唔吖

應吃客要求,今天做有餡的,一個肉鬆,一個花生醬。

作法

準備酵母

124g牛奶溶入10g糖,加溫到37ºC後,灑入6g酵母,放置10分鐘到表面發泡即可

製作中種麵糰

  • 480g高筋麵粉加入260g牛奶及以上酵母
  • 把材料用手工混合後,用mixer把麵糰打均勻,到鍋壁不沾麵粉的程度
  • 把麵糰整理好,發酵50分鐘左右,體積膨脹大約三倍
  • 麵糰再整理放一下,放入冰箱,低溫發酵12-20小時

隔天

  • 無鹽奶油切小塊,放軟
  • 從冰箱拿出中種麵糰,馬上分成小塊,混入高筋麵粉、牛奶、糖、鹽,先打勻,再混入無鹽奶油,再打到不沾鍋壁的程度
  • 麵糰分成兩大塊,發酵50分鐘
  • 勻分成六塊,放10分鐘鬆弛一下
  • 桿麵棍桿開,翻面,加肉鬆、或花生醬,捲成長條,放10分鐘鬆弛一下
  • 再桿開,翻面,捲成蝸牛形狀,放入烤盒
  • 放入37°C的烤箱作最後發酵。方烤盒達到九成滿時,蓋上蓋子。山型的就不管咯
  • 烤箱加溫到200°C,烤30分鐘左右
  • 從烤箱拿出立刻倒出烤盒,放在架子上放冷。小心被偷吃😛

葡萄乾吐司

今天嘗試用中種法做葡萄乾吐司。太好吃了,一下子就吃完了。明天再做個雙份的。

作法

  1. 把葡萄乾泡在Bacadi rum裡~隔夜
  2. 把乾酵母跟砂糖混在溫水中~10分鐘
  3. 中種材料全部拌成團~室溫發酵1小時
  4. 把中種麵團放冰箱裡12-15小時
  5. 把酵母跟砂糖溶入室溫牛奶~10分鐘
  6. 將中種與主麵團材料拌勻~使用後油法與鹽以及奶油以外的材料拌至光滑~再加入鹽與奶油拌至光滑且有彈性
  7. 將麵團徒手壓平~在麵團1/2部份放入果乾
  8. 上下對折~稍壓平一下~再左右對折~這兩步驟反覆做約8-10次
  9. 直到果乾均勻分布在麵團其中~葡萄乾不外露於麵糰上
  10. 82ºF續發酵30分鐘
  11. 分割成三份~每份約196克~鬆弛30分鐘
  12. 麵團輕輕桿開~捲起
  13. 捲起的麵團轉向輕擀開~動作要輕~葡萄乾才不會露出來
  14. 入模~98ºF發酵60分鐘
  15. 預熱好約八分滿入烤箱
  16. 350ºF烘烤30分鐘上色即可出爐

材料

中種麵團:
高筋麵粉 210
砂糖 15
水 120
乾酵母 3
主麵團:
高筋麵粉 90
牛奶 75
砂糖 10
乾酵母 1

低溫中種

嘗試低溫隔夜中種法,結果不是很成功。第二次發酵的時候跑出去,回來發現發過頭了。忘了在步驟2之後要讓麵糰在室溫再發一次。直接跳到後發,還讓麵糰發超過兩小時。跟以前一樣,烤之前麵糰有點垮下去。烤出來氣泡有點大。因為加了好多奶油,皮很脆很香,很好吃😋。

作法

  1. 乾酵母溶入牛奶,倒入麵粉中,混成麵糰後放入冰箱12小時
  2. 乾酵母溶入鮮奶油,中種麵糰加入主麵糰材料,打到光滑
  3. 分成三等分,鬆弛,桿麵,捲起,鬆弛,桿麵,捲起,放入烤盒
  4. 發酵90分鐘
  5. 烤350ºF/30分鐘

材料

中種麵糰:
高筋麵粉 240
牛奶 192
乾酵母 350
主麵糰:
高筋麵粉 60
鮮奶油 48
乾酵母 1
糖 20

幸福

幸福就是全家一起煮大餐。上次是2019在溫哥華的聖誕節。那一年我們去找小姑姑過節,振賢一家也去。我們住了一間一應俱全的Airbnb。去Granville Island Public Market買了食材,晚上大家一起煮、一起享受一頓熱鬧的聖誕大餐。

今年全家都打了第三針疫苗,回來後還去做檢測,終於在聖誕節又全家團圓了🎉🎊

從20日開始,小朋友們陸陸續續的回來,在24下午,全家到齊👍。雖然必須取消跟朋友們聚餐,可是少了開車來來去去,也給了我們更多在一起的時間。第一餐我們就從火鍋開場。第二天25日,大戲上場,兩道手工義大利麵,麵包碗愛爾蘭燉牛肉,花園一般的水果生菜沙拉。28日手工pizza。過年後有tiramisu,還有kimbap大餐。今年就是一場不斷的大煮大吃大喝。熱鬧的廚房就是幸福。

Happiness is cooking together. We had not cooked together since the 2019 Christmas in Vancouver. Despite the challenges, we all came home this holiday season. Though we were disappointed that we had to cancel the Christmas party with the usual suspects, we had more time to spend together with less running around. We had hot pot for Christmas eve, home made pasta and lots of sugar cookies for Christmas night, hand made pizza for the 28th, steam fish for the 29th, then an Asian themed dinner for January 2nd. On top of those, we opened more presents than ever this year. Everyone got sweaters or T-shirts from Space X, and we got an U.S.A. map to pin all the places we have been to. While we still cannot party with our friends, this is enough to make up for the last two years.

So Fluffy

Success! After 12 batches, this one is a success, the best one ever.

Exactly 450g of flour left in the bag, just right for one Pullman loaf. Rise in a over with a bowl of steaming hot water for 90 minutes. The dough came out firm and bouncy and easy to work with, not overly sticky at all. Split the dough in two, rest for 15-20 minutes, shaped and placed in the center of the pan. Baked at 360ºF for 30 minutes.

The trick – be patient. Rising the dough too fast produces too much gas and makes rough texture. It also drains the yeast too early and the dough will not rise further during baking.

Full Size

Use 600g flour last Saturday. Started too late and couldn’t finished it in time. The second rise was a mess. Kept the oven at 200ºF with a plastic wrapper over the Pullman pan. The dough raised up to the full height within 30 minutes, then collapsed the moment I pulled off the wrapper.

Made another 600g and still the dough collapsed after the second rise. A little bit googling found out it was a result of over rising and the yeast was exhausted before baking. Next time, rise the dough slowly in room temperature. Used imperial butter instead of sweat butter, what a mistake. The dough came out soggy and sticky after the first rise. Only real butter!

Pullman Loaf

Follow Carol’s suggestion, ordered a Pullman loaf pan from Chefmade on Amazon. Mixed the ingredients by had first before kicking off the mixer. Mixing at high speed for 15-20 minutes seemed to do the trick. The dough reach the 80ºF, but not yet smooth enough. Looked like it only picked up half of the dough. I think 300g flour is a bit too small for the mixer to mix the dough effectively. Nevertheless, the loaf came out very nicely. Next time will use a full 600g four.

吳寶春吐司

這個麵包是用 Carol 給我的吳寶春吐司食譜。第一次實驗,只用一半的份量,用400ºF烤15分鐘。這次用 KitchenAid 攪拌機打麵團。要打到外表光滑,內部80ºF (26ºC)。搞不清楚要用低速還是高速。用低速麵團就是軟趴趴的,用高速會成一團,可是又怕太久溫度太高。慢慢快快的打了快45分鐘,就是打不到光滑的程度。後來 Carol 說如果麵團溫度太高,可以把它放進冰箱一下再繼續打。原來還有這一招。下次用高速打到好。麵包有比較鬆,主要可能還是高筋麵粉的關係。可是還是沒達到台灣吐司的程度。

下次改進:液體部分用手工混好再給攪拌機打;奶油切小塊一點,放軟一點,再加;用高速打。

Made another raisin & craisin loaf Saturday morning. Attempt to 1.5x the size on Sunday.

  • 540 g all purpose
  • 1 3/4 cup water
  • 35 g sugar
  • 12 g salt
  • 6 T melted butter
  • 3 t yeast

Over rise the tough, 2 hours instead of 1. It deflated instantly with a small tap on the bowl. Shaped into three rolls, and the second rise overflowing the pan. Again, deflated quickly with a small agitation. Still not too bad of a loaf.

Restore The Canopy

Always love the majestic look of an oak tree. A few years ago we heard about the Restore the Canopy program but never got around to plant one. Last month we finally brought two red oak saplings home from Crabtree Nature Center. We planted the first one last Monday. Unfortunately, the top got bitten off before the week is over. Planted the second one over the weekend, this time, wrapped a tight wire mesh around it. Must do a Totoro dance to get the tree to grow tall and strong!

Grow strong, little tree!
