Many wholesalers in Tongcheng are busy for the Kunyang New Year's gift box, and at the same time, Ji Jiayan from the United States broke into the top four of the baking competition with his works.

In the last game, Ji Jiayan was lucky to draw the theme of bread.

"In the next three hours, you will make thirty portions of bread. "Although pastry baking places great importance on the skills of pastry chefs, as a commercial bakery, it is also one of the criteria to provide a large amount of bread with stable taste in a short period of time.

This time, Ji Jiayan invited Woody and another junior brother, Brown, to participate as assistants.

"Woody, take out the old noodles we have prepared. ”

"Brown helped me prepare the rest of the raw materials. "They have very limited time and it's a test of teamwork.

But Ji Jiayan already knew the order of making red wine longan bread, so everything was unfolding in an orderly manner.

But to be honest, this competition gave Ji Jiayan a lot of inspiration, the pastry chef always has to go to commercialization in the end, with the previous teaching experience in the baking classroom, Ji Jiayan has gotten rid of the stage of talking on paper, and he has a good solution to many problems.

Before, he was always pursuing the soul of the teacher's mouth, but later Ji Jiayan realized that he was too persistent, isn't the soul of the pastry delicious?

Ji Jiayan retracted his thoughts and focused his attention on the bread ingredients in front of him.

The old noodles are added to the kitchen machine together with the raw materials and stirred until the flour is not visible, during which the dough temperature must be kept at 24 degrees Celsius to ensure that the bacteria inside are not destroyed, and then the dough is fermented.

During the dough fermentation period, Ji Jiayan began to prepare other remaining ingredients, when everything was ready, the dough was almost fermented, at this time, add sugar, a small amount of salt, water and fresh yeast to stir, stir quickly for a minute, manually mix in longan meat and walnuts, and then carry out secondary fermentation.

After 20 minutes of fermentation, the bread crust is divided into three portions for final proofing. After all this is done, divide the bread into 30 doughs, make a few knives around the bread with a blade, sprinkle it with icing sugar for decoration, put it in the oven, turn it on to 195 degrees Celsius, and after 38 minutes the bread is baked.

Ji Jiayan observed the opponents around him, and at this time, basically the family was guarding the edge of the oven and waiting for the finished product to be completed.

As the temperature of the oven increases, the bread begins to be baked inside, and the smell begins to change from a jerky flour flavor to a rich baking aroma.

At this time, the mellow aroma of red wine and longan meat begins to merge and inadvertently spreads out of the oven.

As the closest person to the oven, Woody praised the aroma of the bread: "Even after smelling it so many times, I still can't believe that the taste is real, and the sweetness of the red wine and the smoky taste of the longan meat, no one can resist the deliciousness." ”

Brown didn't speak, but nodded vigorously in agreement.

Gradually, the smell began to spread throughout the stadium and wafted to the surrounding players.

"Damn, what the hell did that Chinese guy use to bake, why does it have such a special aroma, this smoky smell doesn't look like cinnamon. Saying that, the other party greedily inhaled the wafting aroma, wanting to try to decipher the secret.

"This taste is really curious, it is a new ingredient that we have never been exposed to before, why there are so many flavors in Huaguo that we have not tasted. ”

"Don't say so much, see if the bread is ready. At this time, their team leader didn't want to be disheartened, so he interrupted the topic bluntly.

The rich aroma continues to gather until the moment the oven is turned on and reaches its peak.

"What a peculiar scent, why does it smell so good. ”

"It seems to have come out of the Chinese man's oven. ”

"Is it a newly discovered spice?"

The taste of musk longan meat was so special that the eyes of the entire venue were focused on the bread in Ji Jiayan's hands.

"It's great, but luckily I was asked to make 30 loaves of bread during the previous game, so maybe I can take one home. ”

"Audemars Piguet, pay attention, you're the referee!"

Although he said that, several people at the referee table all stared at the direction where Ji Jiayan was.

If it is really a new spice that gives off this peculiar fragrance, then it is necessary to find its source by yourself anyway, and more than one person present has this idea.

Freshly baked bread was served to the judges, leaving a myriad of tantalizing aromas along the way. The referees couldn't wait to pick up the bread made by Ji Jiayan and taste it.

The fluffy bread is filled with walnuts and a kind of dried fruit, fluffy and chewy at the same time, bringing a multi-layered taste, the familiar red wine flavor is the first to conquer the taste buds, and then the sweetness of the bread with a special taste gives the bread a mellow and complex aroma.

The taste of red wine is very familiar, and it's not uncommon to add red wine to bread, but where does this peculiar smoky taste come from?

When the teeth chew on a peculiar sweet taste, they find the answer. The black, raisin-like stuff is where this special flavor comes from.

The judges began to communicate with each other: "There is a special dried fruit in this one, and this is where the peculiar aroma of the bread comes from, but the bread body is soft and layered, and the taste and aroma are very good!"

After commenting on Ji Jiayan's works, the judges began to taste the works of other contestants one after another, but because the taste of bread was too shocking before, many judges were still reminiscing.

The other three breads can only be regarded as normal play, and with Zhuyu, it is difficult for the judges to be interested in the front, so this championship fell on Ji Jiayan without exception.

"You have added a special dried fruit to this bread, and its flavor blends perfectly with the red wine, so can you tell me where it came from?"

Ji Jiayan did not hide his secrets, and generously told the other party: "This is a kind of dried fruit from my hometown, called musk longan, which adds some special ingredients in the process of making smoke, so that it presents a special taste." ”

After speaking, Ji Jiayan also handed the remaining half jar of musk longan to the other party.

Several referees gathered around like a child, you and I divided the longan one by one. After this battle, the baking circle of the entire rice country knows that Huaguo Tongcheng has a special dried fruit, which is called musk longan dry.
