自己家做的酸面包真是不一样。你如果你有尝过,还没有试过,我相信,你一定会产生"自己做"的念头。做起来也不算麻烦。
Step 1: Make sour dough starter
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups of milk
1 tsp yeast
In a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine all above and cover with plastic wrap. Poke few holes on the plastic wrap. Let it stand in the room temperature for at least 5 days. You know it is ready when you smell sour.
第一步,做酸面包引子
取一个大的玻璃瓶,加入2杯面粉,2杯牛奶,1小勺YEAST,混合均匀。用塑料纸盖好,上面扎几个眼。常温下放置至少5天。闻到酸味了,就是好了。
Step 2: Make sponge1 cup sour dough starter
2 cups water
2 tsp yeast
2 cups unbleached flour
Measure the sour dough starter, add water and combine. Put flour in a big container. Add all of liquid to the flour. See below pictures:
第二步,做SPONGE
1杯酸面包引子加2杯水,yeast 混合均匀。2杯面粉放入大玻璃盆中。液体和面粉混合均匀。看下图:
Cover it and wait for bubbling.盖好等着发起来。
Step 3: Make dough, shape the dough and raise1/2 cup water
1 tbsp sea salt
~3 cups all purpose flour
Add the water, salt, and 2 cups of the flour to the sponge remaining in the bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon to mix well. Add more flour if it is needed to make a soft dough. (Standmixer does good job for you.) Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead just until smooth. Put the dough on a lined baking sheet. See picture below. Sprinkle some flour on the dough. Cover it with a kitchen towel and let it rise till double.
第三步,做面团在SPONGE中加入1/2 杯水,1大勺海盐和2杯面粉。混合均匀。再加入适量面粉揉成软的面团。我让我家的STANDMIXER来做这项工作。把面团放在扑了纸的烤盘上,撒上些面粉,用厨房TOWEL盖上,放到暖和的地方发面。直到发大2倍以上。
The dough has rise. Use a sharp knife and cut cross on the top. (5 inch long)
面团发好后,用锋利的小刀在上面划个十字,大约5英寸长。
Step 4: Bake the breadPreheat oven to 450F with a baking stone. Put some hot water in a pan and leave it on the bottom of the oven. Mist the dough with water several times. Put it in the oven immediately and bake for 30 minutes. Do not open the oven until you are ready to test doneness. (The bread taste the best if it is baked directly on the baking stone.) Reduce the heat to 400F and continue baking until the crust is dark and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the top, ~25 minutes. (Baking time might varies based on your oven temperature)
第四步:烤面包
烤箱放好BAKING石头加热到450F。烤箱底部放一个加了热水的盆(我用我家的炒菜PAN)。准备好后,在面团上喷几次水,马上放入烤箱中烤30分钟。不要开烤箱门。(在BAKING石头上烤出来的面包最好吃)。然后烤箱温度调低到400F,继续烤到表皮变深,深黄色,轻弹面包,中间听来象是娄空,面包就是烤好了,大约25分钟。(我的烘烤时间是根据我家的烤箱温度来定的,仅供你参考。如果你不知道你的烤箱是否calibrated,烤面包时要注意观察面包的颜色。注意不要烤焦了.)
It is coming out of oven with a tempting fragrance.
面包烤好了带着诱人的香气。
Brush out excess flour. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing.
弹掉多余的面粉,放在架子上冷却,然后再切。
Take a look at the middle of the bread:
看看酸面包中间是什么样子。
It is absolutely delicious with a bowl of lentil soup.
配上一碗热气腾腾的LENTIL汤真是美不盛言!
Or enjoy the bread with butter and honey. The sour dough bread is one of our favorite homemade bread. We can eat it just like this. I hope you like it, too.
或者面包配奶油,蜂蜜,原配更美。酸面包是我们最喜欢的家庭制做面包之一。我希望你也喜欢。
It is normal. I bet you saw the bubbling process, right? That meant it has been fermented. The higher temperature, the faster reaction. If you stir it, you should smell sour, like vinegar. If you see black mold, it is a bad thing. It should be fine if it has separation. Keep your eyes on it since the weather is warm over there. I wouldn't expose it to the sun. Remember, you should keep it in the frig. if you don't use it often. Did I answer your questions?
我要试试。
Sorry, I didn't explain correctly. Baking stone is used for baking good quality bread, especially for flat bread, such as Pizza. It is heated to the temperature you set. The bread will sear the high temperature at bottom first and toward to the center. If you don't have it, the bread will receive the heat from surface. It is easy to brown the outside, but inside bread is not ready yet. Hope this help.
Hi, you can find it in any cooking essential store. I bought mine in William Sonoma. You might find it in Macy, too. It cost ~$30 to $50 depends upon the size. I recommend the square one. Mine is round. I wish I would get square one.
Thank you very much for the receipe. I will definately try it. :)
Sorry, I haven't get chance to finish yet. If you look at closely, it said that under development on the title. It is kind of busy at work. I'll try to finish this weekend. Thanks for visisting!
You wont tell people how to make a starter?
Holding back the secret that when you bake you add water to the pan underneath?
Come on, it is simple but better to teach people right?
