I came into contact with the new thing of baking, which came from the resentment of standing for half an hour after a meal without being able to do high-intensity exercise. As for the habit of standing for half an hour after a meal, I can’t remember exactly which month and day it was passed down.

inherent behavior.

In order to have something to do and to satisfy my appetite, when I learned that making my favorite Western-style bread takes about 30 minutes to an hour to knead the dough by hand, I felt that the time could be allocated efficiently, so I started

This is a learning area that I never expected myself to get into.

At first it was purely a matter of killing time, but gradually I started to pay attention to the benefits of baking myself, such as being able to use relatively healthy ingredients, practicing carefulness and patience, and more importantly, being interested in new things and new fields.

perceptions and experiences.

So, let’s first popularize the benefits of home baking from a health perspective.

The picture above shows the nutritional reference indicators and production raw materials of the white toast bread that we can see in the cake shops on the market.

The energy of 1190 kilojoules is equivalent to about 285 calories, which is already in the low-calorie category among baked breads.

The ratio of protein, fat, carbohydrate, and sodium, the four important nutritional sources of the human body, is basically within the acceptable range.

Let’s focus on the production raw materials. The production raw materials are arranged in descending order of content, such as wheat flour, white sugar, shortening, eggs, yeast, etc. In addition to these ingredients that we can distinguish with the naked eye and can be effectively understood by the brain, compound bread improvers

They are things outside the scope of our knowledge. Generally speaking, they are classified as food additives. Generally, they do not have the following categories: color enhancement, flavor enhancement, puffing, and preservatives.

Of course, the above food additives have no obvious harm to the human body under normal conditions, but when consumed in excessive amounts, they are not a pleasant thing after all.

For example, thickener is a kind of polymer protein, which is mainly used to enhance the viscosity of food and can act as a gel. When the intake exceeds the rated limit, it can easily cause harmful symptoms such as increased blood pressure and diabetes.

Generally, home-baked toast does not contain additives such as thickeners or preservatives.

For gourmets who pursue taste, they will of course pursue a more extreme tongue-tip experience, so the ultimate high-end version of the big brother comes to the finale, the butter steak bun.

This time, I just went out of my way to add various additional ingredients to try to tempt the taste buds.

Judging from the nutritional content, while the energy has reached a new level, the proportion of fat has also increased significantly. As for the ingredient content, it is naturally frightening.

Gum Arabic, Guan Hua Bean Gum, Sanxian Gum, do you know these things? Do you need to resort to online searches many times to find a suitable foothold for your restless little heart hanging in the air?

Therefore, while enjoying delicious food, in order to always be healthy and stay with your lover, you still need to think a little bit about finding a balance between the game between your taste buds and your body.

After a lengthy discussion on health science, it’s time to start sharing some of my baking notes.

Because most baking tools and materials are not fully available in offline supermarkets, after several rounds of centralized purchasing by online e-commerce companies, we finally have all the main items needed. But this is just the beginning. As our baking abilities and our own imagination improve,

Simultaneous improvement, the ever-increasing list of goals is the guiding light on the baking pit where energy and money are wasted.

On the first night when all the tools and raw materials were delivered, I tried to make a classic white toast bread with a simple appearance and slightly sweet taste. It was spread with chocolate sauce, matcha sauce or blueberry sauce, or condensed milk.

An enjoyment that I personally highly recommend.

The next step is to complete the making of cranberry muffin cake.

Muffin cake, called Muffin in Western countries, is a must-have snack in people's daily life.

This cake is loved by novice bakers because of its simple preparation process and delicious taste.

Mousse cake is a must-try item in your plan.

As for chocolate mousse, it is the most beloved big-name endorsement among mousse cakes. It was finally made through step-by-step exploration and care, but it was not loved by everyone and I had to digest most of it myself, which made me wonder.

During that time I had an aura of immunity to chocolate.

Later, I tried to make macarons in a very challenging way, but ended up over-baking in the oven and filling the house with smoke.

No matter what, learning the process of cooking and finally making the finished product is always doubly enjoyable.

In addition, there are also some finished products that were repeatedly produced, had poor appearance, forgot to take pictures, or were swallowed directly after being produced in a hurry, so I will not go into details here.

In order to present the various problems that may arise during the baking process and the purity of the final result, all the pictures taken have not been beautified except for a certain proportion of interceptions.
