Recipe Source: The Secret of Great Bread: Let Time Do the Work

3 cup Bread flour 1 1/2 tsp Salt 1/4 tsp Dry yeast 2 tbsp Chopped sundried tomatoes 1 1/2 cup Water

3杯 面包粉 1-1/2小勺 食盐 1/4小勺 干酵母 2大勺 日晒风干番茄末 1-1/2杯 水

1. Place the dry ingredients in a big mixing bowl and then add in sundried tomatoes and water. Mix well with a rubber spatula. Cover the dough with a plastic wrap and place in a warm place. Let stand at least 12 hours. It should be very bubbly and doubled in size. If you prefer a sourdough taste, then stir it down and have it rise again.
   
   干性材料混合入盆，加入番茄碎和水。用塑胶刮刀将材料混合均匀。盖上保鲜膜室温发面至少12小时直到表面出现丰富泡泡，且体积双倍膨胀。如果喜欢酸酵口味的话，把发好的面团搅拌后再醒发一次。
   
   
2. Sprinkle some flour over the top and start scooping the dough together. Place the dough on a well-floured piece of baking paper. Let the dough rest in the paper at room temperature until about doubled in size, 2-3 hours.
   
   表面洒上少许面粉，将面团勺在一起放到洒上面粉的烤纸上面。室温醒发2-3小时，直到面团双倍大。
   
   
3. Preheat the oven together with the chose baking pot to 250C/475F. When the oven has reached that temperature, open the oven door and pull out the rack with your preheated pan. Take the dough in the parchment paper and "plop" it into the pan. Cover with the lid. Close the door and bake first 30 minutes. Open the door, take away the cover and bake 20-25 minutes further.
   
   预热烤箱和烤盘/锅到250C/475F。打开烤箱，小心拉出烤盘，将烤纸上面的面团扔进烤模里，盖上盖子后立即关上烤箱的门烘焙30分钟。打开烤箱，拿走盖子，继续烘焙20-25分钟。
   
   
4. Turn off the oven and carefully flip the bread out of the baking dish on a cooling rack. Return the baking dish to the oven to gradually cool down.
   
   关掉烤箱后小心将面包翻倒在钢架上晾凉。将烤模回箱，让其渐渐退温。

Pain de Mie/Pullman Loaf 带盖吐司

The word "pullman" describes something long and narrow in design (as in the railroad Pullman car, or the luggage called the Pullman case), and is so named after George Mortimer Pullman, 19th century American industrialist and inventor.
Resources: Answers.com
Pain de Mie 是法语，英语称作Pullman loaf，（因为其形状和美国Pullman Sleeping Car卧车类似）或是Sandwich loaf用来做三明治，或是小点心都可以。平时大家在超市买的切片吐司，大都是Pullman loaf. 如果没有带盖吐司模，那么可以像我一样用蛋糕盘盖住面包。效果一样的。当然专用模子会稍宽一些。不带盖烘烤出半圆形的圆顶吐司，
angiesrecipes感觉也一样。表面刷上层薄薄的蛋液，用175C/350F烘焙。这个方子是最基础的，你可以根据需要调整加入全麦，或加入少许麦麸，或是加入少许黑胡椒；砂糖也可用蜂蜜或枫糖浆来取代，不过水份可以稍微减少一点点。

2. Pull dough from bowl, round dough, and let rest covered, at room temperature for 45 minutes. Punch down and let rest for an additional 30 minutes. Knock down once more and let rest for a final 15 minutes. Divide dough into two pieces, each about 450 grams. Round up and let rest for 20 minutes.
   取出面团，滚圆后盖上保鲜膜，室温醒发45分钟。排除气体松弛30分钟。再次排除气体，最后松弛15分钟。面团分成2份，每块大约450克。滚圆后松弛20分钟。
   
3. Roll and shape dough, place in lightly greased loaf pans. Place loaf pans in a warm place for 45 minutes or until fully proofed. Do not place lids on pans tuntil the loaves are within half inch of the top of the pan
   angiesrecipes, then place lid on pan or place parchment paper on the top of the pan and place a heavy sheet pan on top if a lid is not available.
   块面团整成吐司状，放入抹少许油脂的烤模里。室温醒发45分钟直到面团距模子边缘约半寸，放上吐司盖子。如果没有带盖吐司模子，那么你可以在面团上面盖上张烤纸，上面再压个蛋糕烤盘
   angiesrecipes就可以了。
   
4. 
   Bake in 190C/375F oven for about 50 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately remove loaves from pans and place on cooling rack for 20 minutes before slicing.
   入预热190C/375F烤箱烘焙至表面金黄，大约50分钟。取出后立即脱模，晾凉架上20分钟才切片食用。

Braised Pork Trotters / 红烧猪蹄

Chinese Steamed Buns With Old Dough / 呛面馒头

110克 老面 200毫升 温水 400克 中筋粉 1克 干酵母 1/3小勺 食盐 1大勺 沙拉油 1/2小勺 小苏打 另备手粉

110 g Old dough angiesrecipes 200 ml Warm water 400 g All-purpose flour 1 g Active dry yeast 1/3 tsp Salt 1 tbsp Salad oil 1/2 tsp Baking soda Some extra flour for kneading

1. 面粉混合干酵母放入容器，老面掰小块和食盐，沙拉油以及水加入后拌成团，盖上保鲜膜，静置发面3-4小时。取出放到洒了面粉的案台上。排除气体，均匀洒入小苏打揉搓成长条状，匀分成12-14块小面团。
   Combine AP flour and yeast in a mixing bowl. Mix in old dough in smaller pieces, salt and oil. Knead until the dough is soft and elastic. Cover with a plastic wrap and proof at room temperature for about 3-4 hours. Place the dough on a floured board and evenly sprinkle the baking soda over. Knead and shape the dough into a loaf. Divide the loaf into 12-14 pieces.
   
2. 小面块上洒上面粉，用手掌将其稍按扁，一手将面块边缘折起，另一手配合向内按下。重复这个步骤直到边缘缩小，底部稍圆，用右手虎口将边缘捏紧，放到案板上。依法擀捏其余面块。盖上保鲜膜，醒发直到双倍大后，重复面团的揉捏。
   Dust each small dough with some flour and lightly press them flat. Fold the side of the dough up with left hand, meanwhile press the upper edge down with your right hand. Repeat this step until you get the shorter edge and slightly round bottom. Pinch them together between the thumb and the index finger of your right hand. Place them on the board and let rise covered until doubled. Repeat the step of folding and pressing.
   
3. 放入蒸笼，盖上保鲜膜，进行蒸制前的最后醒发，约25分钟。注意面团在这个擀制过程中都要用面粉，每个面块大约需要再揉入15克左右的干面粉。这样蒸好的馒头，组织带有层次且很均匀。最后醒发时间不要过长，否则馒头过于膨胀蓬松，少了北方馒头的那份筋道。去掉保鲜膜，盖上蒸盖，中火蒸约20分钟。
   Place the dough balls in a steamer and process the final proof for about 25 minutes. Use the flour during the whole shaping process. Each small dough needs about 15 extra grams of flour to finish the kneading. So that the texture of the steamed buns would appear thick and with clear layers. To obtain a chewy-textured bun, long proofing time at the final stage should always be avoided. Take away the plastic wrap and steam for 20 minutes over medium heat with a lid covered.

Sourdough Challah / 犹太假日面包

challah = hallah = challa is a Jewish egg bread that is traditionally eaten on the Sabbath and High Holidays. 犹太人在安息日和假日吃的白面包

240 g Wild Grape Sourdough Starter 2 Eggs, lightly beaten 1 Egg yolks, lightly beaten 120 ml Water 55 g Honey 50 g Sunflower oil

2 tsp Salt 440 g All-purpose 1 Egg white 1 tbsp Water 1 tbsp Oatmeal bran

1. Mix the starter, eggs, egg yolk, honey, oil, water, and the salt. Stir. Add flour 1 cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough, adding more flour sparingly, until the dough is smooth, satiny, has lost most of it's stickiness, and is fairly firm. Cover and allow it to rise until tripled in volume.
   
   
2. Punch down the dough, knead briefly and cut into 4 equal pieces. Divide one piece into 3 equal portions. Form each of them into strands of about 30-cm in length, tapered so the center of each piece is thicker than the ends. You should now have three thick and three thin strands.
   
   
3. Braid the three thick strands into a loaf and set aside. Braid the three smaller strands into a smaller loaf. Lightly indent the top center of the larger loaf down its length. Wet it slightly with water. Put the smaller loaf on top of the indention. Beat egg white with a tablespoon of water. Brush this egg wash all over the loaf and allow them to rise until doubled.
   
4. Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Brush the loaf with the egg wash again and sprinkle the top with oatmeal bran. Place it into the oven, bake about 35 minutes.
