French bread

Overview

French bread is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with uneven texture and uneven distribution of bubbles. The recipe is very simple compared to bread, but personally I think it is also the most difficult. The oil-free and sugar-free healthy formula only contains salt and yeast, which can bring out the original flavor of wheat flour. I really like French bread and I don’t feel burdened to eat it any time. But so far, I still haven’t mastered the making skills of this bread very well, especially the cutting of the bread. Hey, it’s really hard for me, and I can’t cut a nice pattern. Dear friends, please help me if you have any tips

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Put all ingredients into bread bucket. Although I am not good at making baguettes, this recipe is from a well-known store, so you can rest assured to refer to it.

  2. Stop kneading for about 5 minutes and let the dough rest naturally for half an hour. Because this dough requires a kneading temperature of 23 degrees, the temperature in my kitchen is already about 28 degrees, so I turned on the air conditioner in the living room and kneaded the dough

  3. Then continue kneading the dough until it reaches the expansion stage.

  4. This dough requires a fermentation temperature of 28 degrees, so I fermented it at room temperature in the kitchen until it doubled in size.

  5. Divide the fermented dough into 3 parts, cover it with a slightly damp cloth and let it sit for 10 minutes. Cover the dough directly with a cloth. There is a little stain on it, but it is basically not damaged
