French bread

French bread
Some netizens said that making bread requires several fermentations, which is too troublesome and complicated! It doesn't feel easy to do. In fact, there is no need to worry about it. There are many ways to make bread, but the simple ones still account for the majority. Otherwise, foreigners won't have to eat at home, hehe!

For example, many famous French breads are very simple to make, mainly because the raw materials are simple and the methods are simple. If you go to a French family or village to have a look, it will be even simpler. When making bread, you don't need to put oil or sugar or even milk. They still make it, and it tastes great! I have seen this with my own eyes, and I have made this kind of bread myself. It feels really good!

I browsed the website two days ago and saw that some netizens used 500 grams of flour and added 80 grams of butter. I don't know where I learned this recipe! Firstly, it is too extravagant, and secondly, it is too unhealthy. Whether you eat it yourself or your family, it is not good for your body. Think about it, one pound of bread contains 80 grams of oil, and one or two pieces of bread also contains 8 grams of oil. After two slices of bread, haha! The calories for this day have long exceeded, and over time, isn't it killing you? A few years have passed, and the three highs guarantee will be all taken care of. I advise you to take it easy! It is best not to copy this kind of recipe, let alone popularize it. I regret making Danish bread. The oil is too big to eat! Health is the most important thing in life!

The French circle is cut into a cross with a depth of 3 cm, the Rosdick diagonal knife is 3 cm deep, and the cheese line is 5 cm deep, and the mushroom bag is left intact.
