Made in a Bread Machine! Fragrant Black Tea Baguette
- 60 grams Cake flour
- 70 grams Bread flour
- 100 grams Water
- 10 grams Black tea leaves
- 3 grams Salt
- 3 to 4 drops Lemon juice
- 2 grams Dry yeast
- Heat water in a small pan.
- Turn the heat off right before it boils, and add the tea leaves.
- Set it aside to cool for about 10 minutes.
- When it's cooled down, transfer it (including the tea leaves) into the bread machine.
- Put all other ingredients into the bread machine.
- Knead for 5 to 7 minutes until the dough is mixed well.
- Turn it off, and transfer into a bowl.
- Cover with plastic wrap and leave it aside for the first rising.
- During wintertime, it took about 1.5 hours to rise until it was 2.5 or 3 times its original volume.
- Dust your work surface and take out the dough.
- Bring it together into a ball and let it sit for about 15 minutes.
- Roll it out long and thin.
- Take care not to pop the air bubbles.
- Divide it into 2 portions to make 2 baguettes.
- Shape it with a bread mat for the second rising, which takes 30 minutes.
- Watch the time, and preheat the oven (with its tray) at 250C.
- Transfer the bread dough with parchment paper onto the hot oven tray.
- Make slits on the surface, and spray a decent amount of water onto the dough.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
- You can really smell the tea!
- It might not really show in the photo, but mine was bumpy with some air holes.
- That didn't turn out well...
- I'm going to try again to get an even bumpier cross-section!
