[Soft & Moist] Apricot Yogurt Bread 杏子优格土司

这是我的面包机出产的面包中最软最湿润的一个,暂时也是我最满意的一个(之前的产品有这个这个)。面包不止软还带弹性,按下去会弹回来的哦!

除此以外,这个面包的外皮薄和软,没有一般用面包机烘制的面包厚硬外皮的问题。

原因是什么?是配方的关系(加入了优格)?还是我把揉面团的时间延长15分钟?还是我减少15分钟的烘烤时间?(我使用面包机的全自动功能但是提早15分钟关机。)

有多软? 看下图。


应该是一年多前吧。从我第一次接触到用优格来烘培开始,我就深深的爱上它。可能是心理作用,觉得用优格来烘培比较健康,吃多了也没有负担。

当我想要做面包时看到冰箱里有一罐即将要过期的apricot口味优格,所以就决定做一个以优格为原料的土司。

参考了上次做的牛油土司,上回用两粒蛋,结果土司发过头,超过面包机的土司模,所以这回只用了一粒蛋,另外再做一些调整,就弄了这个杏子优格土司。

坦白说,还真的尝不到杏子的味道,不过却有香香的奶油味。美中不足的是吃过后嘴尾有点微酸,不知道是不是因为选用的是杏子口味优格的关系。下次用原味的优格试试看。

面包里还看得到黄色的杏子果肉!

Ingredients:
90g milk
1 medium egg (lightly beaten)
2-½ tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
300g bread flour
75g plain flour
2 tsp instant yeast
150g apricot flavour yogurt (I used Marigold brand 1 tub is 150g)
45g butter (soften at room temperature)

Method:
By bread machine
1) Add milk, egg, sugar, salt (do not mix sugar and salt together), flour according to the sequence in the bread pan.
2) Make an indention at the centre of the flour, add instant yeast.
3) Select 'Dough' program, after the ingredients are incorporated, add half of the yogurt, then gradually add the remaining yogurt. When dough is formed, add butter gradually. Total kneading time is 15 mins. Press 'Start/Stop' button to stop the program after 15 mins.
4) Select 'Sweet' program, 'Light' colour, '700g' (the smaller size of my bread machine). Press 'Start/Stop' button to start the program, let the machine complete the whole process.

By hand or mixer
Refer to the steps here.

Note:
1) The 'Sweet' program processing time of my bread machine is 2hrs 50mins. I checked the bread 30mins before the end time, the side had become golden colour. I let it bake for another 15mins and stop the machine (i.e. stop 15 mins before the end time). I think this could be the reason of the thin and soft crust.
2) I did an experiment this time. I wrapped a slice of bread with aluminum foil and kept in freezer on Thursday night. I ate the bread on Monday morning (let it defrost in room temperature), the bread just tasted as soft and moist as the first day. Great! I will use this method to store homemade bread next time.

  3. Hi Sock Peng,

    当然,还附送牛油和果酱。


    Hi Missy,

    This is a bread machine bread, basically I just throw the ingredients in the machine and let it do all the work. I just play with the ingredients and I'd say I am lucky that my little experiment came out well.

  6. Hi Anonymous,

    Did u use bread machine or knead by hand? I am not expert in bread making, what I can think of it could be the dough is under knead, proofing time is not enough or the bread is overbaked.

    Btw, don't mind can you please leave your name? So that I know how to address you.

  7. Hi, Angel

    你是怎么样把揉面团的时间延长15分钟呢。
    And then 是不是所有的面包都可以put inside the breadmaker? I hate and lazy to use my hand to knead the dough. but...but.... I like to eat 面包。外面的面包有添加防腐剂。。。而自己做的面包新鲜又健康。

  8. Gigi,

    你买了新的面包机? 先恭喜你。

    应该是所以面包都能用面包机来打面团,但是你要注意面包机的说明书,看看最多能打多少重量,不然overload很容易坏的。

    面团的时间延长15分钟,做法里有写。这个面包我用面包机的“sweet”功能,直接在面包机里烤。但是在选择“Sweet”之前,我先用“Knead” 功能揉15分钟。15分钟后我就按“Stop”,然后再按“Sweet”。希望你明白我的说明。

  9. Hi, Angel
    唉...说来话长..
    那天我跟我先生去到carrefour,那边的人跟我说没有买这个牌子的bm了. 我问几时会再有呢?结果是永远不会再卖了。
    后来我找了整个suntec city 的电器店都没有卖bm!!
    回到家之后,我整个脸黑黑给我先生看。结果隔天就有一个面包机在厨房了。美中不足的是这个面包机是我姑姑的。她已经没有在用了。(我要新的!!!)
    somemore this breadmaker is very X 2 old fashion.

  11. Dear Angel.

    我的面包机坏了(哈哈!)。星期六,我买了一架新的面包机。是日本象牌的。不过好小喔。只能cut 10pcs.刚刚好一家人的一天早餐而已。哈哈。。。


    我可以用你的recipes cut into to half 来做吗?

  12. Gigi,

    其实我的面包机也蛮小的,做出来的面包也大概是十片左右。

    我在想也许不需减半?

    日本象牌v很像挺不错的,介意分享在哪里买多少钱吗?

  13. hi, Angel

    Actually i buy from sengkang BEST.
    It about $399.
    not bad.
    我会买是因为它够小,一天可以吃完。不用留。然后可以做新的。天天吃不一样的面包。即新鲜又健康。

  14. Gigi,

    $399不便宜哦,不过有品质保证。

    能天天为家人做面包是件幸福快乐的事。

  15. Dear Angel

    $399是不便宜,因为品质好,我才买。我已经坏了3架面包机。两架bluesky,一架princess。Princess 那架已有一定的年龄了。而那两架bluesky 一架是放太久,没有去动它(因为没有好的recipes)。另外一架是搬来搬去搬坏了。
    我会好好用这一架。因为有Angel 的 recipes.
