Pretzel
Have you been attracted to alkaline water bread lately?
I don't know if you have discovered that low-fat and low-calorie alkaline water bread has become popular as a new fitness meal replacement.
Alkaline bread is a traditional bread in Germany. The most common one is Pretzel (Brezel), which is dark brown and reddish in color and looks very attractive. And because Germans like to use it with beer (because it can delay the absorption of alcohol in the stomach, making it less easy to get drunk), it is also called beer bread and beer knot.
But don't be fooled by the cute and attractive appearance, its taste is not everyone's favorite.
The taste is hard, tight and chewy, with a special salty taste on the surface of alkaline water.
The raw materials for making alkaline water bread are simple. It only uses basic materials such as flour, water, and salt, without adding other auxiliary materials, so the calories are very low, and because it uses alkaline water in the production process, it can balance the pH of the human body, so it is called It is a healthy bread.
The authentic method of German lye knot is to add a batter similar to Polish species to the dough to make it. The temperature of the dough is about 22 degrees Celsius, and it is relaxed for 5 to 10 minutes, or fermented at a low temperature of 22 degrees for 60 minutes, and the air will be exhausted in about 30 minutes; if there is no dough, it will be divided and fermented at about 22 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes. The specific temperature and time also vary according to the specific local conditions.
This is probably the key reason why its skin can bloom naturally in the furnace. Imagine the flavor and texture of this doughy loaf. Special attention should be paid to the safety issues when using alkaline water. Because caustic soda is used in alkaline water bread, caustic soda is highly corrosive, and the operation is dangerous. Be careful to hurt hands, eyes and other parts. Alkali water will cause burning pain when it directly touches the skin, and it should not get into the eyes. It is necessary to wear thick gloves to operate. Put the alkali surface into warm water, not the water into the alkali. Remember to remember! Throw it away immediately after use and pour it into the kitchen sink. Don't forget!
