I make my own buns and bread. Generally speaking, when using the same yeast, the bread process is much more troublesome than the buns. Bread requires very high kneading requirements. The dough needs to be kneaded to produce gluten and membrane, so as to ensure that the finished bread can be stringy, tight and soft. However, buns do not need to be kneaded in this way. Kneading them for a while will make them taste better, and kneading them for a while will not make much difference. Making steamed buns is relatively simple. If you want to eat steamed buns at night, sacrifice a little bit of taste and skip the step of making them. At 5pm, you can start kneading the dough, making fillings, wrapping, fermenting and steaming, and you can have them by 6pm. Adding an additional 40 minutes to the one-shot process, the production cycle takes about one and a half hours. Making bread takes a long time and involves many steps. It takes 30 minutes to mix and knead the dough, 40 minutes for the first rise, 20 minutes for resting and shaping, 30 minutes for the second rise, 15 minutes for baking, and two hours for making the base. It may not be finished yet, and it is very slow. People can't go out. Even when baking, they have to monitor the coloring status at all times, and their spirits are always tense.
If the bread machine kneads the dough well, and if it is kneaded by hand, most people can knead it for at least half an hour before it is ready for making bread. This is just the simplest way to make bread, not to mention soup, medium, refrigerated, and natural yeast. The fermentation time will increase from 1 hour to 1 day, or even several days. If the cost of raw materials is not much different, then the cost of making bread is more expensive. At the beginning, I mentioned that such a panettone would cost eighty or ninety yuan, which is a real price. In the process of making bread, you can change its flavor by adding various materials. Various dried nuts and fruits, butter and cream also need to be fermented three times. A kneading machine, fermentation machine, and oven are required. These are the reasons why it is better than meat buns. The reason why it is expensive. But in the final analysis, bread and meat buns are still two kinds of food. You can’t say which one is more expensive and which one is better. Eat panettone with coffee, and eat meat buns with fried liver. Life will be really interesting. .
