Happy Friday dear all ~

Once again, when my friend repeated the order with cashier, she told "HONEY DEW" again and we laugh out loud again.... ^.^ What a happy lunch on Friday~

The stunning killer toast ~ (just one proofing)

Saw this popular bread recipe in my phone APP (下厨房) which they call it as "the Stunning Killer Toast" (Original recipe by 曉瑋75-創建於12/11/2014) , super soft and time of making is shorter.

After doing the comparison between the white toast that I previously made with this Stunning Killer Toast:-
1) the proofing method is the same, ONE proofing only
2) liquid : water and milk
3) timing is almost the same
4) tenderness of the bread : almost the same
5) key point is : must knead the dough till window pane stage is formed, then the bread must be soft.


Ingredients:
160g egg+milk (eg. 107g milk + 53g egg)(110g milk + 50g egg)
30g cane sugar (10g if making salty bread)
2g salt (6g if making salty bread) 
260g bread flour
3g (3/4 tsp) instant dry yeast
30g unsalted butter (cubed, cold)

Material required: 1 toast box mould for 450g bread

Method:
By bread machine
1) Place all ingredients except butter into the bread pan according to the above sequence (salt and sugar at opposite of the pan)(make an indention at the centre of the flour and add in yeast).
2) Select 'Dough' program, beat for 10mins, press stop. ( you may use 10mins but i prefer to beat longer time 20mins)
3) Reset to 'Dough' program again, add in butter, beat for 10mins.( you may use 10mins but i prefer to beat longer time 20mins)
4) Remove dough from the bread pan, divide into 3 portions.
5) roll and stretch each dough into flat, then fold into 3 folds, rest for 5 mins. repeat once again.
6) place the doughs into a greased toast box, let it proof.
7) Once the dough proof until 90% (roughly 40mins) full the toast box, close the lid and preheat the oven to 150'C.
8) bake for 50 mins, remove from oven and take out the bread immediately from the toast box.

萬人迷奪命軟吐司
從手機APP 下廚房發現了這個流行的麵包食譜. (原創:曉瑋75-創建於12/11/2014)它被稱為“萬人迷奪命軟吐司” ,超柔軟和製作時間更短這種流行的麵包配方。

作了比較,萬人迷奪命軟吐司 VS 以前做的白土司: -
1 )發酵方法是相同的,一樣是只有一次發酵而已
2 )所用的液體:水和牛奶的分別
3 )所需製作的時間:幾乎相同
4 )麵包柔軟度:幾乎相同
5 )相同的關鍵點是:必須把麵團揉成撐得起薄膜的麵團,那麼麵包就一定牽絲柔軟。

材料:

160克蛋奶:雞蛋+牛奶(如107克牛奶+53克雞蛋)( 110克牛奶+50克雞蛋)
30克蔗糖( 10g如果做咸麵包)
2克鹽( 6克如果做咸麵包)
260克 高筋麵粉
3克( 3/4茶匙)速發酵母
30克無鹽奶油

用具:450克/12兩帶蓋土司模1個

用手揉的做法:
1. 將所有材料(奶油除外)倒入鋼盆中攪拌搓揉成為一個不黏手的麵團
2. 將奶油加入繼續攪拌搓揉成為撐的起薄膜的麵團。

麵包機做法:
1. 將所有材料順次序(奶油除外)倒入麵包桶裡,用“麵團”功能攪拌10分鐘,按停。(我20分鐘)
2. 然後加入奶油,再重複“麵團”功能10分鐘(我20分鐘),攪拌攪拌至能成為撐的起薄膜的麵團。

**
3. 把麵團分割成3等份,分別擀成長方形,將麵團平均折成3等份,擀壓捲起後休麵團5分鐘。
4. 重複擀壓麵團,平均折成3等份,再擀壓捲起
5. 捲好的麵糰收口朝下朝內,間隔適當放入吐司烤模中(刷上一層固體奶油,灑上一層薄麵粉避免沾粘)
6. 用手稍微輕輕壓一下使得3團麵糰高度平均
7. 在麵糰表面噴些水,放在溫暖密閉空間中,旁邊放杯熱水幫忙提高溫度再發酵至9分滿,蓋上蓋子。
8. 放入預熱到150度c的烤箱中烘烤50分鐘。
9. 出爐後馬上倒出放在鐵網架上放涼。
