麵包機篇 - 小食 (BREAD MACHINE MAKING – snack)

之前也提過,麵包機可以做麵包和果醬外,也可以做些小食,例如 : 麻糬、肉絲/肉鬆和蛋糕等。 但小編不喜歡吃麻糬,蛋糕比較喜歡用水波爐,但小編就試過做肉絲/肉鬆,真的很好吃,有些人會用煲湯後的豬肉,但由於煲湯後,豬肉本身有味道,小編覺得怪怪的,建議買冰鮮肉做,味道比較好。

As mentioned before, other than bread and jam, bread machine also can make other snack, i.e. rice cake, simple cake or meat floss, etc. Since I don’t like rice cake and prefer to make real cake by waterwave oven, so I just tried to make meat floss before, it’s really yummy; some people use some meat that used for cook soup, but I prefer to use fresh meat to do so because there’s will have other flavor inside the meat.

做法很簡單,先用手把肉撕開,如喜歡吃肉絲的話,就不要撕得太爛,但做豬鬆就要做得仔細些吧;跟著做一個汁料,一般也是生抽、老抽、胡椒粉、紹興酒、五香粉,最後把豬肉及汁料放入容器,選擇麻糬模式 (記得轉果醬葉)就可以了,就是這樣簡單。

It’s so simple way to do meat floss : just tear the meat into small pieces, if you like chewy texture, just tear it roughly, otherwise make it as small as possible. Next, make the sauce, normally, just use soy sauce, dark soy sauce, white pepper powder, shaoxing rice wine and chinese spices powder, put the meat and sauce into bread pan (don’t forget to change jam blend), select rice cake mode, that’s it.

麵包機篇 - 果醬 (BREAD MAKING – Jam)

之前也說過,小編時常利用麵包機做果醬,所以就先分享做果醬的方式吧。

As I mentioned in previous post, I always make jam using bread maker, so now, I will share in the followings :

麵包機做果醬與手工果醬不同,手工果醬其實煮成的時間比較快,但用麵包機卻可以一邊做,自己可以做其他事,2小時後就會通知你已經完成,所以小編比較喜歡用麵包機去做。 不過,用麵包機煮,小編有些心得可分享一下。

It’s quite different to make jam between using bread maker and handmade, it’s taking longer time using bread maker, but you can do other things while making jam, it will automatically stop after 2 hours. Therefore, I prefer to use bread maker and wanna share my experience about this.

買回來的生果清洗後,最好切得越小越好,不然很難煮溶的,就算好像藍莓這些細小的果,也要切成4小份啊。

After you washed the fruit, cut into pieces that as smaller as possible, make it easy to cook, for example, if you cook blueberry jam, the blueberries cut it into 4 small pieces.

煮果醬需要糖,你可以用冰糖或蔗糖,但小編有個方程式,基本上100%可以做到的。 首先,把所切好的果子上磅,看看幾重,把重量除以2.8,就可以得出需要的糖份,但要注意,這個糖份是以白糖份量計算,如用冰糖或蔗糖,就要減5-10g (甜度個人喜歡)。

i.e. 300g果子 : 300g/2.8 =107g白糖。

First, you need sugar, I prefer to use rock sugar or raw sugar, however, there’s a formula that until now still 100% work for me. After cut your fruit, scale it, then divided by 2.8, that’s you can calculated the sugar you need, however, this formula just use as granulated sugar, if you using rock sugar or raw sugar, better deduct 5-10g (depends of your favourite).

e.g. 300g fruit : 300g/2.8=107g (granulated sugar)

跟著就需要檸檬汁,小編會用現成裝檸檬汁,因為酸度高,做出來的果醬濃度比較穩定,最初小編都用新鮮榨檸汁,但尤於每個檸檬也不同,所以有時果膠不足,做出來好像水一樣。 檸檬汁也有方程式,就是把果子重量除以10.5就可以了。

i.e. 300g果子 : 300g/10.5=29g檸檬汁。

Afterwards, you also need lemon juice, for me, I’m using bottle one, because the acidity is higher, so the consistency of the jam is more constant; I have tried to use fresh lemon, however, it’s not enough acid to form the right consistency.  On the other hand, the lemon juice also have to calculate you need, the formula should be the weight of the fruit divided by 10.5.

e.g. 300g fruit : 300g/10.5=29g lemon juice.

最後把所有材料加入容器(記得轉果醬葉),2小時後就完成了。 當完成後,第一時間倒入已消毒的玻璃樽內,蓋好,待涼了就可以放入雪櫃。

Finally, add all ingredients into bread pan (don’t forget to change the kneading blend), it will then automatically finish after 2 hours.  Once it’s finished, put it immediately into a sealed jug, and put it into refrigerator when cold.

基本製作篇 - 麵包 (BASIC MAKING - Bread)

小編所住的離島,大部份也是老店,老人家現在有不少已有生活穩定,所以他們開門做生意已是生活寄托而已,好像麵包店,一個月裏大概只開半個月,有時甚至只開一星期;之前小編開餐廳時,就不會理會它是否開門,因為會有定期供應;但自關閉後,除了超市,就可以說是沒有選擇,所以決定自己做了。

As most of the shops in my living area are operate by elder people for ages, they mostly now open shop not for money, just for daily soul, e.g. bakery shop here, they only open for half of the month or sometimes just a week out of the month.  However, I don’t care them when my beloved and I operate a café, because we have regular supply.  After we are closed, we only can buy from supermarket, therefore, finally decided to make our own at home.

由於只得倆口子及以健康飲食為目的,所以我們只會做簡單麵包加上自製果醬,有時也會手做一些簡單鄉村飽而已。

Since we only have 2 pax and aimed for healthy diet, so we only make simple bread with homemade jam, sometimes we will make sourdough bread instead.

首先,做麵包當然可以人手做的,但現在有不同品牌也有麵包機,為何不用呢? 此外,麵包機也可做其他食品,所以也是不錯的入手工具吧。

As you know, of course, we can make bread using our hand, but in modern world, there are so many bread maker, why not use so? Furthermore, other than making bread, a bread maker also have other functions as well, so bread maker is good choice for beginner.

好,這樣你會問小編,什麼牌子比較好呢? 我會介紹讀者買日本機吧。其實香港也有,為何要購買日本機呢? 因為日本版功能比香港版強很多啊,但有點麻煩是電壓不同,要是買回來,就一定要另購火牛轉換香港制式才可以用。 但小編計算過,買日本版連運費及火牛也比買香港版還便宜幾佰元,那為什麼要在香港買貴版又少很多功能的機呢,對不?

Alright, Alright, you will ask me which brand is good? I will suggest one that only available in Japan.  why? Because Japan version is more functionality than Hong Kong version, but it’s cheaper a lot too. However, you have to caution about the voltage different-ship between Japan and Hong Kong, you have to add-on a voltage converter.  Although it’s trouble for doing so, but the total sum are much cheaper than Hong Kong version with more functions.

以下是日本版及香港版之分別 :

The following is the comparison chat between Japan version and Hong Kong version :

106 Vs 1000

這是小編建議讀者所買的型號 :

Here is the following model that suggest to buy :

Panasonic ホームベーカリー 1斤タイプ ブラウン SD-BMT1000-T

小編時常用麵包機做果醬及做其他麵糰,方便又快捷。 之後的文章也會逐一細說。 但不要問我如何做腸仔包,菠蘿包等等,老實說,小編不會做,加上做這些包一做就份量也不少,倆口子真的吃不到這麼多,而這些包其實很不健康,少食為妙吧。

I always use bread maker for making jam and dough, it’s so convenient and faster a lot,  I will share in the later posts. Don’t ask me for share how to do Chinese kind of sausage roll or pineapple bun, honestly, I don’t know how to do it and it’s quite large quantity for doing so.  On the other hand, it’s also not such a healthy food, better not always eat it.
