Here they are the 12 steps to make great bread.
Fresh Baked Bread
These steps are professional and complicated but we know once you read them and follow through they become quite simple. And you may want to do variations of bread recipes. Crusty Bread Recipe is here!
1. Scaling: Prepare your "Mise en Place" ; French for Basic Preparation. Start to measuring out all of your ingredients accurate before you start your bread recipe. Having everything out and ready to go that you will need will help when executing the recipe as you will not miss critical judgment steps in the process while looking for a missing whisk or spatula. It is a good idea to make sure that the equipment that you are using, scales and mixers, measure cups are actually accurate and working before you start. Test your scale with a pound of butter.
2. Mixing: This is the stage where the ingredients are mixed together in a mixer or by hand. We use a commercial mixer but hand kneading has been around for thousands of years too. The straight method is used by most people, all of the ingredients are added at once and mixed at the same time in one stage. Yeast is a biological leavener that must be alive to properly ferment. Yeast should be combined with water or other liquid from 70 degrees F. / 24 C. to 105 F. / 43 C. to properly ferment. The temperature of the dough is very important to the final product so be sure to read the recipe that you are using carefully for water temperatures. Also the rotation of the mixer and the temperature of the ingredients makes a difference. The mixing process develops the gluten in the bread and forms elasticity (the chew), texture and volume of the final product. An over mixed dough can be a problem too. An under mixed dough will get you low volume and bad texture.
3. Proofing/Fermentation: You should put the dough into an oiled stainless steel bowl. This is the first Fermentation period. At this point, the yeast is feeding off of the sugar and starch in the bread. The two factors in the fermenting process are time and temperature. Bread with less sugar in them will need to rise longer because the yeast has to feed on the natural sugar and starch in the flower.
4. Resting: Cover the bowl and let it rise on the counter until it doubles in size. Make sure that the bread is covered with a towel, so that it does not dry out. Also the longer the bread rises the fuller the flavor so there are some bakers who let the bread rise in a cool place.
5.Punching: The step where you squeeze out the gasses that the yeast has created and redistribute the yeast. You can accomplish this with your fists by punching the dough in the middle then folding the sides into the middle and repeat the process. If you fold the dough too many times it will affect the finished texture. This process increases the doughs strength but if you work it too much it will be a dense finished product. Save your energy.
6. Scaling /Dividing: Here is where you divide the big dough ball into the desired loafs or buns of equally size to allow uniform proofing and baking. We use a Bench Scraper. A scale should be used to get even sizes and a nicer finished bread product.
7. Shaping: Also called Rounding. Here you will shape the bun or loaf at the same time creating a skin on the outside that will stretch out and hold some of the gasses that the yeast will produce inside the bread. A good baker can do it fast, one in each hand.
8. Panning: This is where you will place the bread or buns onto the pans for baking. When shaped, the pinched seam of the bread should be on the bottom. If you wish to score the bread X you can not, and/or apply some water, egg wash or other liquid on to the bread for final texture or toppings like sesame seeds on the top then it has to be done now.
9. Proofing: This is where the bread is placed in a temperature and moisture controlled environment (hot box is ideal) to rise to a larger volume. This is very crucial to the texture of the bread. The bread will rise a bit more when it is put in the oven.
10. Baking: Have your oven hot, set to desired temperature. We use bread stones (aka pizza stones), as they get it drier and create crispier bread. You need to be very delicate with the proofed bread as you move it into the oven as to not deflate it. An optional step in the baking process is steaming, you can read more about this it helps for a crispy crust. You can tell that your bread is baked when you tap the bread it sounds empty and a nice golden brown color.
11. Cooling: The bread needs to be placed on some type of rack that will allow air to flow around the bread. Commercial kitchens use cooling racks. This allows moisture to evaporate. A few hours is good to let it cool.
12. Bagging: Excellent bread should be placed in bags or containers for storage or used quickly. Never put fresh bread in the fridge. Use a sharp serrated bread knife to evenly slice it up. Enjoy !

Promo Sale $ add to cart and save $$

This is a new Kasumi Damascus Chef Knife with a 8 in. blade, it's the sharpest damascus blade made. The edge that it holds is hair splitting and remains throughout heavy use. The non slip ergo handle is very comfortable and virtually indestructible, perfect for every serious Chef. We could not believe how sharp these knives were until we tried each one. Kasumi knives are made from 33 layers of stainless steel in Seki Japan. Kasumi V Gold No. 10 Damascus Knives are crafted from the most advanced materials with the most advanced manufacturing techniques. Only the middle layer acts as the cutting edge, and it is made using V Gold No. 10 stainless steel. Each Kasumi knife blade is a high carbon stainless steel with cobalt, manganese, molybdenum and vanadium for added durability and ease of sharpening. The layers on both sides of the Kasumi knife V Gold No. 10 core are made by repeatedly folding together two different types of stainless steel and forge welding them by hand until you have sixteen exceedingly thin alternating layers. These sixteen layers are then forge welded to both sides of the V Gold No. 10 core. The addition of cobalt to this steel requires special tempering in order to maximize the full benefit of this steel. The technique for this special tempering is a closely guarded secret. Each Kasumi knife has a laminated pakka wood handle secured with stainless steel rivets. They also have a full tang. The handle is made from multiple layers of wood impregnated with a plastic resin. The handle is riveted to the tang.
