Bread maker is a common small household appliance in our current life, and many people use it to make delicious cakes in their spare time. But it is often a matter of will, and it will not succeed without several failures. Many people blame the toaster. In fact, preparation of raw materials is also very important. So what should you pay attention to when making bread with toaster? This article is a brief introduction for everyone!

First, understand flour.

The step of making bread is to choose the right flour. Many people think that any kind of flour can be used to make bread, but it is wrong. To make bread, you need to use high-gluten flour, which is one of the keys to delicate bread organization. High gluten flour refers to flour with a particularly high content of protein, which is generally above 1 1.5%, with an average of 13%. Only such flour can be used as the raw material for making bread.

Second, stir the flour.

Many times, the reason why we can't make bread is that we don't have enough stirring. After adding water to the flour, protein in the flour will gradually gather to form gluten through continuous stirring. The longer the stirring time, the more gluten is formed. Gluten can wrap the air produced by yeast fermentation, forming countless tiny pores. After baking, protein solidifies to form a solid structure, which supports the bread structure.

Thirdly, dough fermentation.

Fermentation is a complex process and needs proper control. Insufficient fermentation, small size, rough texture and insufficient flavor of bread; Excessive fermentation will make the dough sour and sticky, making it difficult to operate. Unless we are in a hurry, we can stir the dough, shape it, ferment it once and bake it. At other times, secondary fermentation is needed. Because the product fermented once, no matter its texture or flavor, can't be compared with the product fermented twice.
