What can the French stick do to make the opening better?
If you want the baguette to look good, you must pay attention to the order of cutting, first vertical and then cross-cutting. This feeling is like gouging out your face, but don't gouge out.

For example, spit out a piece of meat, but the skin is still attached. That's the feeling. Such a long incision will look good. If you only cut the opening vertically, it will be flattened and become a pattern. Strictly speaking, it is unqualified.

Formula: 450g high-gluten flour, 50g low-gluten flour, 7g yeast, 5g sugar 10g salt, 290g butter 10g water.

Production method:

1. Add 90g of water to the yeast and stir until the yeast melts. Mix low-gluten flour and high-gluten flour, add sugar and salt, and stir well. Butter softens at room temperature. Add the remaining water into the mixed flour, and then add yeast water to make dough. Add softened butter and knead until the butter and dough are completely mixed. Put the dough into a fresh-keeping bag and freeze it in the freezer for 20 minutes.

2. Take out the frozen dough and knead it until the surface is smooth, cover it with a wet towel and relax for 20 minutes. Divide the dough into small dough with uniform size, knead the dough once, cover it with wet towel to relax for 10 minute, knead it again, and cover it with wet towel to wake it up for 20 minutes. Roll the proofed dough into a strip, and tie it into a strip with the root of your wrist.

3. Adjust the fermentation function in the oven, add a small cup of boiling water to increase the humidity, add the prepared bread and stir for 30-40 minutes. Take out the bread when it reaches 1.5, and then draw a small mouth on the bread. Then put it in the oven and continue to ferment until it is twice as big. Take out the fermented bread and brush the surface twice with water, or spray water twice with a small watering can. Wait for the first time to dry before spraying the second time.

4. Preheat the oven to 265,438+00 degrees, lower it to 200 degrees, put it at the bottom of the oven and bake for about 20 minutes. Baking baguettes in hotels requires steam in the oven. Most hotel ovens have water spraying function. If there is no water spraying function, fill the oven with water. French sticks can be made at home, and the length is about 30 cm, because the oven in China is relatively small.

Tip: baguette is a staple bread. In western food, you can only eat bread when you eat vegetables or soup, which is a bit like steamed bread in our mutton soup. Pay attention to the cutting stick, and the knife must be sharp, so that the cut bevel will be perfect. The baguette sold outside is cylindrical, because there is a special baking tray.
