Sweet toast with wine and dried fruits
I really haven't forgotten everyone, but I've been so busy recently that I can only take some dishes that save time to prepare and take time to communicate with netizens. Today is a good day off. While cleaning up the housework, I will make a sweet toast to make up for the gap during this period of time. I will thank my friends who like my rough works and share them with you!

I was particularly diligent today. I tidied up the kitchen at home and made it look much cleaner and brighter. When cleaning the freezer, I found some dried fruit foods that had not been touched for a long time and used them to make a "wine-stained dried fruit toast" Let's go!

    1. For this type of bread, the key lies in the dough preparation; it must be kneaded to the full development stage so that the gluten strength is fully realized for a good texture. 2. Brushing with milk is recommended to achieve a golden-red hue and a richer milky aroma, as a color that is too light indicates insufficient fragrance. Check the baking progress after 30 minutes; if the color is insufficient, the temperature can be appropriately raised to 200°C to achieve the ideal color. Conversely, cover the top or leave a 2-centimeter gap in the oven door. 3. The baking process should be continuous; it is best not to open the oven door arbitrarily before the 20-minute mark.
