Soft cotton bread without butter---original toast

Overview

When I first learned to bake, I went to the supermarket to look for butter, thinking that I couldn’t make cakes or breads without butter. Later, my family didn’t like the taste of butter. Gradually, I stopped adding butter to cakes and breads. It turns out that I can still make delicious pastries, especially the toast I recommend today, which is often made by my family. It is very soft and very delicious. After eating the toast I made, the ones sold outside must be unpalatable. For novice bakers, bread making is something that must be learned carefully. It seems to be a very simple process, but it also involves a lot of knowledge to make it delicious and beautiful. First of all, bread must be made with high-gluten flour. A good finished product cannot be separated from good raw materials. It is recommended to buy it in large supermarkets. Some supermarkets are not easy to buy. I personally think that it is better to buy baking raw materials at Metro, which is more comprehensive and more genuine. Secondly, whether the dough has been kneaded to the expansion stage is a critical step. Kneading the dough by hand is a particularly hard task. However, for friends who love baking, the important thing is that the baking process brings us pleasure, so we don’t feel hard. However, in order to save time, it is still necessary to buy a bread machine, and kneading the dough will be much easier. Most breads can be kneaded to the expansion stage, but some breads need to be kneaded to the complete stage. Stretch the dough with your hands. When the dough can form a light-transmitting film, but the strength of the film is average, and after being broken by hand, the edge of the break will have an irregular shape. At this time, the dough is in the expansion stage. If the film has good toughness and is not easy to break by hand, and the edges are smooth when broken, the dough has reached the complete stage. Thirdly, the fermentation of the dough directly affects the taste of the bread. If the dough is not fermented enough, the volume will be small and the taste will be poor. If it is over-fermented, the bread will collapse easily and produce a sour taste that will affect the taste. Generally, the fermentation time is about one hour at room temperature of 28 degrees Celsius. During this period, by observing the size, a common method is to dip your fingers in a little flour and poke a hole in the dough. If the hole does not shrink back, it proves that it has risen well. Secondary fermentation after shaping takes about 40 minutes. Sometimes it takes longer. Pay attention. Do not touch the dough during this period. It is best to put it directly into the oven to reduce evaporation of water. Bake it directly when it doubles or 2.5 times in size. One more verbose thing is that when baking, if you see that the surface is a bit mushy, brush the egg wash halfway and cover the surface with tin foil. It feels too wordy. The toast I’m talking about today is the bread machine version. The steps are explained in detail below.
