Polka Bread

1. Prepare all materials and tools.

2. Weigh the wheat flour and salt; use 100 grams of water to dissolve the yeast.

3. After adding the dissolved yeast, knead while adding water to form a smooth dough. Do not add a lot of water at once, pay attention to it.

4. Cover with a slightly damp cloth and ferment for 1 hour and 30 minutes for the first time.

5. After the first fermentation, cut the dough in half.

6. Knead into two long smooth doughs, then cover with a slightly damp cloth and let stand for 30 minutes.

7. After that, roll it into an oval shape with a rolling pin, fold it 1/3, and press it firmly with the palm of your hand.

8. Fold the other 2/3 over and press it tightly with the palm of your hand.

9. Then fold it in half and press both the front and back of the palm tightly to arrange the dough into a mallet shape.

10. Line a baking tray with oven paper, put the dough in, and then cover with a slightly damp cloth, and leave for the second fermentation for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

11. Flatten it with a rectangular object (the tray I use). At the same time, pour 50ml of water into another empty baking pan and preheat it to 230 degrees for 5 minutes.

12. Use a razor blade to make polka notches on the dough.

13. Place the bottom layer on the baking pan with water and the third layer on the baking pan with the dough, and microwave for 230 degrees for 25 minutes.

14. I took a look midway, and it started to swell and color when there were ten minutes left.

15. After baking, take it out and let cool.

16. The surface is hard, the sides are crispy, and the inside is softer. I tried it for my friends and they all said it was good ✌️
