Patterned toast is the joy of winter

Overview

Christmas is the most anticipated holiday in the cold winter. When I was a child, I always dreamed that Santa Claus would come to my house one day. Every Christmas, I would pester my parents for gifts. My mother always tells me with a smile, go to sleep, baby, as soon as you wake up tomorrow morning, Santa Claus’s gift will be delivered. Although I knew the gift was from my parents, I still took a pair of socks and put them on the bedside at night. Wake up in the morning with a surprise gift stuffed in your stocking! I cheered like a happy bird: Long live Santa Claus! I was silently grateful to my parents for their care and love.

  11. The default fermentation time of the program is 2 hours. Fermentation time is not static and will vary with seasonal temperatures. But you can grasp the key points by observing the state of the dough. When the dough has risen to 2-2.5 times its original size. We dip our fingers in a little flour and poke the dough. When the dough does not shrink or collapse, it means it has risen just right. If it shrinks, it proves that it has not been sent enough, and if it collapses, it proves that it has been sent too much.
