Petit Pain.....Simple Bread



Bila bukak bekas roti, tengok dah habis, hati mula tak sedap. What will my daughter
eat tomorrow for breakfast? Fikir punya fikir, i decided to make this simple bread, further more i'm in a hurry. Nak masak fish curry and also nak buat roti lagi. Penat juga ni tapi to make this bread is so easy like A B C and for those yang baru nak belajar cara buat roti, this is the simplest that you can make. Mesti jadik! Thanks to Pook for the recipe.

ingredient

230g ................................. Bread flour
140g ................................. Cake flour
1 ........................................ Egg
2tbsp ................................ Honey
30g ................................... Unsalted butter
150-170ml ...................... Water (warm about 45 °C )
1 1/3tsp ........................... Instant yeast
1/3tsp .............................. Salt


Mix together honey and water.
Put the flour, and yeast in a bowl, whisk to combine, add and salt whisk again. Pour the egg and honey mixture , together with the egg into the bowl.
Use large spoon (or pastry scraper) to mix everything together, and knead briefly to bring all the ingredients together (add more water if the dough's too dry).
Take the dough out of the bowl and knead, you will see the dough will be elastic after about 2 minutes.

Add the butter and knead by using the heel of your hands to compress and push the dough away from you, then fold it back over itself. Give the dough a little turn and repeat. Put the weight of your body into the motion and get into a rhythm. Keep folding over and compressing the dough. Knead for 10-15 minutes or until the dough is soft, pliable, smooth and slightly shiny, almost satiny.
See how to knead bread, here.
Put the dough into a light buttered bowl. Let the dough rise in a warm place until double in size (can be 1 hour or 1 hour and a half check often depend on the temperature).

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Line 2 baking sheets with baking paper.
Take the dough out of the bowl, deflate by touch it lightly.
Cut the dough into 14 pieces roll into a ball and let them rest for 10 minutes.


Press the center of the dough and with a wood stick to make a mark , do the same for the rest of the dough.
Let the dough rise until almost double in size, about 1 hour.
Sprinkle with flour before baking.
If you want the mark to be clear use a back of a knife press it lightly again.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
