Alkaline Short Stick

Overview

Alkaline water packets originating from Germany are also called beer bread. Because the alkaline water packets contain very little water, the finished product tastes tough and dry, and it is easy to choke if eaten directly. Many Germans use alkaline water packets with beer. This combination can not only neutralize the acidity of beer, but also play a very good protective role in the stomach. It is said that it can achieve the effect of not getting drunk after a hundred cups. Regardless of whether it is true or not, this bread is really delicious, especially for babies who don’t like sweet breads. They will fall in love with it after eating it once! Today I will show you how to make it. If you like it, you might as well give it a try with Greedy Mao!

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare the ingredients. Use ice water for water. This will prevent fermentation while kneading the dough!

   

2. 2 Put all the ingredients into the mixer, mix the powder and liquid at low speed first, then turn to high speed to knead the dough. It took me about 18 minutes.

   

3. 3 It is enough to knead the dough until it can pull out the membrane and the holes are jagged. Because the dough does not have much moisture, there is no need to knead out the glove membrane, and it is also difficult to knead it out.

   

4. 4 Divide the dough into 4 equal parts, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator to rest for 15 minutes. The portion here can be made into 4-6 small sticks. Just divide according to the size of the baking pan.

   

5. 5 Take out the relaxed dough, take one piece, and roll it into a long tongue shape. If you see any bubbles, pat them away.

   

6. 6 Roll it up from top to bottom, pinch it tightly, and roll it into an olive shape. When shaping, try to keep the size and length consistent.

   

7. 7 Place the kneaded dough into a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper, and place it directly in the freezer of the refrigerator to freeze for at least 1 hour. You can bake it overnight if possible.

   

8. 8 Take out the frozen bread and leave it at room temperature for about 15 minutes. At this time, start to adjust the alkaline water. Pour the alkali into the water and stir gently to melt. Remember to pour the alkali into the water. Don’t make a mistake in the order. The alkaline water is corrosive and harmful to the skin. Wear gloves during the entire operation. Remember!

   

9. 9 Wearing gloves, pick up the dough and put it into the alkaline water. Soak both sides for about 20 seconds. Drain the dough and put it into a baking pan lined with oilcloth. Use a bag cutter to quickly cut two slits. It should be deep, fast and accurate. If you cut slowly, the final slit will not look good.

   

10. 10 Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. I use a daogrs steam oven, so I preheat it in the steaming mode with steam. After preheating, turn to the upper and lower tube modes, and quickly put the bread into the oven while there is steam, which can achieve the effect of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. After putting it in the oven, bake it at 200 degrees for about 23 minutes.

    

11. 11 The baked bread can be eaten cold. It is particularly fragrant and the texture is very different from ordinary bread. The honey-brown shell and snow-white interior are super tempting. If you have never tried it, come and give it a try.
