Overview

Suddenly I really want to eat the traditional old-fashioned bread from my childhood, with its light aroma, fluffy texture and nostalgic taste. Well, if you have nothing to do today, let’s learn to do it. After searching online, I found that there are really some people who teach how to make this kind of old-fashioned bread. When it comes to making bread, the most terrifying thing is kneading the dough. I remember the last time I made bread, it took more than an hour to knead the dough. It was really hard. My hands and arms were so sore the next day. However, I saw someone on the Internet teaching how to use an egg beater (I use a Qihe brand at home) to knead the dough, so I decided to give it a try. After verification, the effect is indeed good. Also, butter is not used, firstly to reduce the heat, and secondly to maintain the simple taste of old-fashioned bread, so salad oil is used. The bread was made very successfully. It really tasted like when I was a child. When I took a bite, I was moved to tears. There are pictures and the truth...
