Two-color toast

Two-color toast

Overview

I like toast, its soft texture, soft taste, the feeling of tearing it into pieces and eating it with my hands, and its versatile ways of making and eating it. Every time I bring toast to my mother, she will happily take it, tear a piece off and put it in her mouth, saying repeatedly: "It's delicious. I like to eat it like this. It's soft and tastes good." Today, toast has become a breakfast staple in my family.

  20. Process the remaining dough one by one, put it into a toast box, cover it, and put it in the oven for secondary fermentation. It took 1 hour and 20 minutes to ferment. When the toast box was 80% full, take it out. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees and lower heat to 170 degrees. After preheating is completed, put it in the toast box and bake for 52 minutes.
