    毛毛妈您好!这个方子试过多次都很成功,非常感谢您!两个问题。1)如果用active dry yeast, 发老面的时间是不是不止两小时,大约多久?2)能用全麦面粉吗?是不是那样的话要多加wheat gluten?再次感谢

    如果我沒有麵包機或立式攪拌機,您用手揉麵包多久。 您能幫忙解決一下嗎? 大約需要30分鐘或2個小時。

    我還把多少小麥麵筋放在麵包上? 更少或更多。 我有時會說英文,但我的中文並不完美。 非常感謝

    This is the 4th time I made the bread. It has been successful! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.

    I have a question. Do you know the reason to make mother dough? What’s the difference if we make dough once, like 蜂蜜小面包?

    Thank you in advance for your reply!
