Guzaowei Bread

Guzaowei Bread
The word "ancient taste" was originally a term in the Taiwanese food industry, but is now often regarded as a symbol of nostalgia
The most basic meaning of ancient taste is the taste of the past, and it is also something passed down from generation to generation. In the past, the food chemical industry was underdeveloped, and food practices were relatively simple. The original flavor of the food was maintained to the greatest extent possible with simple seasonings. Just like today's bread has no complicated modifications or too much seasoning, its natural and simple taste and light flour aroma are also endless aftertaste.

  • Guzaowei Bread Make Tips

    1. The water absorption rate of flour will be slightly different. When kneading, 10g of water will be left first and then adjusted. 2. Please adjust the oven temperature as appropriate. 3. Cover the bread skin with tinfoil after it is colored during baking to avoid too dark the skin color. 4. If the bread cannot be eaten at one time, place it in a food bag. If you eat it again, put it into the microwave together with the food bag and heat it for 20 seconds to restore its soft taste.
