Chapter 3 Make your own gluten
Gao Dian returned to the house and was not depressed.
He had already thought about it on the way, and since he couldn't buy it, he wouldn't buy it anymore.
He wants to make his own gluten!
At this moment, Gao Dian felt deeply powerless. He didn't want to be clamped by others anymore, so he didn't want to buy gluten from others, but planned to make gluten by himself!
As the saying goes, do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.
How to make gluten on the Internet?
I don’t know if I don’t read it. When I saw it, Gao Dian thought the gluten was quite simple to make.
The production of gluten can be roughly divided into four steps, namely: kneading, waking up, washing, sanitizing, and setting. There are some small steps in between that do not affect the production of gluten.
Gaodian watches the tutorial repeatedly to make sure you remember it clearly.
Soon, Gao Dian felt that he had learned it.
He picked up the key and went out the door.
There are convenience stores at the entrance of the community, and most of the daily necessities are available. For example, high-gluten flour, there is naturally no shortage.
In fact, flour is easy to buy. When you walk into a convenience store, there is flour inside.
The raw material for making gluten is naturally flour.
If you want to get more gluten, choosing high-gluten flour is undoubtedly the best choice. Low-gluten flour is more suitable for making cakes.
Gao Dian bought flour and plastic wrap and hurried back to the house.
He is used to use plastic wrap when waking up the surface.
After buying the flour, Gao Dian read the tutorial again. After confirming it, he started the first dating in his life.
Gaodian is from the south. His staple food is usually mainly rice. He can also make flour at home, but Gaodian has never learned the skill of kneading noodles.
The first time I kneaded the dating, Gao Dian also followed the tutorial.
When I read it, I thought it was very simple. Anyway, I just added water, then kneaded, and kept kneading.
Gao Dian poured out some flour and started adding water. When he stirred it with the chopsticks, he found that it could not be stirred into the flocs mentioned in the tutorial, but instead became thinner and thinner.
Gao Dian understood that it was because of the added water.
When he was kneading for the first time, he didn't know how much it should be added to the appropriate amount. There was no clear statement in the tutorial, only two words: appropriate amount.
If you add too much water, you can only add flour.
So, Gaodian flour was poured in and found that there was not enough water for too much flour, so he added water. Then he found that there was too much water, so he added flour.
After repeated repeated several times, I finally barely met the standard.
But Gao Dian just planned to test it with a little flour. The five kilograms of flour were poured down and almost two kilograms. It's really...
Gao Dian calmed down his mind, washed his hands, and started to rub it.
Kneading dough is a technical job. It seems very simple to knead dough when you look at others, just kneading with both hands.
Gao Dian also thought so. He felt it was not difficult as he rubbed it.
Soon, the dough was kneaded smoothly, but Gao Dian was so tired.
Although the dough is simple, it is too tiring.
Fortunately, it was successful, Gao Dian said happily.
Next is wake up.
The so-called wake-up dough is to let the dough not ferment in a warm and closed space. The yeast is divided into starch and turns into carbon dioxide to support the flour.
From the outside, it seems like the dough has grown up.
Generally speaking, as long as the dough becomes twice as big as before, it will be almost the same.
Gao Dian put the dough, sealed the mouth of the basin with plastic wrap, and then entered the door to play games.
After losing two games, he almost smashed his phone. Fortunately, Gao Dian calmed down at the last moment. He just met two teammates, so he would not have been able to do so.
When I walked to the kitchen, I saw that the dough had been delivered.
This day, the dough ferments are relatively fast.
Gao Dian took out the dough, kneaded it, and squeezed out the carbon dioxide inside.
The next step is to wash out the gluten.
After adding water to the flour, it will stick together. When you tear the dough with your hands, there will be fibrous filaments, which is gluten. The flour can stick together to become dough, which is bonded by gluten.
Of course, in addition to gluten, there is also starch in the flour.
The purpose of washing the face is to wash away the starch in the dough.
When the dough encounters water, no sticky starch will fall into the water, while the sticky gluten grows tightly together.
Through continuous cleaning, you can finally get gluten.
Generally speaking, it will be almost done if you clean it five times.
Gao Dian washed it over and over again, and the dough in his hands became smaller and smaller, and the smooth surface showed fibrous shape. This is because after the starch was washed away, most of the remaining ones were gluten.
Gao Dian felt very satisfied. It seemed that he would succeed in the first time he did it.
After washing the gluten, you need to leave the washed gluten to sit at room temperature for about an hour and wait for the gluten to grow larger.
Then divide the gluten into small pieces one by one and stretch and roll it up, then put it in water and cook until it is set.
In this step, some merchants will use machines instead, which will be much more convenient and quick.
Gao Dian has no machine in his hand, so he can only do it himself.
As mentioned in the tutorial, if you want to wrap a bandage with chopsticks.
The first failure!
It will be impossible to get entangled at all, and his technique will dissipate as soon as he looses it.
Gao Dian kept looking for the reasons for his failure, and tried again and again, and finally he got the first one. With the experience of the first one, the next step was much smoother.
Gaodian put the gluten into warm water until it boils for a few minutes before picking it out.
He looked at the white and fat gluten, and felt a little moved. It was really not easy.
Suddenly, Gao Dian's expression was stunned, and a line of words appeared out of thin air in his eyes.
“A gluten that failed extremely.”
Is this... a plug-in?
Gao Dian, who has experienced various novel baptisms, has a strong ability to accept these.
Then, he was a little dissatisfied. How could the toasted gluten look so perfect?
He picked up a piece of gluten in dissatisfaction, cooked some oil in the pan, put the gluten down and fryed it.
When Gaodian's business is not good, there is often a lot of gluten left. For these gluten, Gaodian has more than one way to eat them.
In addition to his best toasted gluten, he also likes to fry gluten in oil.
Fry slowly over low heat and keep turning over until the gluten has browned surface. Sprinkle a little salt, pepper, chili noodles and pepper noodles at this moment.
Take a bite and the gluten with a crispy and crispy outer shell on the outside, paired with a salty and spicy taste, it takes only one bite to make people fall in love with it.
Many of the gluten left in Gaodian used to be cooked in this way.
I saw him turning over the gluten skillfully, and the appearance of the gluten began to change color, from white to slightly yellow, and finally until it was golden.
Gao Dian turned off the heat, sprinkled the seasoning, picked it up with chopsticks and took it, and his face changed immediately.
The gluten in his mouth was very soft and had no tine feeling at all. Rather than gluten, Gao Dian felt it was more like dough.
Is this the gluten he worked hard to make?
For a moment, Gao Dian could not accept this result, and the gap between reality and thinking was too big.
At this time, he suddenly remembered the comment he had just seen.
"It's indeed an extremely failed gluten."
Gao Dian said self-deprecatingly.
Soon, his eyes became firm, and Gao Dian was never a person who retreated easily.
If it doesn't work once, he will do it a few more times!
He didn't believe it, he couldn't make good gluten!
Chapter completed!
