Tips:
1. The water absorption of each type of flour is different. You should adjust the humidity of the dough according to your own flour.
2. The degree of gluten up of each flour is also different. You should adjust the kneading time according to different flours. Generally, when making sweet bread, you only need to knead the dough to the expansion stage, and you don't need to knead it to the complete stage.
3. It is important to make bread and kneading, fermentation is important, proofing and exhausting are equally important. Although the production of this bread saves a fermentation, it is necessary to wake up and exhaust after kneading the dough.
4. As long as the dough is well kneaded, the proofing, exhausting, fermentation process and moisturizing work are in place, even if it is only used for one fermentation, it is not difficult to make soft bread.
5. Regarding the exhaust of the dough, you can knead the exhaust by hand or use a rolling pin to exhaust. You can also directly start the dough mixing program for about 15 minutes to exhaust. Exhaust is very important, and the internal organization of the bread with complete exhaust will be very delicate.
6. Each oven is different. The upper space of my Changdi 52W oven is relatively high, so it does not matter if the small meal buns are baked on the upper middle level. If it is a small capacity oven, it is recommended to put it on the lower middle level.
