Method and steps of bread making by bread machine
1. Take the bread bucket out of the bread machine, clean it with water, pour in the stirred liquid such as water, milk or eggs, and prepare the dough.
2. You can choose according to your own taste. If you want to make salty bread, add salt to the corner of the bread barrel. If you like sweet, you can add sugar to the other corner of the bread bucket, and then pour in flour to cover the water with flour.
Don't stir in a hurry, dig a small hole in the flour and pour in the yeast powder. Don't forget the fermentation step, otherwise it will affect the bread making.
4. After everything is ready, put the bread bucket in the bread machine, turn on the power and select the program. According to the program usage of each different bread maker, select the corresponding leavening program, so that you can wait for leavening. Press the start button, the bread maker will start kneading dough, and the rated program for making bread will officially start.
5. The bread machine will stop automatically after stirring for a period of time, and then press the "Start/Stop" key to end this program. Otherwise the dough will start to ferment.
6. After stirring, add softened butter and repeat the procedure of "dough making" until the dough reaches the swelling state.
7. Some bread makers have special functions, such as reservation function. Accessories such as sesame seeds, pine nuts or raisins can be added, depending on the baker.
Matters needing attention in bread making by bread machine
The dough must be in place. Be sure to choose three kneading processes, so that the dough can be kneaded to the swelling stage, and it is best to pull out a film to make the bread softer and better in taste.
Selection of raw materials and ratio of flour to liquid. It is best to use high-gluten flour for flour. The high temperature baking holes of middle and low-grade flour are not shaped, and there are depressions and shrinkage. Yeast must use instant yeast. The fermentation time of ordinary yeast should be more than 3 hours, and the fermentation of bread machine should be completed within 2 hours. Sugar should be melted when adding fruit material to protect the coating. The ratio of flour to liquid is 3: 1, and the reference standard is that it becomes smooth dough after mixing.
Control the temperature during fermentation. The temperature of the first fermentation is usually normal room temperature. If the room temperature is low, it is recommended to put it in a warm place. The temperature required for the first fermentation of dough is 28℃-29℃. For the second fermentation of dough after molding, you can choose the bread machine yogurt program, because the temperature of the bread machine yogurt program is similar to that required for the second fermentation of dough, and the temperature is about 38℃. The fermentation time of dough is not fixed, mainly depending on the fermentation situation. During the fermentation process, you can sprinkle some water in the bread bucket to increase the humidity.
Keep the barbecue hot. Bread baking is also an important part of making bread, and the baking time must be controlled well. This can be decided according to your own preferences. If you like crispy food, you can extend the baking time and choose dark colors. If you still want to eat something soft, you can set the time shorter and choose a light color.
What we introduced above is about the use of bread machine. What are the steps? The matters needing attention in making bread by bread machine should be understood. The making process of bread machine is actually relatively simple. As long as you master some methods and skills, it will be more convenient to operate. So we also introduced some methods for you, I hope you can also use them as a reference.
