raisin bread

Jan.3, 2005

I baked raisin bread~~
See? It looks ugly that the right side rose higher.. This is because I had formed the dough awkwardly. ... Yeah, let's focus on its taste! It tastes just dreamy!! The key is ground cinnamon, I bet. A couple of pinches of cinnamon makes it taste graceful.

Baking bread is fulfilling work but you have to work on hard!!
It's much easier if you have a mixing machine but ... if you don't, you are going to have to mix the ingredients by hand. Which takes you quite a while. Plus, you need strength to work with the tough dough!!
Oh, my goodness, gluten develops in the dough so that all the ingredients stick tightly together.

The recipe I got from school is for 4 loaves. I had to divide the amount into four. ...Damn! I accidentally doubled eggs!! It was supposed to be 1/2 egg to put in, but I put a whole egg...
The excess moist made the dough sticky. It was hard to reach to clean-up stage. I sprinkled a fistful of bread flour (or less?) so the stickiness settled and the dough finally became a ball.
Phew, the egg didn't make much difference. The bread came out a bit softer though, this is acceptable.

レーズンパンが焼けました。
卵を分量よりも入れ過ぎたので、どぅなることかと思いましたが、
なんとか無事に焼けました～v
不細工な形。。でも色は良い。味も良い＝v
決め手はシナモンパウダーですかね。上品な味に仕上がりますよね。
