When many friends make bread, the bread they make always feels a bit rough and tough, and feels that the bread is not delicate and soft. Usually, if the baked bread and crust are hard, the main reason should be that the dough is not good or the baking temperature and baking time are not correct. So how can you make soft and delicious bread?
Maybe the next time you make bread, you can refer to the following methods to knead the dough. First of all, remember to use warm, not hot water or milk to knead the dough. If the water temperature is too hot, the activity of the yeast will be destroyed. So it is best to knead the dough with the temperature that your fingers can withstand. The kneading time of the dough is generally about eight to ten minutes, reaching an almost viscous state.
Gently pat a little oil on the palm of your hand and apply it to the dough that has already been made into a spherical surface. Finally, ferment the dough according to the specific requirements of the bread recipe to be made. Milk can help keep the bread soft and the egg yolk can make the bread color better, so before baking the bread, you can put a layer of egg yolk paddle with a little milk on the whole bread.
Always remember to preheat the oven before putting the bread in the food production line. Unless some recipes specifically require the baking temperature of the bread, it is generally acceptable to bake the bread at a standard baking temperature between 180 °C and 200 °C. The bread is usually baked for 12 to 20 minutes, although some flaky breads are an exception. If your bread is not colored enough after this time, you can raise the temperature a little bit, but always pay attention to the bread to avoid it scorching.
Finally, after the bread is baked, the hot air of the bread is still quickly brushed a little on the bread, and then covered with a clean kitchen cloth. This will keep the bread soft and hydrated, and the taste will be softer and softer.
