Zheng Hongyan left a sentence before leaving.

"Well, the braided bread must be a straight braid with more than three strands, and a round braided bread can also pass. ”

However, the difficulty of the round braid bread is greater, and the tightness of the weaving is more precise and strict, as long as there is a little error between the bread strips, then the braided bread can no longer pass on the skin.

"Thank you, Mr. Zheng, for the reminder. ”

Finally, there was no one else present, and the small space that belonged to Lou Qingyu returned to silence, and his eyes slowly patrolled the materials on the cooking table, and the high-gluten and low-gluten flour, eggs, butter, milk, etc. were basically fully equipped.

At this time, many bakers have already started to do it, "Click, Click", and the endless sound of eggshell breaking sounded in the practice room, undulating like a tune called "Broken".

Gathering her mind, her fingers seemed to be given a series of commands by her brain, and the high-gluten flour, milk, eggs, sugar, salt, yeast, and whipping cream were all picked out from the ingredients, sifted, measured, and poured in, and a series of flowing movements were made by the girl with grace and grace.

Zheng Hongyan's eyes fell on her involuntarily, only to see Lou Qingyu pick up the egg lightly, and quickly knocked through the thin shell, the yellow and clear egg yolk fell in the basin flour in transparent clothes, it was just the most ordinary egg-beating action, inexplicably more elegant than the five big and three rough men around.

After she looked away, it happened to land on the boy beside Lou Qingyu, obviously the same steps, the same action, but missing the neatness, the lack of that clean and elegant, slowly looked away, and swept over every baker in the practice room.

Except for Lou Qingyu, the people who can walk into this practice room are all two-star bakers, and if they want to become three-star bakers, the biggest test is bread making.

Although everyone gets a different question, there must be a bread in the five questions, and the process of making bread is the same as these procedures, stirring, kneading dough and dough, shaping, baking, among which kneading dough and dough is the most difficult part of bread making, and it is also the part that tests the skills.

Although the high-tech society has invented machines that can replace manual kneading, if you want to become an orthodox baking master, manual kneading is the only way to go.

At this time, the candidates in the practice room were waiting for each other, and the movements of each person's hands were extremely similar, under their stirring, the flour, milk, egg liquid, yeast, etc. in the silver basin slowly turned into a ball, and the light yellow dough was carefully pulled out.

Kneading, pulling, stretching, but everyone's strength is not the same, although similar movements, there is the slightest difference, and the final bread taste is naturally different, in their kneading, the aroma of the dough is kneaded out, is the wheat aroma and milk aroma that all bakers are familiar with.

However, not all bakers can knead the dough successfully, and small situations continue to appear in some young bakers, who are not as calm and experienced as their predecessors, and are extremely prone to mistakes in a nervous and apprehensive state of mind.

"Mom, my gluten is broken, and I'm going to remake it now. ”

"Hey, my dough seems to have collapsed. ”

"What the hell is going on, it's been almost half an hour of kneading, why is the dough still very rough, is there something wrong?"

There were three or four sounds intermittently in the practice room, the urgency and urgency of the reproduction, and the panic, apprehension, confusion and other emotions transmitted between the manners, unconsciously infected the emotions of other people, even the most calm players, at this time the movements in their hands could not help but be a little nervous.

"Quiet!" Zheng Hongyan frowned and looked at the scene in the classroom, and couldn't help but open her mouth to type a sentence, "If you want to do a good job in baking, the most important thing is to be calm, concentrated, and calm, all three are indispensable, and now it's just a little situation, so you are nervous like this, do you still want to take the three-star test?"

The unhurried words couldn't help but make people's hearts feel cold, and the candidates who had failed because of their impatience couldn't help but close their mouths at this time, lowering their heads and kneading the newly made dough, for fear of being disciplined by Zheng Hongyan again.

At this time, three of the candidates have sealed the dough, while waiting for the dough to ferment, while starting to prepare the materials for other topics, exquisite skills and calm mentality are far ahead of the candidates, Zheng Hongyan nodded with satisfaction and wrote down the names of the three candidates.

His gaze swept casually, but he stopped at the tall and slender figure in the middle, the "miserable" dough mixed with yellow egg liquid, white flour, etc., with the addition of butter, the dough became coarser and slightly grainy.

With Lou Qingyu's pulling action, the light yellow dough became hideous and terrifying, like a "little monster", the uneven body and the viscous touch at the bottom made people retreat, although the fingers were still kneading on it, but the next moment it was glued by this "little monster".

The viscous touch makes people can't help but want to break away, ruthlessly peeling, crushing, rubbing, pulling, retracting, and even beating up on the cooking table, mercilessly refusing the approach of the "little monster".

Under the continuous kneading of the girl, the original hideous "little monster" has become smoother and smoother, and the original uneven "acne face" is like a "acne" mask, which feels smooth and delicate to the touch, and feels completely different from before!

Xu was shocked by the reborn change, Lou Qingyu's movements softened a little, and the dough turned into a strange shape in her hands like plasticine, although it vaguely had a little sticky texture, but it was only slightly stuck to the girl's fingertips, like a sticky kitten constantly licking the owner's fingertips, moist and soft, people couldn't help but knead this little cutie.

The little monster turns into a cutie, as if a girl has cast a spell in her hands.

Lou Qingyu's movements slowly stopped, feeling that the dough in his hand was almost formed, he raised the bread knife on one side, cut a small piece of the round dough, pulled slightly, five slender fingers slowly stretched the dough, and a thin membrane like a cicada's wings appeared in front of him.

Delicate, smooth, light and translucent, this is a basis for judging that the bread is whipped to a complete state - the glove film, as the name suggests, is like a film on the hand, and the palm lines of the palm are clearly visible, so as long as a perfect glove film is pulled, it means the success of kneading.

"You're all right so soon. ”

The boy standing beside Lou Qingyu caught a glimpse of this scene, his voice revealed a hint of envy, he never thought that Lou Qingyu looked so young, and his kneading skills were no worse than other predecessors.

"Well, come on. Lou Qingyu responded in a low voice, glanced sideways at the dough on the other party's hand, and the state didn't seem to be bad, it was kneaded into a round ball, which was also very good, and there was a touch of appreciation in his eyes.

Qiu Yuxuan, who was on the podium, had a light smile on her face under Zheng Hongyan's signal, and reminded the candidates in a soft voice, "An hour has passed since the exam time, and candidates who have not completed half of the first question should pay attention to the time control." ”

With this reminder, some bakers couldn't help but speed up their movements, and the formed dough was sealed one by one, or fermented at room temperature, or refrigerated fermentation, and each baker chose a different fermentation method.

Just when everyone was busy fermenting the dough, Lou Qingyu had already sealed the kneaded dough and began to prepare the dough of chocolate croissant.

His eyes were slightly closed, thinking about the recipe of chocolate croissant, and he quickly opened his eyelids, the light bursting out of his eyes was a little dazzling, and without the slightest hesitation, he directly selected the materials he needed, and the self-confidence revealed between his demeanor made people can't help but look sideways.

This baking little brother doesn't seem to be simple!

Even if she felt the glances around her from time to time, the girl with her head down didn't mean to care.

Unpack the material, check the freshness and quality of the material, flour, milk, eggs... In addition to adding cocoa powder and a small amount of low-gluten powder, the ingredients of croissant are not much different from braided bread, and under Lou Qingyu's operation, the amount of each ingredient is accurately weighed and poured into the silver basin one by one.

And just like that, the girl began a new round of stirring and kneading dough again.
