This is a Jamie Oliver recipe[1] for bread, and I've found that it works very well. The bread is robust and heavy, suitable for eating with butter, jam or even clotted cream[2]!
See here [3] for a photo of me making bread.
Ingredients:
1 oz / 30 g of fresh yeast 1 oz / 30 g of honey just over 1 pint / 625 ml of warm water just over 2 lb / 1 kg of flour (bread flour, wholemeal flour, or a mixture) 1 oz / 30 g of salt
* First of all, mix the yeast, honey and water. * Then put the flour into a large bowl, make a small depression in the flour, and add the yeast/honey/water mixture. * Mix up well until it forms a dough. * Knead [4] the flour for about five minutes until it is thoroughly soft and doughy. * Now take the dough and leave it on a plate in a warm place for about an hour. I find it helps if you put some flour under the dough to stop it sticking to the plate, and also cut a X shape in the top. It will rise and approximately double in size. * Take the dough and bash it to remove the air. (It's a strange step, but Jamie says so, so I do it!) * Now place the dough into a bread tin or other shape and leave it again in a warm place for another hour. * Place it carefully into a pre-heated oven at 190-200 degrees C for about 40 minutes.
強力粉ーkyorikiko
more than 12% protein
often used for making bread
薄力粉ーhakurikiko
less than 8.5% protein
usually used for cakes
Higher protein is needed to develop "gluten" which is the structure of long protein chains that cause bread dough to have its characteristic elasticity.
It's kinf of you to explain.
I can understand.
And I check wholemeal flour
