50 Shades of Bread

Why is the color of bread different?

Today comes in some form. Don't complain. 😛

Bread...It doesn't mean this bread has to come out like this, it has to use that flour, it has to do that technique.

All the bakers will create. There may be some criteria, such as Brioche. There must be a lot of butter and eggs. If it is Choku Bang, there must be a butter milk. Country bread is a crispy crust, no egg butter milk.

But it is not forbidden that if you make this bread, you will need this kind of dough. Do not use dough that is too ash, or do not use dough made from rye, spelt, so it is a trick for each baker to choose the raw material to taste in their own style.

Now, when the raw materials are different, they make the results different, such as a lot of rye flour, the bread is darker, the wheat flour is ash, the bread is darker.

There are different recipes, such as Brioche, where eggs and butter are traditionally used, compared to Brioche, where the texture is adjusted by adding more milk. Besides different colors, the texture is also different. Even the quality of eggs, or some bakers choose to use yolk to replace whole eggs for a stronger taste, all make the color of bread different.

In addition to raw materials, the technique is also effective. Bread that is fermented for a long time (actually fermented), the enzyme has a greater chance of digesting flour, which is digested into sugar, and sugar when heated, reacts. Maillard makes the bread brown (browning). Therefore, the more fermented, the darker the color.

Finally, the baking method of each baker is like grilling a steak. There are different levels of ripeness, rare / medium rare / medium / well done. No one is right and wrong. Based on the consumer's preference, the bread itself is very baked, less baked, strong fire, light fire, all affect the smell, taste and touch.

Believe it. People do study. They know what they can eat, what they can't eat, what type of burn is called dark. No one can take their own career, their own reputation to risk playing, do not like, do not like feedback. Give them a chance to explain why they do that. And eating will be more fun. 😄
