2.
First put liquids such as milk and eggs in the mixing bowl, then put the sugar and salt in, and finally put in the high-gluten flour and high-sugar-tolerant yeast powder; because the water absorption of flour is different, it is recommended to reserve 10- Add 20g of milk as appropriate.

Tips:
【Production Tips】
Bread flour is recommended to use special wheat flour for bread, high gluten is easy to succeed, and it is easier to knead out the film;
The water absorption of each type of dough will be different. It is recommended to reserve a part of the liquid when mixing, and add it according to the situation during the mixing process;
Kneading dough is the key when making bread. Generally, about 300g of flour is hand-kneaded faster. If you can't knead by hand or if the amount of flour is large, it is recommended to use a bread machine or a cook machine to help knead the dough to make the film easier;
During the dough shaping process, the process of letting the dough relax twice cannot be omitted, because the loose dough can withstand kneading without breaking;
Since the temperature of each oven will be slightly different, the baking temperature and time in the recipe are for reference only, please adjust according to your own oven;
If the toasted bread is not eaten up at that time, it is recommended to put it in a fresh-keeping bag and keep it sealed. It can be stored for about 48 hours. If it is stored for a long time, it needs to be frozen.
