Bread in a bread maker - general principles and methods of cooking
Baking bread is always an art, even if you are armed with the most modern equipment - a bread maker. If you start baking bread with a good soul and pure thoughts, then bread, like a real “living organism”, will surely listen to your wishes. And for this to happen according to scientific laws, some tips for beginners - how to bake bread in a breadmaker.
The main work cycles of this magnificent sample of household appliances are mixing components, kneading, baking. The dough is raised and the bread is baked, which is kept warm for a while. All ingredients are loaded into the machine manually, and then its further work passes automatically. When our grandmothers kneaded the dough with their hands, they put the brew in a warm place so that bubbles of gas would rise, raising the dough. The furnace itself maintains the temperature and has a separate “batch” program, with deboning and crushing occurring to remove excess gases.
Repeated lifting lasts depending on the type of bread. The process of fermentation, for example, bread with sprouts lasts longer, some varieties rise very quickly. The finished dough can be removed, form the future bread from it and bake in a convection oven. Baking is also automatically adjusted; you only need to set the mode for the degree of crust roasting. “Residual heat” removes excess air, and the crust does not become stiff and thick, even if you leave the bread in the mold for some time, then slowly cool.
