What are some simple ways to make bread at home?

I believe that bread is a must-have food for breakfast in many families. In the morning when time is tight, eating a piece of bread not only saves time but is also very nutritious. Bread contains many vitamins needed by the human body. Eating bread regularly can supplement the body's nutritional elements. So it is necessary for us to learn how to make bread at home, so let’s learn the method of making bread together below!

overall:

1. Taste of finished bread: slightly sweet, almost tasteless, low in oil, low in sugar, without any additives

2. The taste of the finished bread: no different from commercially available bread, the internal structure of the bread is excellent

3. Finished bread appearance: perfect toast shape, no collapse, perfect crust

4. Storage time of finished bread: Put it in a sealed fresh-keeping bag, and it can be kept for more than 48 hours at room temperature in summer without affecting the taste. It will not be dry or loose. You can make one bread for two breakfasts, and you don’t have to make it every day!

1. Equipment:

ACA MB500 Bread Maker

2. Ingredients (applicable to all seasons, all temperatures, south and north):

1. 1 cup of Guchuan brand strong flour (commonly known as high-gluten flour) from Beijing Guchuan Flour Company. Of course, you can also use other brands of high-gluten flour, or even ordinary whole wheat low-gluten flour, or dumpling flour. This program does not have high requirements for flour, and only 1 cup of flour is needed to make a large toast bread that is close to a full bucket!

2. 110ml pure milk, or 110ml cold boiled water, or 110ml milk powder + cold boiled water (depending on your preference, choose one of the three)

3. Half teaspoon of salt

4. 2 tablespoons sugar

5. 1 tablespoon of any vegetable oil or natural butter (you can choose any of the two). Do not use margarine. Although it is cheap, it contains trans fatty acids that cannot be absorbed by the human body and will be deposited in the blood vessels. Cardiovascular disease is waiting for you:)

6. Half a teaspoon of Angel highly active dry yeast

3. Production Procedure

Step 1: Mix flour, water or milk, sugar and salt and put into bread machine

Step 2: Use the "Regular Bread, Dark, 750g" program and stir the dough for half an hour (you will hear a prompt sound when the time is up), then restart the same program and stir the dough for a second half an hour. When you hear the prompt sound, stop the program and let the dough sit for at least an hour (longer is also fine) to promote gluten formation (at least 7 or 8 cm long noodles can be pulled out with chopsticks, and the best is to be able to pull out a thin film with both hands. In fact, you don't need to check when making it, there will definitely be no problem)

Step 3: Add oil and start the "Normal Bread, Dark, 750g" program. Knead the dough for 10 minutes or until the oil is basically mixed with the dough. Stop the program, make a hole in the flour, add Angel Highly Active Dry Yeast, and seal it.

Step 4: Start the "Normal Bread, Dark, 750g" program and continue cooking until the bread is ready.

Step 5: Place the bread in the bread pan to cool naturally. The crust of the freshly made bread is slightly hard and the oil has not yet been completely absorbed from the surface. After cooling naturally, the surface will be perfectly formed. Generally speaking, bread made at any time after 17:00 is in the best condition for eating when you wake up the next morning.
