A Bread Recipe that Was Once Popular on The Internet and Worth Thousands of Silver: Old-fashioned Bread (bread Machine Version)

1. Put all the starter ingredients into the bread machine (150 grams of Jinxiang high powder, 12 grams of sugar, 4.5 grams of yeast, and 120 grams of water), first stir with chopsticks until there is no dry powder, so as not to splash the dry powder when starting the machine.

2. Start the machine's'kneading program' to knead the dough for 2-3 minutes. Just mix the ingredients evenly with a starter, then stop the machine, close the lid, and start natural fermentation.

3. Fermented until the dough is honeycomb-shaped, the room temperature in our house is about 20 degrees, and the fermentation time is about 2.5 hours.

4. Put the starter in the machine and add the ingredients of the main dough directly, first add the liquid part, that is, the egg liquid and water.

5. Then pour sugar and salt into 2 different corners of the machine.

6. Finally, pour in the milk powder and flour.

7. Use chopsticks to stir the ingredients first to prevent the powder from splashing when starting the machine.

8. Start the machine's'kneading dough' program, knead the dough for 15 minutes, then stop the machine, and proceed to the next step. Then select the machine's "standard bread" program, select "light" for burning color, and weigh 900 grams. The whole process takes 3:15 minutes as the default for the machine. Start the machine and start working. The kneading time of the standard bread program is 30 minutes by default. When the kneading reaches 15 minutes, the machine is suspended to check the dough, and the thinner film can be pulled out.

9. At this time, put butter that has softened at room temperature and start the machine to continue kneading.

10. Continue to knead for 15 minutes. The entire kneading phase is over, plus the additional 15 minutes of kneading before. The total kneading time is 45 minutes. Check the dough and you can easily pull out the glove mold.

11. The surface of the kneaded dough is smooth, delicate and non-sticky. Cover the machine lid and proceed to the first stage of fermentation. At this time, the machine displays 2:45.

12. When the fermentation reaches 1:49-1:48 minutes, the machine will have a one-minute mixing and exhausting process. You can suspend the machine at this time to shape the dough. If you want to be lazy and not shape the dough, just ignore it. Just use the bread machine for the second serve and bake. After exhausting and mixing, suspend the machine, take out the dough and divide it into 4 equal parts without slack.

13. Sprinkle some high flour on the chopping board or apply some oil on your hands, and knead the dough into a strip.

14. Connect the two ends of the noodles and twist 2 turns into a twist.

15. Tuck the connecting parts into the circle.

16. Take out the stirring rod from the bread machine bucket, and put the shaped bread dough into the bread machine bucket. The 4 green dough pieces should be of the same size and tightness as possible, so that they won’t be different in height when they are baked. Cover the lid. , End the suspension, continue working, and the rest of the work is handed over to the bread machine for secondary fermentation until the baking is completed.

17. After the baking is completed, the machine will give a "di di" prompt, immediately brush the surface of the bread with melted butter, then take out the bread and brush the sides with melted butter, which can make the bread crust a lot softer, and put it on the grill to cool it down.

Tips:

This time I didn’t wrap the tin foil on the barrel. I chose the “light” burn color. The outer color of the baked bag was a bit darker, but it was not hard at all. Especially after the outer layer was brushed with melted butter, the effect was very good, and the outer layer was very soft. We don’t even try to butter the crust of the bread, but brush it while it’s hot. If you prefer a lighter color, you can wrap the tin foil in the bread bucket, but choose "medium" for the burnt color.



It should be noted that my bread machine, if you select the "standard bread" program, when the weight is 750 grams, there will be a 1-minute mixing and exhaust process between 1:41 and 1:40, and when the weight is 900 There will be a 1-minute mixing and exhausting process between 1:49-1:48. If you choose the "standard bread" program for manual shaping, you must avoid this one-minute mixing and exhausting process, otherwise the shaping will be good. The dough will be messed up, you can use this minute to take out the dough for manual shaping.



If the standard bread mode is used, it is best to knead the dough for 10-15 minutes in advance, plus the machine's default kneading of 25-30 minutes, the total kneading time is 45 minutes, and the kneaded dough at this time can be very easy Pulling out the'glove film' is the best state for toast. Other operations can be left untouched, just use the default program of the machine.
