Is Bread Always Made Badly? [Comprehensive Summary of Bread Baking Techniques] Helps You Solve Baking Problems

Since I posted the bread tutorial video

I received countless bread assignments

The same bread recipe

Some people's assignments

It seems like the class representative's assignments

Some assignments

It might have been made when the oven was in a bad mood

Today, let's summarize the tips for baking bread

1. Precise measurements are key to baking!

Baking is not like making stir-fry or other dishes

A little or approximately can be okay

Baking ingredients must be precise

This ensures that the bread you make

Each time the effect is stable and the same

So, if you want to make good baking

An electronic scale is essential

2. Is the dough too thin? Or too dry?

Let's learn how to view the tutorial video techniques!

Different brands of flour

Even if they are all high-gluten or medium-gluten flour

The protein content of the flour is also different

Which is also known as 'elasticity'

The most direct problem is

Different flours have different water absorption capacities

This is also the cause of the dough being too thin or too dry

Let's teach you a trick

When watching any baking tutorial video

The key is to observe the dough's viscosity in the video

When you make it yourself

You should copy the viscosity of the dough in the video

It is recommended that you use the recipe quantity and slowly add water or the required liquid

This allows you to flexibly copy the viscosity of the dough according to your flour

To make the same effect bread

3. Strictly following the video or still a 'failure'?!

Fermentation temperature is often a 'failure' leader

Many people strictly follow the baking video and still fail

So you need to consider the fermentation temperature

European families generally have temperature control

So the temperature in the house is constant

If your room temperature is low

You need to extend the fermentation time or use the fermentation method taught in the video

Any baker will tell you

Time is the best seasoning for bread

So don't rush

Try to let the dough ferment fully

More details will be shared later

How to check if the dough has fermented well

4. The bread surface is burnt, and the inside is not cooked?!

As mentioned in the video

Different ovens are different

Some ovens concentrate the heat in the heating tube part

And the difference in the oven seal effect

Will cause uneven heat distribution in the oven

This is the difference between a good oven and a bad oven

To solve this problem

You need to be patient

Reduce the oven temperature

Extend the baking time

Use the same recipe to experiment a few times

Find the best baking time and temperature for your oven

5. Why doesn't the bread take shape?!

Besides the methods mentioned above

If the bread doesn't take shape

You can gently knead it before putting it in the oven

Then make the bread take shape for 20 minutes

There is also a solution

Place the bread in a bread basket

Which is a very good shaping method for relatively thin dough

You can also choose different shapes according to your preferences

6. Why is the bread not beautiful when cut?!

There is also a big difference in the cutting flower before baking

It is recommended that you buy a professional cutting knife for 10 yuan

You can see it in my future bread videos

Some doughs

Such as French baguette dough, can only be used with a cutting knife

When you make a beautiful bread

Don't ruin it with a random knife

The beauty of bread

Also please use a bread knife to cut the bread

The serrated edge of a bread knife

Can make the edges of the bread cut completely and beautifully

7. Why does the bread taste salty?!

Each brand of salt has different salinity

And different types of salt

The salinity is also different

So everyone should adjust the salt in the bread according to the salt used
