Is Bread Made in a Bread Machine Not Delicious? It's Because You're Not Using the Right Method! Don't Blame the Bread Machine – Try This!
Many friends often say that the bread in the bakery is not cost-effective, a small piece of bread sells for more than ten or even dozens of yuan, and there are a lot of additives, which is not very reassuring to eat.
So, whenever I have free time, I try to make bread myself at home using a bread machine, which is economical, convenient and nutritious, and most importantly, the taste is no worse than that of the store-bought bread.
Before, I always baked bread in the oven, but many friends, including myself, are not good at kneading dough, and it's easy to make a mess, wasting flour in vain.
In recent years, I have started to use a bread machine to make bread. I use a fully automatic one, which saves time and effort, and can make bread in one go, and the yeast box is also separated.
Below, I will introduce you to my usual bread recipe.
This recipe is quite popular, and my friends say it's delicious haha.
Ingredients:
High-gluten flour 250g
Fine sugar 38g (can be adjusted according to personal taste, I have never added it, the minimum is reduced to more than 15g
Instant dry yeast 3g
Salt 3g
Cream cheese 50g (can be increased according to personal taste, I have added a maximum of 80g
Egg 1 + Milk 145g
Butter 20g
Steps: 1. Put all ingredients except butter into the bread pan, in the order of liquid first and solid second (such as first putting eggs, milk, cream cheese, then salt, sugar, flour, yeast), note that salt and yeast must be separated, otherwise salt will fight with yeast and kill the yeast, your bread will not come out.
2. Set a kneading program. My bread machine uses program 12 for dumpling dough, let it knead the first program for 3. After the first kneading program is finished, cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the bread pan. My bread machine has a separate yeast box, so at this time put the yeast into the yeast box and set a soft bread program (other brands of bread machines may be 'and dough/sweet bread/standard bread'), select the corresponding browning degree and whether to add fillings (dried fruit) settings, start.
4. Just do what you have to do, wait for the bread to come out~~ 5. When the bread machine finishes the prompt sound, immediately open the bread machine, use insulated gloves to take out the bread pan, invert to take out the bread.
Points to note:
- Remember to add yeast!! And it must be high-sugar yeast!
- Don't randomly change the recipe, the butter and other ingredients cannot be replaced with corn oil casually.
- Regarding flour, most brands are similar as long as it's high-gluten.
