Chapter 402: Aluminum-free baking powder

After handing over the dried fruits to Zhao Jinmai, Li Yi took two catties of low-gluten flour.

Then, he cleaned up the stainless steel desk on the side, scrubbed it neatly, took the lard bowl, scooped out about a pound of lard from it, and poured it on the desk.

For white case chefs, the chopping board is the most important thing in making pastries.

In ancient times, the cutting board for cutting meat was called a sword, that is, a man-made knife sword, and I was a fish and meat sword.

There is a record in "Shuo Wen Jie Zi": 俎, ritual 俎also, from half of the meat on the top, side Lu cut.

At that time, it was a ceremonial instrument used to cut meat, which looked like a small bench and was mainly used to cut meat.

The case, on the other hand, refers specifically to the table for handling grain, and although it looks like a table, it is equipped with a grinding rod to grind the husk of the grain.

In "Shuowen Jie Zi Volume 7", it is written: "Case: Yi Heye, from He'an Sheng, rolling the ears of grain to take the grain. ”

And the so-called Yi is also recorded in "Shuowen Jie Zi Volume 14": "Yi: The car practices also." ”

Later, the table evolved into a vegetable pier, and the case became a board.

The white case chef has high requirements for the cutting board, and it is easy not to let others move.

Each white case chef has his own special cutting board, and it must be made of pear wood.

There is an old saying that "willow wood vegetable pier pear wood case, mulberry wood flat shoulder does not grind shoulders", which means that the board made of pear wood is the best.

The wood of pear wood is delicate, hard, resistant to wear, corrosion, insects, strong durability, and has a faint fragrance.

Moreover, pear wood is more resistant to water and is not sticky.

When the white case chef makes pastry, there will be a lot of flour and grease on the cutting board, and if it is a pear wood cutting board, it will be more convenient and simple to handle.

In ancient times, it was not cheap to get a pear wood desk.

But in modern times, stainless steel kitchen worktops can be found anywhere, and they are extremely smooth, much better than pear wood boards.

The method of making peach crisp is very simple, and the raw materials are also very common, mainly flour, eggs, oil and sugar.

The ratio of flour, oil and sugar is about 2:1:1.

The ratio of eggs to flour is 1:10, that is, one pound of flour with one or two eggs.

Different from making [fresh meat mooncakes], Li Yi first mixed lard and sugar, and beat them into a sugar and oil paste by hand.

Then, he took 10 grams of baking powder, put it in the flour, stirred it well, and poured it on the sugar and oil paste.

Seeing the name marked on the bag of baking powder that Li Yi took out, Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but ask: "This kind of baking powder doesn't seem to be edible, right?" ”

In the live broadcast room, after the audience saw the name of baking powder, they also posted barrages and raised questions.

"How do you use baking powder? It's unhealthy, isn't it? ”

"Didn't you say that eating too much baking powder is easy to get Alzheimer's?"

"This thing isn't a fun thing to eat!"

"Brother Yi, Brother Yi! I didn't expect you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to rebel too! Use technology and hard work! ”

Seeing the audience's doubts and complaints, Li Yi explained with a smile: "I use aluminum-free baking powder here, which is very safe."

The kind of baking powder containing aluminum is harmful to the body if eaten. ”

"Is there a difference?"

Huang Xiaoming asked puzzled.

"Of course there's a difference."

Li Yi explained while stirring the flour with a scraper: "Baking powder is actually a kind of baking soda made with alkaline soda, mixed with acidic substances, and filled with starch.

It mainly uses acid-base reaction to release carbon dioxide and form bubbles in the ingredients to achieve a fluffy effect.

The previous technology was in place, and in order to save costs, some manufacturers would use alum as an acid to make baking powder.

Alum contains aluminum, which can indeed cause damage to the human body.

In the past, some fried fritters shops would use this aluminum-containing baking powder as an additive to make the fritters fluffier.

Later, it was reported by the media, and after it spread, it became a rumor that eating fritters would become stupid. ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Zhao Jinmai nodded again and again: "My mother often tells me that if I don't eat fritters when I eat out, I will become stupid." ”

Huang Xiaoming also smiled: "I also heard that fried fritters will use laundry detergent to mix noodles, which should be a false rumor." ”

"Of course, with laundry detergent and noodles, a fool can eat it, how is it possible?"

Li Yi smiled: "That's a rumor that people who don't know about baking powder, misinformation." ”

Wu Lei listened on the sidelines and asked curiously: "Then won't this baking powder become stupid after eating it?" ”

"It's aluminum-free baking powder, and it's still very safe."

Li Yi explained: "The kind of baking powder containing aluminum is mainly unsafe alum.

Now this aluminum-free baking powder has replaced the acidic substances with citric acid, gluconic acid-Ξ΄-lactone, and some phosphates, such as disodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate, calcium dihydrogen phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, and so on.

These acidulants are harmless to the human body, and contain nutrients such as phosphorus and calcium, which are beneficial to human health. ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Jinmai asked in surprise: "According to what you say, this kind of baking powder, is it good for the human body to eat?" ”

"There are certain benefits, but you can't eat too much!"

Li Yi smiled: "Baking powder will release carbon dioxide when dissolved in water, if you eat too much, it will release gas in the stomach, then naturally, your body will automatically exhaust gas, so..."

He didn't go on to explain, but everyone understood what he meant.

"Hiccup~!"

Wu Lei hiccuped.

"Wow!"

Zhao Jinmai fanned the wind in disgust.

"Whew what? This is called the rise of clear qi. ”

Wu Lei glanced at her, suddenly put on a posture of pressing down with both hands, and roared in his mouth: "The turbidity is down!" ”

"Ahh

Zhao Jinmai screamed and hid behind Liu Yifei, pulled her back, and shouted: "Wu Lei! If you dare to fart, you're going to die! ”

"Humph!"

Wu Lei smiled proudly and pursed his lips: "I'm scared to death." ”

Seeing them noisy, Li Yi shook his head helplessly, then wrapped the reconciled dough in plastic wrap, put it aside and woke up.

The dough of the peach crisp has been reconciled here, and the water and oil noodles of the [fresh meat mooncake] over there have also woken up.

Li Yi took out the water and oil noodles, and the dough had become sticky again.

Li Yi was not surprised, he kneaded the water and oil surface again to make its surface smooth, then wrapped it in plastic wrap again, and woke up for another ten minutes.

Ten minutes later, the water and oil level had completely woken up.

Li Yi took it out, flattened one side, and gently pulled it with his hand, and the water and oil surface stretched out, like rubber, very light and thin.

"That's it."

Li Yi showed the camera and kneaded it back together.

Then, he took the puff pastry and kneaded it again, so that the whole ball of puff pastry was kneaded through.

Then, he put the dry puff pastry and water and oil noodles together, and said to the camera: "Next, let's make the puff pastry." ”
