Soup Seed Big Tusi

1. Soup type: In baking, it refers to heating flour with water to gelatinize starch. The biggest difference between soup type bread and other breads is that starch gelatinization increases water absorption, making the bread tissue soft and elastic. After adding 20 grams of flour to 100 grams of cold water, stir continuously on the stove until there is resistance, about 60 degrees Celsius, and take it down to cool. That's the soup seed.

2. Put all the ingredients except butter into the bread machine and "knead" at low speed for 15 minutes. To save time, I put them into the bread machine after they are evenly mixed in the bowl

3. After making the dough, add softened butter and knead it at high speed for 20 minutes until it is fully kneaded

4. In the complete stage, the dough can pull out a large film, and the edges of the holes are smooth. Fermentation is the process of protein oxidation in flour, gradually forming a network like structure.

5. The bread machine directly uses the fermentation program to ferment until it is 2-2.5 times larger.

6. Divide the fermented dough into 2 equal parts, gently roll them round, cover them with plastic wrap and let them relax for 15 minutes to awaken the tissue. Do not skip this step. And don't knead it anymore, just roll it round without damaging the dough structure and affecting the drawing effect

7. Flatten the dough and deflate it, then roll it out into an oval shape, fold it 1/3 from bottom to top, and press it tightly.

8. Roll it into a cylindrical shape after flipping it over.

9. Place them separately in the mold and place them in a warm and moist place for secondary fermentation.

10. Fermentation until 8 minutes full

11. Gently brush a layer of egg mixture on the surface afterwards.

Preheat the oven and bake the middle and lower layers at 165 degrees Celsius for about 35 minutes.

13. After baking, let it sit at room temperature for one night before demolding. The freshly baked bread is too soft and moist, and if demolded directly, it will collapse. I have experienced this situation before.
