This time the bread is added with old flour. The baked bread is very soft. Laomian is fermented dough. When making fermented pasta such as steamed buns, collect the excess dough after basic fermentation and wrap it with plastic wrap, place it in the refrigerator freezer for 1 week or keep it at constant temperature for 2 days. Before use, remove the old dough and warm it at room temperature before adding it to the new dough.
Old flour is an excellent natural additive. The bread with old flour has a flexible texture and good taste and moisturizing properties. The dough with old flour can also be without yeast, but the fermentation will be slower with old flour, so I still added some starter here.
