Baking with Lesaffre’s Post

What could be more delicious than a warm and freshly baked bun or roll for breakfast? 🥯 The challenge is to maintain a dough-friendly process! And this already starts at our sheeting lines. We like to use a highly hydrated dough with a very long fermentation time. After fermentation, the dough has to be shaped in the most gentle way to maintain the quality determined during mixing and fermentation. During conveying, proofing and retarding, the products must be threated in a gentle way under very accurate temperature and humidity conditions. After proofing and retarding, the products increased significantly in size and became extremely fragile. Getting the products off the peel board undamaged, may be described as an art. An art we practice daily! 🧩 #Bunline #Buns #Rolls #Processing #Handling #DoughFriendly #Art #BakingIndustry #BakeryEquipment

Leftover bread can be transformed into a versatile ingredient known as breadcrumbs. 🍞 This eco-friendly repurposing technique prevents food waste and adds a delightful texture to your homemade meals. 🍲 To create breadcrumbs, dry the leftover bread in the oven or air fryer until it becomes crispy. Then, crush it into fine crumbs using a rolling pin, food processor, or even your hands. Use these breadcrumbs to coat meat or fish before frying, add texture to meatballs or burgers, or even thicken sauces and soups. 🥩🐟 #foodrepurposing #sparebasketsfood #foodrescue

Butternut Squash Recipe Instructions: 1. Heat oil over medium heat in a large saucepan. Add the onion, then cook and stir until tender. Add the garlic and cook for one minute more. 2. Stir in the squash, broth, salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until the squash is tender. This should take about 10 to 15 minutes. 3. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup right in the pot. Alternatively, cool the soup slightly and puree it in batches in a standard blender. 4. Return the pureed soup to the pan and add the cream. Cook and stir until heated through. 5. Serve soup in bowls and, if desired, garnish with additional heavy whipping cream and crispy sage.

◾1. Whisk the dry ingredients in a bowl: 2 tablespoons cream of tartar, ¾ cup salt, and 2 ½ cups flour. ◾2. Add 1 ¼ cups boiling water and ¼ cup vegetable oil by using a spatula. Tip: Water must be boiling so that your dough remains soft and will not crumble even after weeks. ◾3. Knead the dough with your hands after it is cool enough. It will harden during this process. ◾4. After placing the dough on a surface, add food colouring as you continue kneading. Playdough can last up to 1.5 months. Preserve it in a container at room temperature. 🔍✨How it works: Salt prevents the growth of bacteria and increases shelf life. The ingredients react to the heat of boiling water and hand-kneading, so the dough gains elasticity. 📩 info@highlearn.co.uk  📞 +44 020 8432 0830  📱 WA: +44 7850 694488 #DIYPlaydough #HomemadeFun #GetCreative #HighLearn
