Crispy twist bread

Overview

I started baking just for fun. After getting into the trap, I realized that there were so many additives in the desserts sold outside. In order to prevent my children from being harmed by those inexplicable things, I got into baking seriously. As stated on the competition homepage: Every baking craft records the warmth of your fingertips and soft thoughts. The ultimate meaning of baking is to gain love and happiness. Thank you to the organizers for providing this platform for learning and exchange. This braided bread is medium in size and has the right sweetness. Because of the addition of milk, it tastes particularly soft. The surface is sprinkled with coarse sugar. It makes a crunching sound when you bite it. It’s fragrant and crispy, and it’s so satisfying! There is no filling in the bread, so it is relatively simple to make.

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Put all the ingredients except butter into the bread machine in order. Put the liquid first, then the flour. Dig a hole in the flour and bury the yeast. Remember to separate the salt and yeast. Start the dough kneading program of the bread machine, add softened butter after 20 minutes, start the fermentation program (my bread machine fermentation program includes 30 minutes of kneading and 60 minutes of fermentation), and let it rise to 1.5 to 2 times in size.
