When you first started baking, who didn't rush to success with a passion for it? However, too many people are confused by "recipe, temperature, method" and so on, and they have completely given up after failing twice. I was the one who failed and didn't give up, so I went all the way to today, from the baking white who couldn't do anything at the beginning to the lecturer who taught at the baking school for three years today.
With like-minded friends in Tiannanhaibei, there is also a baking group of more than 600 people. Every day, the group of friends share the fruits of their labor, share their happiness and troubles, like a happy and harmonious big family. I'm lucky to have you guys.
Cake bread is something we usually like to eat. Today's bean paste flower bread is what I often make, this bread square I have used for 9 years, never failed, soft and drawn, more than 600 people in the group followed to learn, all said too simple.
Bread looks like a flower, beautiful and delicious, watching the friends make successful bread, really happy for them.
This is just a basic recipe, you can change the taste on this basis, and the filling can be changed to your favorite, such as date paste, jam, taro paste, meat floss, cheese... Do as you please. As long as you learn the basics, everything else will be.
Let's take a look at our bean paste flower bread making method!
——【Bean paste flower bread】——
【Ingredients】: 300 grams of high gluten flour, 160 grams of milk, 20 grams of butter, 30 grams of caster sugar, 2 grams of salt, 1 egg, 3 grams of high-sugar yeast, bean paste filling to taste
【Decoration:】A little egg yolk liquid, black sesame seeds to taste (egg yolk liquid and black sesame seeds are used for decoration)
【Preparation steps】:
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients you need, eggs, milk, salt, sugar, high gluten flour, high-sugar yeast, and put them into the chef's mixing tank in order, except for butter. Friends who don't have a cook machine can use a bread machine, or knead by hand (a bit laborious).
After kneading the dough for 5 minutes, turn off the cook machine and allow the gluten to form naturally. After 5 minutes of standing, add butter and start the cooking machine 3 gear again for 10 minutes, this method is easier to produce the film.
This bread is still soft without the glove film, and it is of course better to knead the glove film. Glove film must be flexible and not easy to break, if it is a film that is broken by a light pull, it is not qualified, for many reasons, such as: flour is not qualified, excessive kneading, pulling too hard and so on.
Step 2: Put the kneaded dough in a warm place, ferment to 2 times the size, use your fingers to stick the flour to poke a hole in the middle of the dough, and the hole does not retract and does not collapse, indicating that the degree of fermentation is just right.
If it collapses, it means over-fermentation, and if it retracts, it means insufficient fermentation.
Step 3: Take it out and put it on the kneading pad, if the dough is sticky, you can add a little less flour. After adequate exhaustion, divide into 9 doughs of equal size, cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 15 minutes.
Step 4: Prepare the bean paste filling and divide into bean paste balls, about 25 grams each. Roll out the dough into a thick round dough with a thick middle and a bean paste.
Step 5: Tighten the mouth tightly to prevent the bean paste stuffing from bursting when baking, which is not good. Press slightly flat, taking care not to push too hard, and be careful to break the skin.
Step 6: Gently roll out with a rolling pin, divide into 8 parts equally, and pinch each small part to form 8 petals.
Step 7: The other doughs are the same, all done in the oiled baking sheet, pay attention to the spacing, because the second fermentation is also necessary, the bread blank will become larger.
Step 8: The bread blank of such flowers has been fermented, and it looks much fuller and more elastic. Brush the middle with egg mixture and sprinkle with black sesame seeds to garnish the hearts. Put in the preheated oven and bake at 180 degrees on high and low for 20 minutes.
It should be noted that the temperature of each oven is different, and it should be adjusted according to your usual baking habits. The smaller the space, the higher the oven temperature, and the more accurate the oven temperature with the larger the space.
You see, this is baked bread, like a flower, soft and brushed, delicious and beautiful, and the child likes it. If you can't finish eating for a while, wait for it to cool, seal and store it, but do not refrigerate it, you can freeze it. Because the bread begins to age slowly the moment it comes out, that's why we don't put bread conditioners in our own bread and harden after two days. But the bread made by yourself, eating within two days is still no problem, put frozen can be stored for ten days, when eating in advance to take out the thaw.
I've been using this recipe for 9 years, and it has basically never changed or failed. You can add other flavor changes on the basis, such as cocoa powder, matcha powder, it doesn't matter if you add a small amount, if it is too much, just reduce the corresponding flour.
