Chinese hand-shredded Hokkaido toast

Overview

Since I was very lucky to try out the Dongling bread machine, I have made several loaves and I feel that each one is improving. Next, let’s try the most commonly used kneading function of the bread machine. It is very advantageous to use a bread machine to knead this Hokkaido toast, because the medium-sized dough has risen and is torn into small pieces. After adding the main dough ingredients, the dough will become very sticky at one point. If I want to knead it by hand, kneading to this step must be the most crazy stage. But with a bread machine, it is different. Let it finish the wet and sticky work beautifully. This is my favorite among the several breads I have made. It is super soft and has obvious stringiness. It is the most enjoyable to tear it off piece by piece with your hands. Every time I make it at night, I can’t help but taste a piece. It is super soft when I tear it with my hands, but it has a certain chewiness when eating. The milky aroma is also very strong. I like it very much.
