2. When the bread is hard, it can also be softened by steaming. Put the hardened bread in a steamer and steam for 5 to 8 minutes, and the bread will be softened. Remember to cover the bread with a piece of tin foil to prevent the water on the steamer cover from dripping and wetting the bread.
Method of making bread:
1, knead dough. The purpose of kneading dough is to make gluten dough. Gluten is the protein in wheat flour, which determines the structure of bread. Gluten forms flexible filaments in dough, which will block the carbon dioxide gas produced by yeast. The trapped gas will make the bread dough. Sprinkle a thin layer of flour on the panel and knead it. When kneading dough, you must use the strength of your wrist, not your fingers.
2. Push the dough outward with your wrist, then put the outside surface under it and fold the dough in half. Rotate the dough 90 degrees, repeat this process, and add flour as needed to prevent the dough from sticking to the panel. Knead the dough until it feels smooth, soft and elastic when pressed with your fingers (it takes 8 to 10 minutes). Bubbles or blisters will appear under the dough surface.
3. Soak the yeast with little warm water, and then change all the water needed for kneading into milk.
4. Make the dough into a ball and put it in a bowl with a thin layer of oil. Turn the dough ball so that the dough surface is covered with oil. This can prevent the bread surface from hardening and hinder the dough. Cover the bowl with a towel and put it in a warm (2 1 to 24 degrees Celsius) windless place. Let the dough rise until the volume doubles, which takes about 1 hour.
5. Just bake in the oven.
