other ingredients, such as egg wash. 3. Making the flour paste is not difficult; the key is to master its consistency, which should be slightly thicker than cooked rice soup. 4. You can use any other flour with moderate gluten strength, or mixed flour. 5. The old dough fermentation method mainly involves storing dough that has fermented to 3-4 times its size; when using, simply mix in new flour and necessary ingredients to ferment. The difference between seed dough fermentation and old dough fermentation lies in the quantity. It is similar to the "old dough starter" used in Northern China, but one must control the introduction of contaminating bacteria; I will discuss this issue in detail later.
