How to make French bread

Arranging your daily diet is actually a very important part of life, which we should not ignore. It is okay to eat out occasionally, but it is best not to do it too frequently. Cooking by yourself is the best. The method of making Chinese French bread is very simple, and those who want to cook by themselves may wish to learn it.

1. Mix the ingredients and knead into a dough

2. Add water to the pot and bring it to a warm state. Put a pot curtain on it, then put the dough on top and cover the pot. During the fermentation, you can go to the market to buy vegetables. When the dough is fermented to three times the size of the original dough, you can take it out for later use.

3. After the middle dough is fermented, put the main dough into the dough mixer in the order of liquid first and solid second except butter, then tear the fermented middle dough into small pieces and put them into the dough mixer. The middle dough is sticky and difficult to tear, so just put some salad oil on your hands, start the dough mixer and knead for 10 minutes

4. Then add the softened butter and continue kneading for 10 minutes

5. Knead until the dough forms a film. If the dough is sticky or your hands are still sticky, dip your hands in some salad oil to test whether the film has formed.

6. Put the kneaded dough in a pot of warm water for fermentation

7. When the dough has doubled in size, dip your finger in flour and insert it. If the finger does not shrink or rebound when you take it out, it is fermented.

8. After the dough is exhausted, divide it into 6 equal portions and let it rest for 10 minutes. Cover it with a wet towel or plastic bag.

9. Roll the dough into the shape shown in the picture. Apply some salad oil on the rolling pin.

10. Wrap the hot dog in the pan and roll evenly.

11. Use a sharp knife to cut 9 times. Cut the intestines and make sure the surface is somewhat connected. I counted wrong and only cut 8 times, which caused problems later.

12. Shape the cut edges one by one, as shown in the figure.

13. For those who have undergone plastic surgery, the consequence of eight cuts is that they will be single in the end, watching others get married in pairs.

14. Roll the two doughs into thin slices, as shown in the picture. These two are ready to make simple pizza.

15. Roll the last two doughs into long strips and wrap the bacon in them.

16. Wrap the bread in a long strip. Put the shaped bread into the oven, put a plate at the bottom and pour hot water into it. Close the door for secondary fermentation. When the bread ferments to 1.5 times, take out the decoration and prepare to bake.

17. Brush the surface with egg liquid and pizza sauce

18. Then add cheese and beef cubes, cucumber cubes, and finally squeeze salad dressing

19. Brush the surface with egg wash and sprinkle with chopped green onions. I forgot to take a photo of the bacon, but also brush the surface with egg wash, then put a piece of bacon on top, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and squeeze salad dressing.

20. Bake in the middle layer of the oven, 180 degrees, for 17 to 20 minutes. When the surface is evenly colored and does not shrink when pressed, it is ready to be taken out of the oven.

21. The bacon bread was eaten up before I could take a photo

The dishes in the restaurant are delicious, but as long as you put your heart into it, you can also make delicious meals yourself. The Chinese French bread is simple to make and tastes pretty good.
