Step 2

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is almost smooth! Cover it and put it in the refrigerator to keep fresh for 45 minutes, (refrigeration is not freezing!) 1 hour or more than ten hours is no problem! Or make the noodles at night and do it the next day. This step is the key to getting the membrane out.Illustration of how to make all-purpose flour brushed bread 3

Step 3

Melt the yeast with 2-3 grams of water and knead until all the dough is dissolved. Illustration of how to make all-purpose flour brushed bread 4

Step 4

At this point, the dough can already pull out some film. I forgot to add salt in the first step, so it doesn’t matter if I add it in this step. Illustration of how to make all-purpose flour brushed bread 5

Step 5

Add oil, do not put it in all at once, otherwise it will easily spill out of the bread machine. It is also recommended to put it in three times by hand and mix well! Knead for another 10 minutes or less. Illustration of how to make all-purpose flour brushed bread 6

Step 6

Grab a piece of dough and carefully stretch it open. If a small smooth opening appears at the thin part, it means it has reached the complete stage and is ready for fermentation. Illustration of how to make all-purpose flour brushed bread 7

Step 7

Let the fermented dough double in size.

Step 8

Divide the dough into equal sizes, press it into a beef tongue shape, let out all the air, roll it up, and put the edge down. Illustration of how to make all-purpose flour brushed bread 9

Step 9

Brush the toast pan with oil and place the seam underneath. Illustration of how to make all-purpose flour brushed bread 10

Step 10

Wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the oven, it is best if it has a fermentation function. If not, put hot water into the bottom layer of the oven until it doubles in size, then you can start baking. Illustration of how to make all-purpose flour brushed bread 11

Step 11

Pick some egg yolk liquid, add a little oil and a little water, mix thoroughly, and lightly brush it on the fermented bread. Illustration of how to make all-purpose flour brushed bread 12

Floors have different water absorption properties. It is recommended to pour the water slowly at the end to see if there is too much water in the dough. You can also add raisins, honey beans and other favorite dried fruits! If you don’t like sweetness, you can reduce the sugar appropriately!
