The day after Mina and Maria promised to make "Denish", I checked with Bob and Maria in the kitchen and said that they would do it tomorrow as soon as possible, and the next day after the day we promised at dinner, we decided to make "Denish".
The participants were me, Daisy, Mina, Bob and Maria.
First, you have to stretch the butter with a noodle stick, so keep the rough stone plate on the bench cool in the refrigerator. Cool the butter in the fridge with the bread dough.
Warm the butter mixed with the bread dough to room temperature.
I got Maria to prepare my feet and I stood on them.
Remove the chilled table in the refrigerator. Powder and use freshly chilled butter from the refrigerator... Strike thinly and long, fold into three folds, and then form into a square.... wait a minute, it's hard! I can't! It won't be long or thin in the first place!
"Bob. I can't stretch the butter because it's hard...."
I help Bob quickly with my eyebrows down to eight characters.
"Hi, I can't do this with your help. I'll take your place."
Bob stretched the butter on my behalf with a smile.
... Mina was watching Bob's hand work, but what if Mina was a good cook? No, it's hard for girls, isn't it?
Bob molded it carefully while maintaining the coolness of the butter.
Well, I'll put this in the fridge.
Bob went into the refrigerator to put butter on each table.
"I'll do it next time!
This time, I get on the table with a rough snort.
In a bowl, mix well with flour, sugar, and salt. Then add the butter and mix well. So, put a little milk, water, eggs, and yeast water in there, and mix it quickly this time...
So, explain it to Mina, who is attending for the first time.
"This is the yeast solution made by alchemy, and the bread is filling up."
When she handed over the bottle, Mina was peeking into the bubbling liquid that seemed interesting.
Mix until powder is gone and round on the table.
Once the wet wipes are placed so that the surface is not obscured, they are allowed to ferment at room temperature for about an hour.
... making bakery dough takes a lot of time.
When the fermentation is finally finished, remove the gas, flatten it slightly, wrap it in a damp fabric, and rest overnight in the fridge.
... that's a long time!
◆
Everyone got up early the next day. The sun hasn't risen yet.
Because I wanted to serve denim bread for breakfast!
First, prepare the oven to cook at any time.
"Can I pinch it today?
Mina's white tail is swaying with curiosity.... nnh! Cute!
That said, Mina wants to try it, so I decided to leave the fabric making this morning to Mina.
Bob and Maria prepare breakfast as they watch.
Bob stretches the dough to the same size as the butter he stretched yesterday. Then shift over the fabric and place the butter on the diamond.
Wrap butter tightly in fabric and triple the length.
Fold it in three folds, change the angle and stretch it again... and the fabric is finally finished.
... well, it's beautiful to shape (I'm a big deal), and in the first place, it's a good job. I wonder if cooking skills also differ in places like this. I envy you for being a girl.
It's pretty tough.
Meanwhile, Mina is a novel cooking technique? The tail seems to be in a good mood. Just watching the shaking tail makes it fun to be followed.
Let the folded fabric rest, and then cut it into a triangle with long sides.
Round the fabric from the wide side of the triangle.
Once arranged on the top plate of the oven, let it rest at room temperature again for a while.
Don't forget to apply a damp cloth.
"Still, it's a strange shape, and does it make sense to round thin fabrics?
Mina wipes her washed hands and returns to the kitchen table where everyone is resting.
"I wonder what happens when you put a lot of precious butter into it."
Bob mutters a little worried.
Hmm, can you really do it, Denish?
Having such a chat makes it time to put it in the oven.
The molten eggs are brushed onto the surface and finally put into the oven!
"Wow!
The baking was quick compared to the waiting time for the dough.
Fluffy and diamond-shaped fabric. A surface that fades into a smooth, crisp color. The scent of drifting butter.
Mina's tail stopped moving as she peeked into the oven.
Take it out of the oven and taste it half by yourself.
"Wow, it's crisp."
Mina smiles deliciously.
"But it's very moist inside."
I'm touched by the stretching fabric inside.
"But the surface of the fabric is sticking to your hand."
That's what Bob thinks.
"I was wondering if I could get a finger bowl. I'll ask the maid in charge."
Maria says so, wipes her hands with an apron and leaves the kitchen.
Everyone in the family who finally woke up at that time is interested in the fragrance flowing from the kitchen.
"It smells pretty good this morning."
And your father.
It doesn't smell like fluffy bread.
Mother tilting her neck.
"Yes! Today we are unveiling our new bread!
It was onee-sama who reacted immediately to my words.
"Denish! I've been looking forward to it!
Me and Mina also take off the apron and sit down as the family lowers their hips to their seats at the table.
A finger bowl is then added to the dishes arranged on the table.
"Oh, I think you need a finger bowl of bread. It's my first time."
Oniisama seems to be intrigued.
Freshly baked "Denish" is distributed to each of them.
"According to the Alchemy Book, it's called 'Pastry' to be exact."
That's how I introduce my new bread.
Well, let's get Daisy and the others a new one.
Everyone's hand stretches to the pastry with one voice from your father.
"Oh, don't break in your mouth."
Father wears a rash and eats a bite to express his feelings.
"But the fabric inside is so elongated."
It seems that a mother who eats by hand can see the dusty dough inside.
"The smell of butter fills my mouth! And the crispy texture is wonderful."
Onee-sama seems to like it quite a bit.
"It's amazing how many layers of fabric overlap. But because the fabric fragments on the surface stick to your hand, you got a finger bowl for me."
Oniisama seems to be worried about the overlapping structure of the bread.
As a result, "Denish" seems to be popular with families. Everyone finished a delicious meal.
Me and Mina looked at each other and smiled.
