Experiment: Making Homemade Bread with 10 Year Old Flour Stored in Mason Jars
Time for another food experiment video. Ten years ago‚ I sealed a bunch of all-purpose flour in mason jars. Today‚ I'm busting into some of my stash to whip up a loaf of fresh-baked white bread. I'd never used flour this old for bread making‚ and I wasn't quite sure what to expect. ------------------------------ Stuff used in this video: Kitchen Scale https://amzn.to/3FK1Uz3 KitchenAid Mixer w/ Dough Hook https://amzn.to/3QJp7I1 ------------------------------ Soft white bread recipe: 400 grams all-purpose flour 20 white sugar 8 Kosher salt 175 grams water 125 grams whole milk 1 packet (7 grams) yeast 3 Tablespoons butter Mix milk and water. Heat to 100 degrees F. Mix yeast into liquid and let proof for 10 minutes. Combine flour‚ sugar‚ and salt. When yeast mixture is foamy‚ add to dry ingredient and mix. Mix with electric mixer and dough hook for 3 minutes‚ or knead by hand. Then add in 1 Tablespoon of butter‚ mix for another minute‚ and then repeat 2 more times until all butter is incorporated. Continue kneading or mixing for another 5 minutes. Transfer dough onto floured surface‚ and form into a tight ball. Pat with a little more flour if too sticky to handle. Place in greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for 90 minutes. Punch down the dough and transfer back onto floured surface. Roll out into rectangle and roll with fingers into a tight loaf. Place in greased bread pan and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for 60 more minutes. Remove plastic wrap and bake in an oven pre-heated to 350 degrees F‚ for 40-45 minutes. ------------------------------ 00:00 - Intro 02:23 - Proofing Yeast 03:12 - Dry Ingredients 03:26 - Mixing Dough 04:00 - First Rise 04:43 - Second Rise 05:21 - Baking 05:58 - Finished Bread 05:53 - Tasting 07:23 - Conclusion ------------------------------ The Great Lakes Prepping and Great Lakes Kitchen Channel shares our knowledge and experiences relating to all things prepping‚ cooking‚ outdoors‚ and everything DIY.
