Let's talk about the method of dry hair. Dry hair refers to mixing yeast and flour separately before making dough, so that yeast can ferment slowly at a lower temperature. This method is suitable for hot weather or tight time.
The specific operation steps are as follows:
Pour the yeast powder into a container, add a little warm water, stir well, and let it stand for 5 minutes after the yeast is completely dissolved.
2. In this process, prepare flour and other materials that need to be fermented.
3. Pour the dissolved yeast solution into the flour and stir it evenly by hand or tool. Be careful not to add too much water to avoid affecting the texture of the dough.
4. After mixing evenly, put the dough in a warm place for primary fermentation, which usually takes 1-2 hours. At this time, the temperature is preferably between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius.
5. In the fermentation process, the dough can be kneaded as needed to promote the formation of gluten and improve the elasticity of dough.
6. When the dough is fermented to twice the size, it can be kneaded and shaped for the second time, and then put into a baking tray for final fermentation.
7. Bake in a preheated oven at the right temperature and time.
Next, talk about wet hair. Wet hair refers to dissolving yeast in water, adding flour and immediately stirring to make dough. This method is suitable for cold weather or when you want to make spaghetti quickly.
The specific operation steps are as follows:
Pour the yeast powder into the container, add appropriate amount of warm water and stir evenly, and let it stand for 5 minutes after the yeast is completely dissolved.
2. In this process, prepare flour and other materials that need to be fermented.
3. Pour the dissolved yeast solution into the flour and add appropriate amount of water. You can add a little salt, sugar and other seasonings as needed.
4. Stir quickly and evenly with hands or tools until the dough is shaped.
5. After mixing, put the dough in a warm place for fermentation, which usually takes 30 minutes to 1 hour. At this time, the temperature is preferably between 35 and 40 degrees Celsius.
6. In the fermentation process, the dough can be kneaded as needed to promote the formation of gluten and improve the elasticity of dough.
7. When the dough is fermented to twice the size, it can be kneaded and shaped for the second time, and then put into a baking tray for final fermentation.
8. Bake in a preheated oven at the right temperature and time.
There are two main methods of dough mixing with old yeast: dry hair method and wet hair method. Dry hair is suitable for hot weather or tight time, and wet hair is suitable for cold weather or when you want to make spaghetti quickly. No matter which method you choose, the key is to control the temperature and time, so that yeast can give full play to its role under suitable conditions and make soft and delicious pasta.
