Soaked Flour Bread Looks Beautiful In Germany

Your picture of your homemade bread made with soaked flour and non-soaked flour :-) looks fantastic Lauren!

That is so funny how you had already consumed one of the rolls of bread before you snapped the photo. Others guests posting here, have mentioned the same thing. No time to take a picture, when the delicious tasting bread was calling their name!

You did a great job with your first effort with the soaked flour homemade bread recipe. If you want to get even fancier, you can make an egg wash:

Egg Wash:

- 1 Beaten egg or 1 egg yolk
- 3 Tablespoons of water

Mix them together. After you slice the lines across the top of your bread dough loaves and before they rise, brush the surface of your bread dough loaves with the egg wash.

I have a handy little rubber brush that I dip in the egg wash and then just "paint on" the egg wash to the surface of the bread dough loaves, let them rise, and then bake like normal.

The top of the baked bread then has a glossier appearance - you know, gives the bread a bit of shine. It is kind of fun to make the egg wash and see the results of that step. Awe, the glory of a professional bread maker!

When I use the Bosch mixer, not quite as much non-soaked flour had to be added in to get the consistency of the dough just right. Maybe that is the case with other electric mixers too.

With the electric mixer, the "wetter" dough made with the soaked flour can be mixed real easily together with the later added non-soaked flour to get the texture right. The doughy mixture does not stick so much with the electric mixer's dough hook.

I am not sure why so much extra non-soaked flour was needed to get the consistency right with your dough being mixed with the hand mixer.

I wish I knew of a way to not have to add any non-soaked flour to get the bread dough just right. I am also hoping the extra rising time does allow for some of the "soaking benefits magic" to occur during that time frame with the later added non-soaked flour.

Thank you for sharing your success with bread making!
