You really need to try this out, soft and yummy!!

I wanted to bake some bread a long time ago, but always gave up because afraid of the kneading process. It is really time consuming. I will get a bread maker one day!

Parmesan Oregano Bread Stick

It is summer time, which is good temperature to let the bread rise. Today I felt in a good mood to bake some bread, so I quickly gathered all the ingredients and started to work on it.

This time, I used a different recipe. I split the dough for bacon onion roll and Parmesan oregano bread sticks - both turned out great, soft and yummy. Just feel like eating Pizza Hut or Dominos bread stick, love it!!!

Dough recipe :

A)
1. 150g all purpose flour
2. 450g bread flour
3. 20g low fat powder milk
4. 70g sugar
5. 10g salt
6. 4 tsp yeast
7. 300ml water
8. 1 egg

B)
1. 60g unsalted butter

Method :
1. Mix all the ingredients in A in a large mixing bowl. Use your hand to form a lumpy dough.
2. Turn the lumpy dough to your work surface and start to knead.
3. Knead until the dough is smooth and not grainy nor rough. It should feel smooth in your hands. It takes about 15 minutes or longer, depending how you knead it.
4. When the dough is satin smooth, add in the butter. Knead it well to let the butter incorporate fully into the dough.
5. Knead until it is non sticky (30 mins).
6. Stretch a little of the dough, it should not tear off easily and it feels like stretching a thin layer and looks translucent against the light.
7. Once the texture is reached, form it into a ball, leave it in a large greased stainless steel bowl cover with plastic wrap.
8. Put it in a warm place and proof for about an hour or a little more. It should double or triple in size.
9. Remove the dough, punch down to deflate gas inside.
10. Divide it into 2 balls. Let it rest for a further 10 minutes in the bowl, covered.
