The plain bun is very simple and elegant, knead into small balls to form a Christmas tree. After baking, fry a few small snowflake paper pieces and put them on the bread. Sprinkle a little powdered sugar to serve as winter snow. It immediately has a Christmas atmosphere. Up. However, good bread is the right way.
To make bread, we must use high-gluten flour. It is best to use a clearly labeled bread flour, because only those with a protein content of more than 13% can make delicious bread. The high-gluten flour labeled as dumplings and steamed buns in supermarkets has a protein content of up to 11%, which is far from good bread flour. Good flour is the characteristic of wheat itself, and it is not obtained by various additives. The Arowana Baking Powder I use is the official designated baking powder for the 2018 China International Family Baking Masters Competition. "

Leave room for expansion between each dough ball; you can send the baking pan and the green dough into the oven In the middle, put a bowl of hot water to increase the humidity, and natural fermentation is fine, if the temperature is set to not exceed 35 degrees;
