“Let’s start kneading noodles!”
Lin Xu ate a caterpillar bread and two soft and delicious filled donuts. He originally wanted to try croissants again, but he couldn't eat them, so he had to give up and start learning about common dried fruit ribs.<
/p>
This is the most popular riba in China. It has a strong satiety, full of wheat flavor, and a faint taste of milk and honey. In addition, it is wrapped in various nuts and preserved fruits. Many people like it very much.
.
Especially for office workers, buy a Leba and put it in the office. When you don't have time to eat in the morning, put it on the table and have a cup of hot tea to last until lunch.
Much better than eating takeout.
Moreover, if you eat takeout in the office, you will sometimes be disliked by colleagues or leaders.
But eating Leba does not have this problem at all.
"The bread we eat now in China is purely nut bread. The hardness of bread is much lower. The bread in Russia can smash walnuts and nails. The bread we eat in China is just ordinary bread with a strong texture."
Yuan Debiao brought over half a basin of high-gluten flour and began to prepare Leba.
Leba needs to be made with high-gluten flour, whole wheat flour or rye flour, so that it tastes good and has a full wheat flavor.
If you use all-purpose flour or low-gluten flour, you won't have the chewy texture of Leba, which will make it less interesting.
After the flour was ready, Yuan Debiao put some milk powder into the basin to increase the milky flavor.
Yeast powder and white sugar are also added, which is the key to making the bread soft and delicious.
Then pour in milk, honey, eggs, cooking oil, and a little salt, stir into dough, and knead the dough into a slightly dry dough.
Lin Xu noticed at this moment that no water was added during the entire kneading process.
It all relies on milk, honey, eggs and cooking oil to act as liquid.
Fortunately, my mother-in-law had the foresight and did not let my father-in-law eat this Liba to lose weight. Otherwise, with such high calories, it would be easy to lose weight.
Yuan Debiao said when they met:
"When making Leba, the dough must be kneaded to a firm consistency, so that it has a chewy texture. The best Nut Leba should taste like cold handmade steamed buns, which are chewy, firm, and chewy.
It also has a rich noodle flavor."
He is tall and fat, and he is very efficient at kneading dough.
After kneading it for a few times, the entire dough took shape.
After finishing this, Yuan Debiao brought a few pieces of slightly melted butter, put them on the dough, and continued kneading.
"Adding some butter can make the bread more flavorful, but the butter must be melted at room temperature for two hours, otherwise it will not be kneaded into the dough."
Lin Xu secretly made a note of it. He didn't expect that there are so many things to pay attention to in being a Lieba.
Place the kneaded dough in a basin and cover it with a damp cloth for fermentation.
Taking advantage of this time, Yuan Debiao brought over the ingredients needed to make Leba, including walnut kernels, hazelnuts, melon seeds, and some raisins.
"Raisins can be soaked in wine, which will make them more flavorful and more in line with Russian eating habits, but we can just make them ourselves. There is no need to add them."
Lin Xu also felt it was unnecessary.
However, he thought of what the original Daliba did and asked curiously:
“Do Russians use wine to ferment their ribba?”
"Use hops, boil them, and slowly ferment them with natural yeast. If you find it troublesome, you can just use beer instead, and you can still make it."
Not only does the original Leba require the addition of beer or hops when making it, but the leftovers can also be fermented again to make the beer-flavored drink that both Shen Jiayue and Geng Lele like to drink - kvass.
Wine is a drink that Russians cannot live without. It can be drunk, made into bread, and processed into a series of delicacies.
Seeing that Lin Xu was more interested, Yuan Debiao said:
"In fact, hops only play a preservative role and add a little bitterness. When making bread, adding hop water can keep the bread longer... At that time, the Russians added hops for the purpose of preservatives, but the people seemed to understand the wrong direction.
."
The bread tasted sour and bitter when I ate it, and it tasted very similar to beer, so I took it for granted that beer was added to it.
Fortunately, this misunderstanding was not deep and did not lead to a big mistake. Instead, it became the flavor of Russian Leba.
Lin Xu thought that he could try it at home later and use the fragmented time to make the original version of Lieba to see how well his father-in-law and mother-in-law would accept it, and then adjust it little by little based on their feedback.
For example, adding honey and preserved fruits may not make it a delicious dish, but there is no need to make it unpalatable and make my father-in-law miserable.
Losing weight or something needs to be done step by step.
It didn’t take long for the dough to ferment properly.
Yuan Debiao put the dough on the chopping board, sorted it out a little, and divided it directly into dough pieces.
Don't knead it at this time, otherwise it will become sticky and it will be difficult to roll the dried fruit.
"Lao Yuan, is Lieba ready?"
While he was busy, Liao Jinming, director of the catering department, walked into the kitchen with his hands behind his back.
"I'm just halfway through, and I'm about to roll the nuts. Is there anything wrong with Director Liao? Do you want Lieba or something else?"
Liao Jinming smiled, took a donut from the shelf next to him, took a bite, and then said:
"Qiu Zhenhua is cooking Qiankun roasted pig in Building 6 at noon. I heard that Master Lin is here, so I invited him by the way. Lao Yuan, why don't you go and try it if you are not busy? Building 6 doesn't make this kind of dish easily, so try it all
."
Yuan Debiao and Lin Xu looked at each other and then said:
"When this bitch just left, he said he would do it at night, but he was actually lying. He and Lao Xie really didn't learn from each other at all."
When I left, I said I would do it at night, but it turned out to be noon.
Don't tell me, I really have the style of playing tricks on others.
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"Maybe you are joking with us. I used to think that Chef Qiu was a formal person, but now that he has an apprentice, he has become more and more free."
Liao Jinming ate the donut in two bites and picked up a small croissant:
"How can these top people act so simple?"
As the director of the catering department, Liao Jinming is deeply touched.
Yuan Debiao said:
"Don't get involved with me. They are just like thieves, but I have always done my duty... By the way, Director Liao, Lieba will take a few back when he is ready."
Liao Jinming was about to take a bite of the croissant, but when he heard this, he immediately became alert:
"What do you want to do?"
Yuan Debiao held a rolling pin and said while rolling out the dough:
"What can I do? Isn't it better to just curry favor with the leader? That's right. I think we should plant another persimmon tree in the yard of Building 8. It's symmetrical and has a good meaning. It's like the persimmons form a pair." p>
"Fruit trees cannot be planted in the public green space next to it, so why do you always want to plant persimmon trees? Are you planning to plant eggplants, beans, cucumbers and peppers in the yard tomorrow?"
"Is that okay, Director Liao?"
"It's okay, this is not your hometown's vegetable garden, hurry up and work, one by one, it won't make people worry..."
From Liao Jinming's words, Lin Xu heard a deep sense of exhaustion.
It is indeed not easy to bring such a group of living treasures.
Yuan Debiao rolled the dough into a long strip and rolled out one end thinly.
After doing this, he mixed some starch water and brushed it on the rolled out dough.
Lin Xu knew very well about this step, it should be to stick the nuts.
After brushing with water and putting the prepared nuts on top, Yuan Debiao reminded Lin Xu:
"You can put whatever you want in the dried fruit. You can place it according to your personal taste. Don't put too much. If you put too much, you won't be able to roll it up."
After saying that, he rolled up the dough from one end. When rolling, he should press it as firmly as possible. At the end of the roll, the thin end would just be rolled under the bread.
Arrange it a little and make it into a long strip.
Everything is done, placed on a baking tray, and placed in the electric oven next to it. Put a bowl of water under the oven, turn on the fermentation function, and start the second fermentation.
Taking advantage of this time, Yuan Debiao beat two more egg yolks, which were used for coloring Lieba.
It didn’t take long for the Leba in the oven to double in size.
Take it out, use a brush to apply an even layer on the bread, leave it for a while, and then apply another layer after it dries. This will make the color more even and the presentation better.
Brush with egg wash three times in total, then use a knife to make a few cuts on it diagonally.
It doesn’t need to be too deep, just expose the nuts inside.
Yuan Debiao reminded:
"Be sure to brush with egg wash before scratching, so that the color will be inconsistent when baked, and it will look more attractive."
Cut them all open, put them in the oven, and start baking.
Liao Jinming finished the croissant and asked Yuan Debiao:
"What are you going to do later? If not, go to Building 6, learn what you need to learn, and help where you need to help."
"There are also bald cakes, which are small banana snacks. Do you want some?"
"Forget it, I'm worried that you are making random demands again."
Liao Jinming walked away with his hands behind his back, while Yuan Debiao looked helpless:
"It's getting harder and harder to fool people."
Lin Xu:?????????
Did you regard cheating Director Liao as some kind of challenge?
In order to change the subject, he took the initiative to talk about bald cakes:
"Chef Yuan, is the bald cake easy to make?"
"It's very easy to make. The dough mixing method is similar to the one just now, but the proportion of honey needs to be increased."
Compared with Da Lieba, Russian bald cakes are slightly less well-known in China.
This is a Russian-style snack. The main ingredient is honey whole wheat flour or rye flour. The exact name should be honey coarse grain biscuits.
This kind of biscuit is usually made into the shape of a small banana, which is very cute and delicate.
There is a layer of frosting hanging on the surface, the outer shell is crispy, and the inside is soft and addictive.
When Lin Xu ate it for the first time when he was in school, he liked it very much and would occasionally buy some online. Of course, the ones he usually ate the most were those brought by Shen Jiayue.
I went all the way to school, so I’m sorry if I don’t eat more.
Now I'm fine, I've become someone else's husband as I eat. I'm really short-tongued.
To be honest, Lin Xu was not very interested in Dalieba. What he actually wanted to learn most was this bald cake. He ate so much of Shen Jiayue at that time, and now it is time to return it.
I don’t know how my baby will react when he sees the prepared bald cake.
Yuan Debiao brought a small milk pot, put butter in it, boiled it and added slightly more honey than butter, and boiled it again until the butter and honey were mixed together.
Then, add half a teaspoon of baking soda into it.
Turn off the heat and stir quickly.
At this time, the butter and honey in the pot expanded rapidly. Yuan Debiao said while stirring:
"You have to stir it quickly at this time, otherwise the butter and honey inside will come out."
Lin Xu was a little curious:
"What is the purpose of putting baking soda?"
"The foam makes it softer and can neutralize the sour taste produced by fermentation."
So that’s it.
Lin Xu secretly remembered it.
After boiling the butter and honey, Yuan Debiao brought a small basin, cracked two eggs into it, put in a carton of milk, poured the boiled butter and honey into it, and stirred evenly.
After doing this, he sifted the prepared whole wheat flour and poured it in.
Normal flour is first removed from the outer bran and then ground into flour, while whole wheat flour is ground together with the bran.
Compared with refined flour, whole wheat flour is rich in crude fiber and is more suitable for modern people with overnutrition.
Moreover, with the addition of bran, the absorption rate of flour is lower and digestion is slower, making it more suitable for people with impaired blood sugar or those who are losing weight.
After sifting the whole wheat flour, add some rye flour.
Finally, add some baking soda and use a silicone spatula to carefully knead it into a dough.
The dough for making bald cakes cannot be kneaded, otherwise it will make the dough gluteny and it will not have a soft texture.
After forming the dough, cover it and let the dough relax naturally.
After Yuan Debiao finished his work, he looked at Lieba in the oven and went out for a spin again.
When he came back again, Leba was already baked.
Through the transparent glass door of the oven, Lin Xu saw that the ribs inside had swelled a little more, and the surface had become ruddy and bright, making people very appetizing at first sight.
Yuan Debiao opened the door of the oven, and a rich aroma wafted out from inside.
"It smells so good. It's worthy of being called Da Lieba. I'm so greedy just by smelling it."
"The freshly baked aroma is indeed stronger. Brother Lin must have never eaten hot Leba, right? The taste is very unique, you can try it."
Nut Leba is generally best eaten cold, as it will be chewier then.
When eaten hot, it has a different taste.
The noodles are softer, the outer skin is crispier, and the nuts inside are more fragrant. In short, it is delicious.
While Yuan Debiao was talking, a cook next to him came over, took out the ribs from the baking pan, and placed them on the iron net for drying to speed up the cooling to prevent water vapor from getting stuck underneath and causing the outer shell of the ribs to become sticky.<
/p>
After doing this, he took a bread knife, cut the Lieba into small pieces diagonally, and said to Lin Xu with a smile:
"Boss Lin, you can try it. Not many people can eat the newly made Leba."
Lin Xu was not polite, picked up a piece and took a bite. The crispiness of the shell and the softness inside formed a strong contrast, and the various aromas were also very rich.
You can taste the aroma and sweetness of honey, milk, sugar, butter, eggs, dried fruits and other ingredients.
Although it is not as chewy as it is after cooling, it still has a different taste.
"It's really delicious. If I don't have time to go to school, I think I could eat a whole one at a time."
At that time, I played ball every day and had a fast metabolism. I felt hungry as soon as I was full. Unlike now, when I sit on the stove every day, my desire for food is not that strong.
Yuan Debiao said:
"It's normal. Many chefs are thinner than when they entered the industry. This is because guarding the stove will reduce their appetite. It's a common problem in our industry."
While talking, he brought the relaxed dough over and started making bald cakes.
"The bald cakes in the Northeast are generally round, and they look like shaved heads. This is also the origin of the name bald cakes..."
He didn't knead the dough in the basin, but directly picked up a ball, rubbed it in his hands, and placed it on the baking sheet.
After putting everything away, I changed the baking pan and started to teach Lin Xu how to shape the banana of the Russian bald cake.
Take the dough out of the basin, use a rolling pin to roll it into a thin and even sheet, then use a round container to overlap it and press it to create a crescent shape.
This is very similar to the method of making croissant, but the croissant is fried, while the banana-shaped bald cake is baked.
Yuan Debiao said while working:
"Normally speaking, this kind of banana-shaped bald cake needs to put some mashed banana in it. In the past, Russia only made banana-flavored bald cakes in the shape of a banana. But now, basically all flavors are available.
."
When the shape of the small banana becomes a symbol, it will naturally be used and become the unified shape of the entire series, thereby strengthening the brand value.
This is a normal choice in business behavior.
But Lin Xu has secretly made a note of it, and when he makes it at home, he will put some mashed banana in it.
Since we want to surprise the baby, we naturally have to give a complete set.
Make all the dough and put it into the oven for baking.
"Chef Yuan, will you be adding syrup or powdered sugar later?"
The chef who had been helping next to him asked curiously.
Lin Xu remembered that the bald cake he ate had a layer of icing on the surface. He originally thought that a layer of powdered sugar would be enough, but could it also be glazed with syrup?
Yuan Debiao said:
"Sprinkling powdered sugar is lazy and trouble-free. Brother Lin is here today, so he must sprinkle syrup so that he can really taste the original flavor of the bald cake."
Lin Xu asked curiously:
"Is the icing on the surface of the bald cake hung on?"
"Yes, the cooking method of hanging frost is used, but it is a mechanical operation in a factory. If we do it ourselves, it will be more troublesome."
After speaking, Yuan Debiao carefully explained to Lin Xu the specific method.
First, while the bald cake is baking, boil some white granulated sugar until it becomes frosty. When the bald cake is ready, put it into a special blender, pour in the boiled syrup, and turn it quickly to make the surface of the bald cake evenly sticky.
Serve with syrup.
Continue to stir and let the temperature drop. The syrup will condense into icing sugar, and a fine icing effect will be formed by rubbing against each other.
The bald cake made in this way will be crispier in appearance, sweeter in taste, softer and more delicious.
"If I'm lazy and save the trouble, I'll basically sprinkle some powdered sugar on it, but the powdered sugar doesn't have the flavor or sweetness of frosting. Brother Lin can give it a try later."
Yuan Debiao has nothing to hide, he just teaches how to teach.
This makes Lin Xu more confident in completing the task.
It's a pity that I can't use cooking study cards, otherwise I wouldn't have to memorize these cooking techniques.
Not long after, the bald cake was baked, and across the oven, Lin Xu seemed to smell the fragrance of this snack.
At this time, the syrup has been boiled, and Yuan Debiao rushed to the kitchen and ordered:
"Open the furnace!"
