A lot of bread is high in sugar and oil, and although it tastes good, it can't be eaten often. From time to time, make some of this sugar-free and oil-free bread with simple ingredients and simple methods, which is still very good as a staple in breakfast.
Some people always say that making bread is too complicated, but in fact, making bread at home, as long as the main ingredients are correct and how you want to do it, you can adjust it according to your preferences. As for whether to use an oven or an air fryer, it depends on what tools you have at home, and you can bake them.
I put a lot of red dates and cooked black sesame seeds in this bread, sweet and delicious, especially put it in the cold slices, and then put it in the air fryer or oven to heat it, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is, two breads at a time, are not enough for our family to eat for breakfast. It's not difficult to do, let's take a look at the detailed production process!
【Red dates and black sesame European bag】
Ingredients: 180g milk, 1 egg, 2g salt, 250g high-gluten bread flour, 2.5g high-glucose resistant yeast powder, 20g cooked black sesame seeds, 40g chopped red dates.
Method: 1. Prepare the raw materials for making bread;
2. Put the milk, eggs and salt into a small basin, stir well, then add high-gluten bread flour, high-sugar resistant yeast powder, cooked black sesame seeds, chopped red dates, continue to stir until there is no dry powder, cover and let stand for 30 minutes;
Note: The flour will be sticky, just mix it with a spatula, don't get started;
3. The resting dough has a certain gluten, but it is not enough. Dip your hands in some water, pull up the dough from one side, stretch it out and press it down to the middle. Pull up and fold on all sides, turn it over with the smooth side facing up, continue to cover and let it rest for 30 minutes to rest the dough.
4. The dough is left to stand again, and the gluten of the dough is better at this time, and the dough can be pulled up from one side, which can pull out a large piece of film that is not easy to break, and it is not very sticky. Or dip some water on your hand, and then continue to pull it up from one side and press it down to the middle to fold.
5. Pull a circle around to form a new dough, smooth side up, cover with a lid, put it in a warm place to rise to twice the size, the fermented dough volume is puffy, and there is a honeycomb inside.
6. Take out the dough, put it on the kneading mat, sprinkle some dry flour to prevent sticking, if you make one, just operate it directly, if you make two like me, divide the dough into two pieces.
7. Press one piece of dough flat by hand, fold it from both sides to the middle, adjust the direction, continue to press and flatten a little, and then fold it from both sides to the middle.
Note: Don't press and fold too hard, just gently. If you exert too much force, the gluten will be broken, and the bread will not taste good.
8. After folding, pinch both ends tightly, and then rub a little longer with both hands, and a bread embryo is ready.
9. After the two bread embryos are ready, put them on the oil paper respectively. Preheat the air fryer to 80 degrees in advance, for 10 minutes, the fryer stops preheating, put the bread embryo in the air fryer, and ferment for 30 minutes. After the fermentation is over, take it out, the volume becomes larger, sieve the flour on the surface, and cut a few small openings with a knife;
10. Set the air fryer to 155 degrees, bake for 25 minutes, you can smell the aroma of the bread, when the time is up, pull out the frying basket, see that the surface color is not bad, turn the bread over, continue to 155 degrees, and bake for another 10 minutes.
Because the air fryer is heated differently from the oven, the surface is cooked, but the bottom is not necessarily cooked, so turn it over and continue to bake.
If you use the oven to make it, set the upper and lower heat to bake, so you don't have to turn it over.
Two fragrant red dates and black sesame bread are ready, put them on the drying net to dissipate heat, and it is very fragrant to eat while it is hot, but it is not easy to slice.
This method can be said to be very simple, no need to knead the dough hard, do not need too many complicated ingredients, just the common materials at home. Red dates and black sesame seeds can also be replaced with other dried fruits, and the taste will not be bad.
Some friends may want to ask, is it okay to use ordinary flour? The gluten of ordinary flour is not as good as bread flour, you can do it, you may have a worse taste, if you don't mind, you can give it a try.
Personally, I think that bread is not complicated, so I think of it as a big steamed bun that we often eat, but the steamed bun is steamed, the bread is baked, and the water content is slightly larger. If you like this recipe, give it a try!
