Ek het van hierdie deeg ‘n deel oorgehou en brood in air fryer gebak. Resep en metode vir air fryer heel onder:
American rich white dough is a deliciously tender and fine textured bread dough. Ideal for hamburger and hot dog rolls.
- 10 g sachet instant yeast
- 625 ml lukewarm water
- 1 egg
- 125 ml sunflower oil
- 15 ml salt
- 420 g/750 ml cake flour
- +/- 560 g/1 litre extra cake flour
- Mix yeast, 420g flour and salt in a bowl. Add the oil and egg to lukewarm water and add to this dry mix and blend well.
Add sufficient of the extra flour gradually to form a soft dough. *I added all the extra flour. - Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead very well for about 8 minutes or until quite smooth and elastic. If you have a Kenwood use the dough hook and mix for about 6 minutes.
- Flour a bowl and put the dough in, covering tightly and allow to rise in a mildly warm spot for about 45 minutes or until doubled. Knead down the dough and shape for rolls.
- Pinch off portions of dough the size of a small apple and shape into neat rolls. Flatten the rounds to a thickness of 25mm.
- Grease baking tray well and place the buns on tray allowing space in between for rising (I just put straight onto baking paper, no greasing necessary).
- Allow to rise uncovered in a mildly warm spot until doubled and bake at 180°C for 20 minutes or until pale golden and firm.
- This recipe yields 36 buns depending on size.
- Note:
I made 9 big hamburger buns and used the rest of dough to bake a round loaf in air fryer. - Air fryer loaf:
- Shape the loaf into neat round shape and put onto parchment liner for air fryer. Allow to rise about 20-30 minutes.
- Warm up air fryer on BAKE function at 160°C.
- Put the paper liner with loaf on it inside the air fryer and bake for 20 minutes at 160°C.
- Once that is done turn the loaf upside down and put back in air fryer.
- Set on BAKE function on 180°C for 8 to 10 minutes.
- It should be thoroughly baked throughout now.
