Bread Making

One of the most important skills a baker can learn it how to bake bread! It is a very long, time consuming process, but the end product is well worth the wait! The first step in bread making is to get everything that will possibly be need together and to measure out all ingredients. This is known as Total Mise. The next step is Mixing all of the ingredients together in the right order. After that, the dough must rest and begin the Fermentation process. A simple Punch in the dough releases the excess gas and equalizes the temperature. Then the dough must be Scaled to the appropriate weight and Rounded to form a skin. Then, it has to be left to Benchrest to relax the gluten strands. Next is Make-up and Panning.  The dough is lined up on parchment paper and prepared to bake. Then, the dough is Proofed until it has doubled in size. Baking is next, followed by Cooling and finally Storage, if any of them are left that is.
