fermented-dough twisted-potato-fritter bread home-style recipe
The weather has grown cold,baking interest significantly increases. The family likes sweet treats, so the bread I make is naturally well-received. beatsoy milk residue leftover from soy milk to use in making bread; not only does it prevent waste but also adds dietary fiber to one's diet.Soy residue consumption can lower cholesterol levels in the blood, and reduce insulin requirements for diabetic patients;the abundant food fiber in soy residue has preventive effects against colon cancer and weight loss, making it a new health food. IngredientsMain ingredients: 350g ordinary flour,
50g of soy residue, 20g of butter, 3g of salt, 15g of almond pieces,15g of raisins, 20g of sugar, and 4g of yeast. Steps 1. Mix the flour, soy residue, yeast, sugar, and salt with a small amount of water to form a dough. 2. Knead by hand, stretching and pulling the dough until it has good elasticity and strength.It's a physically demanding task, but using a bread machine can make this easier.3. The dough should be stretched until it forms a thin membrane. 4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours to ferment.5. Chop the almond pieces and prepare the raisins. 6. Remove the dough from the refrigerator, knead gently to release air bubbles, then divide it into two portions. Shape each portion into a circle and enclose the chopped almonds inside.7. Seal the edges well, and start shaping them into long strips. 8. Roll the strips until they are about 2cm in diameter.
9. Begin braiding the strips into four strands.
Knead the flour, tofu residue, yeast, sugar, and salt with a little water to form a dough.
10. Once braided, divide the braid into three equal parts and seal both ends tightly. Add raisins as decoration on top, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly oiled, allowing for secondary fermentation.
11. Place a bowl of hot water under the baking tray to increase humidity and prevent the bread from drying out during baking.
12. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius; place the fermented bread on the lowest shelf.
Brush the top with egg wash, set the upper heating element at 170 degrees Celsius and the lower one at 150 degrees Celsius, and bake for 20 minutes.
Note that oven temperatures may vary among households,
so monitor the baking process closely to ensure even cooking.
13. The finished bread has a glossy surface and a fine internal structure with no rough texture from soy residue.Tips Low-temperature fermentation produces high-quality bread, rich in aroma, similar to the effects of two-stage fermentation.
With sufficient fermentation time, water can penetrate into the inner layers of flour particles, slowing down aging and extending storage life while saving labor.
10. Braid it into three parts.Make the Twisted Pastry. Divide the braid into three equal sections, tuck in both ends tightly, and sprinkle raisins on the surface for decoration.
Place the proofed bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brushed with oil. Place a basin of hot water below the baking tray to increase humidity during steaming.
12.Preheat the oven to 160°C, place the fermented bread in the lower layer, brush the surface with egg wash, set the upper heating element to 170°C and the lower one to 150°C, and bake for 20 minutes. Oven temperatures vary among households. Keep an eye on it while baking.13. The baked bread has a shiny surface and delicate internal structure with no roughness from the tofu residue.
Tips
Low-temperature fermentation produces high-quality bread with rich aroma, similar to the twice-proofing method, allowing sufficient time for dough to absorb moisture, resulting in slower aging, longer storage life, and reduced manpower.
Low-temperature fermentation produces high-quality bread with rich fragrance, similar to the effect of double fermentation. The dough has sufficient time for fermentation allowing water to penetrate into the inner layers of flour particles, slowing down the aging process and extending storage freshness while saving manpower.
