Hotel-Quality Pullman Loaf
- 100 grams Super strong bread flour
- 100 grams Bread flour
- 1 grams Dry yeast
- 26 grams White sugar
- 4 grams Salt
- 20 grams Egg yolk
- 10 grams Unsalted cultured butter
- 134 grams Milk (not lowfat or skim milk)
- Quickly mix in the flour, yeast, white sugar, and salt, add in the milk, and knead inside the bread maker.
- Warm up the milk to 35C depending on the season.
- This the dough being kneaded.
- Thoroughly knead for 13~15 minutes until it is smooth all over.
- I am using a 1.5 loaf bread maker.
- Add in the butter that has been returned to room temperature, and knead for an additional 15 minutes.
- If you stretch it out slowly and it has a thin membrane, then the dough is done!
- !
- Roll up the dough, let ferment to 2.5 times the size in a container such as a bowl etc.
- while being careful not to let it dry out.
- This time it took 90 minutes at 30C.
- After the 1st rise, punch it (fold into thirds two times), and let rise to 2.5 times its size once more.
- This time it took about 40 minutes at 30C.
- This is what it looks like swelled up 2.5 times.
- Place it onto a surface sprinkled with flour, press out the gas, divide into 3 equal portions, and roll it up.
- Cover with a wet cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Stretch it out with a rolling pin to remove the gas, and shape like in the photo.
- It is good to roll it a bit tightly the last time.
- Line up the dough in a pan coated in shortening, and press down firmly from the top to adjust the shape.
- Cover with a wet rag etc., and let rest at 40C for 60-80 minutes.
- Ferment to about 2cm from the bottom of the pan.
- Place a pan into the oven, and preheat to 200C.
- Place solid fat into the cut notches.
- (Using shortening).
- Solid fat = unsalted butter, unsalted margarine, etc.
- See the depth of the notches from the photo.
- Reduce the temperature to 180C for 5 minutes (to steam), and then bake at 160C for 20 minutes.
- It will swell up nicely and the crust will be soft .
