Danish Brick Bread

Danish Brick Bread

Overview

I have been working on the Brick Bread for a long time, and I have never done it, just because I thought of folding the quilt and protecting the dough, which felt a bit lazy. I thought about going to the bakery to buy one to satisfy my craving, but then I thought about the gold brick bread they sell, not to mention the artificial oil in it, and the fact that the bread makes you look taller, so it is very expensive. Think about it, it’s better to do it yourself and have enough food and clothing! Haha

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Use the post-oil method to knead all the ingredients into a dough until it reaches the expansion stage. (That is, it can form a glove film when pulled apart.) The dough is basically fermented until it doubles in size. Next roll in butter.

  2. Put 130 grams of butter into a plastic bag and shape into flakes.

  3. Flatten and deflate the basically fermented dough, then roll it into a dough sheet, and put butter into the middle of the dough sheet. (The dough sheet is twice as big as the butter)

  4. Pinch the butter-wrapped dough sheet tightly until the butter is firmly wrapped in the dough sheet, then unfold the dough into a sheet.

  5. Fold the left and right ends of the rolled dough toward the middle to form the first round of 3-fold folds. Wrap it and let it rest in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Take it out, then roll it into a dough sheet and repeat this step for 3 rounds of 3-fold folds.
