【我爱面包机】好吃的养生面包 ~ 四神全麦面包 Nourishing Si Shen Wholemeal Bread (by Bread Machine)


翻看记录最后一次动手整形面包竟然是去年十月的免揉面包!这期间包子馒头还是有做过几回,间中也会用面包机做面包,只是都没放上来。家中的面包粉和全麦粉都快要过期了,看来要勤劳点才行。


昨晚用了晚餐后就快手快脚用面包机做了这个面包。面包出炉冷却到可以切片时已经是凌晨十二点多了,晚上做面包最大的烦恼就是要等面包冷却收入盒子后才能去睡,总不能就这样让它搁着到天亮吧?

准备材料时我随手拿了四神粉加了一些进去,妈妈看到了问我面包也能加这个吗?我跟妈妈解释说自己做面包最大的好处是想加什么就加什么,可以有很大的发挥空间。


四神粉包含的四种成分包括芡实,淮山,莲子和茯苓。以下是这四种药材的功效(资料取自网络)。

芡實:健脾止瀉、補腎益精,其作用為收歛、滋養、強壯。芡實和淮山雖均有健脾作用,但淮山補益力較強,而芡實固澀力較好。

淮山:其生品又名為山藥。山藥具有補脾補肺固腎益精的功能,對於人體的免疫系統、呼吸系統都有加強的幫助,能增加活力;對於食欲不振容易疲倦的人,山藥中的活化酵素具滋補功能,不過,用活化酵素在超過攝氏五十五度即會被破壞而失去功能,因此日本人大部分都是磨漿生飲山藥;對胃潰瘍的人來說,山藥中的黏液質可幫助其復元。

蓮子:含有多種營養物質,對胃腸有保護作用,並可增強人體免疫機能,有抗老防衰的功效。中醫認為蓮子具有補脾、益肺、養心、補腎、固精、止瀉等功效。蓮子的特點是既能補、又能固,因此可補中止瀉、安中固精。

茯苓:其主成分β-Pathiman不僅能促進、強化人體的免疫機能,常食用可加強對疾病的抵抗力,在中藥常利用為其他抗癌藥的輔助劑。


通常用面包机做面包我都是很随性的,鲜少有事前计划,所以我的面包机面包大多是用直接法,想到要做就立刻做。以面包机的水准来说这面包的组织算是很不错,也很柔软,室温放到隔天没有明显的老化,所以今天就迫不及待的大家分享。


The texture of this bread is soft and fluffy, I am sure I will adapt this recipe again and again for other experiments, it is definitely a keeper to me.

Nourishing Si Shen Wholemeal Bread (by Bread Machine)

Ingredients:
(A)
320g bread flour
40g wholemeal flour
30g plain flour
10g Si Shen Powder (四神粉)(see note 1)
(B)
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 medium egg, cold
220ml water + milk, cold (I used 50%/50%)
2 tsp instant yeast
30g butter (soften at room temp) (see note 2)

Method:

1) Combine (A) and mix well. Add all ingredients in sequence according to your bread machine manual (except butter). Select "Dough" program. Let it knead for about 5 mins until dough is formed, add butter gradually and continue to knead for another 5 mins (total kneading time: 10 mins), stop the program.

2) Select "Basic” program, “Light” colour, “900g” and start the program.

3) Check the bread 20-25 mins before the ending time. Stop the program and remove bread from bread machine once you see the crust is nicely brown to prevent over baking.

Note:
1) Si Shen powder consists of Qian Shi, Huai Shan, Lian Zhi and Fu Ling, is a TMC formula that is believed to increase our body immune system and many other benefits. It can be replaced by plain flour or wholemeal flour in this recipe.
2) If you are going to eat with sweet jam you may use salted butter, else use unsalted butter. Alternatively you can use salted butter but cut down the salt to ¾ tsp.
3) You may adjust the ratio of water and milk according to your own preference.
4) When adding the salt and sugar into the loaf pan, they should be placed separately at different corner, never mix them together.
5) When using machine for kneading I like to use cold liquid (and even flour) because this helps to prevent the bread dough to become too warm which is not good for the fermentation.
