SLC22 -W2 Bakery Course: Types of dough.
4 comments
Hello Steemians..
🥐Of the types of dough presented in class, which one do you find most interesting and why?
This dough is softer than the dough we made in the previous lesson. Also interesting is that the items made from the sweet dough are more delicious. My children liked the sugar bun made with this dough more than the bread made with the previous dough. The creation process is a little more complex than the previous lesson, but this one is great.
🥐Make a sweet bread, you can follow the recipe given in class or try another one, but it must be sweet without any kind of filling, YES you can decorate it with whatever you want on top (candied fruits, chocolates, grated coconut, sugar, etc.) Document the step by step, and put the date, user and the class label on a poster.
Then let's start..
INGREDIENTS
- Wheat flour 500g (leave 50gms
for sprinkling) - Salt 1 tsp
- Eggs 3 (2 for the dough, 1 for varnishing)
- Sugar 90 g
- Butter 35 g
- Dry yeast 10g
- Warm milk 75 ml
METHOD
- The first thing I did was ferment the yeast and that's how I could make sure our yeast was good and our dough wasn't damaged.
- I used a tablespoon of sugar per 75 ml of lukewarm milk (as much as you can measure the heat with a finger), mixed it well, and added 10 grams of dry yeast.
- To start kneading after the yeast is active, I made a volcano of flour and added sugar, eggs, yeast, salt, butter in the middle of it. Then I mixed it very well.
I knead it well and I let my dough rest and cover until it doubles in size.
- Then I divided the dough into equal balls and then folded them as explained in class.
Then I put them on the baking tray for another 30 minutes. After that, I gave them an egg wash, added sugar on top and put them in the oven.
*The taste and texture was really lovely. There is no reason to go wrong if the recipe given in the course is followed correctly.
🥐Tell us about your experience making sweet bread, did you have any complications, who would you recommend the recipe to and why?
Although I am a beginner, I have not experienced any errors while baking this bread. Actually, I made bread for the children and got a wonderful happy experience.
Also, this bread was sweeter and softer than the bread in the previous lesson. In terms of taste and texture, this bread was softer than the previous dough.
🥐Indicate the price in Steem of a sweet bread equal to the one you made. What is more feasible, making it or buying it? Explain
| iteam | Cost in LKR | Cost in STEEM |
|---|---|---|
| wheat flour 500g | 115.00 | 1.51 |
| Sugar 150g | 30.00 | 0.39 |
| Salt 5g | 10.00 | 0.13 |
| yeast 10g | 30.00 | 0.39 |
| Eggs 3 | 150.00 | 1.97 |
| Butter 45g | 35.00 | 0.46 |
| Milk 150 ml | 150.00 | 1.97 |
| Sugar 150g | 30.00 | 0.39 |
| Total | 550.00 | 7.24 |
A loaf of bread like the one I made in Sri Lanka costs Rs.80.00.It costs 1.05 steem. Now let's have a look at the ingredients list and the approximate cost per quantity used.
made 15 breads at home and it cost me Rs.550.00 (steem 7.24). If I bought that amount from the shop, it would cost me 80.00 x 15 = 1200.00( steem 15.78)
So for me homemade bread is more beneficial.
And it is more satisfying to make them at home. It was a very pleasant experience to make them together with the children during this holiday season. It was also a new experience for the children. I hope that one day when they become adults, they added another warm memory to the memories they have with their mother during the Christmas season. Although we can easily buy bread from bakeries, it is not as good as homemade quality bread for me.
