How to make your first successful bread

When making this dish, you need to prepare the necessary ingredients and make sure that the seasonings are sufficient. You will need to use onions, ginger, garlic, and cilantro. Adding soy sauce, vinegar, and cooking wine before serving can embellish and enrich the flavor, which is the key to the rich flavor of this dish. Sprinkle chopped green onions on the dish after serving.

1. Mix warm water, yeast, sugar and eggs, then add flour and knead. Knead the dough until it is almost evenly kneaded, put it in a bowl, cover it with a wet cloth, and put it on the balcony to ferment in the sun. If the dough has not risen yet, use a pot of warm water (lower than body temperature) and place the dough bowl in the water to continue rising. This approach is generally successful. But be careful not to burn your hands with water. After the dough has risen for the first time, about 1.5-2 hours, take it out and knead it on the chopping board (sprinkle some dry flour on the chopping board in advance to prevent sticking), and then pinch it into 3 balls. Then, let it rise for 15 minutes in the middle, still covered with a cloth. During the fermentation period, soak the raisins in cold water for 10-15 minutes, then drain and squeeze out as much water as possible, set aside naturally for later use. After that, knead and squeeze each lump of dough and use a rolling pin to roll it into a long dough sheet. Sprinkle the squeezed raisins on the dough sheet and then roll the dough sheet into a mallet shape. It was my first time doing it so the shape wasn’t very pretty. Place on a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper.

2. Then cover it with a wet cloth (I used the same one as before, it was almost dried out), and continue to place it in the sun on the balcony to ferment. After an hour, it will grow to this size.

3. While the dough is rising, prepare the batter. Add flour to water and mix well. Heat in an ordinary pot, stirring while heating. When it becomes a paste, it is ready. Let it cool and set aside. Brush the dough with batter before putting it into the oven.

4. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees for 5 minutes. After preheating, place the dough disc in the second-to-last position (lower-middle layer). Bake at 180 degrees for 20 minutes.

5. Halfway through the baking time, I noticed yellow spots on the bread crust. To prevent uneven heating, I immediately cut a piece of tin foil to cover the bread and continued baking. After baking, take it out and let it cool (when it is no longer hot, you should immediately remove it from the baking tray and place it on a cold baking rack to cool naturally).

6. Before putting it in the oven, you should use a knife to cut a few cuts on the dough and add more raisins. I didn't scratch it, and then it just cracked.

The taste of home is probably the taste of the first successful bread. The ingredients and method of this dish are very simple, but it can make people taste the taste of home, attracting countless wanderers.
