Crafting a recipe that's both professional and accessible requires a blend of clarity, detail, and a touch of creativity. Start with a catchy title that hints at the dish's essence, ensuring it's intriguing enough to draw in readers. List your ingredients in a logical order, prioritizing those used first in the recipe.
For baking, it's common to mix all dry ingredients together at once, so list them in descending order by volume.
If an ingredient is used more than once, note the total amount first and then specify how much is used at each step. Remember, simplicity in preparation can be noted directly in the ingredient list, making it easier for the reader to follow. Lastly, ensure your recipe is well-structured, with clear instructions and any necessary tips or notes included. This approach not only makes your recipe more enjoyable to read but also more likely to be a hit with your audience.
Ingredients
- 100g carrots
- 200g strong flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 20g honey
- 1 tablespoon skim milk
- 1 teaspoon instant dry yeast
- 148g water (about 40 degrees)
- 20g butter
Preparation
1. Prepare the Carrots: Slice the carrots into 5mm thick pieces. Add 1 tablespoon of water, heat in the microwave at 600W for 3 to 4 minutes, and roughly mash with a fork.
How to Make
1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: Put all the dry ingredients (flour, salt, honey, yeast, and water) into a bowl. Make a well in the center and add the water. Mix everything with a wooden spoon until the flour is gone.
2. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto the work surface and knead until smooth. Spread the dough out a little, sprinkle with butter, and knead until smooth again.
3. Primary Fermentation: Let the dough rest until it has doubled in size. This usually takes about 15 minutes.
4. Divide and Mold: Divide the dough into 6 pieces, let them rest for 15 minutes, then shape them into a fluffy ball.
5. Secondary Fermentation: Allow the dough to rise a bit more.
6. Bake: Sprinkle strong flour on the surface with a tea strainer and bake in an oven heated to 180℃ for 14 minutes.
