Bulka with a cartopley from Daria Tsvek. Milk sieve with potatoes.
Recipe
Yeast preparation
10g compressed yeast
25 sugar
250g of milk 25C (I had 300g of milk, Polish flour type 500)
Bring the milk to a boiling boil, stirring, pour into a thermos and stand hot for 30 minutes. Then cool to 25-30C. Dissolve sugar and yeast in milk and leave alone for an hour.
Dishes for preparing yeast should be taken in a liter (for 250 ml of milk). The yeast is calm, but if you touch it, stir it, the explosion will be terrible, the foamy geyser will run out of the glass into the street.
Outside, on the mug with milk and awakening yeast, only dots will be visible. There will be no increase in volume, foam caps and gurgling from above at all. This carbon dioxide dissolves in the dough.
Preparing potatoes
Meanwhile, boil a potato, or two small ones. The standard for the weight of a potato is 75-100g in a peel.
Modern potatoes, even "small ones, are very large in comparison with the standard of the Soviet and pre-Soviet times. Two modern potatoes will overload the dough according to the 1961 recipe."
You need no more than 120-150 g of peeled potatoes (25-30% of the flour weight).
Grate potatoes into bread flour. Knead the dough without oil
Grate potatoes into bread flour. Knead the dough without oil
Dough
500 flour (+ 1g malt, 1g lecithin, whisper of ascorbic acid)
5 salt
35 sugar
Knead until it sets into a round, smooth ball.
Add 50g of butter or margarine, knead until it is more or less distributed in the dough, do not be too zealous.
This dough is not diligently kneaded, it is rather weak from potatoes.
Cover and place the dough in a cool place (20-22C, not higher) for a couple of hours or until it rises to the 3.5-4l mark.
Yeast ferments wildly when potatoes are added to the dough, because potatoes are rich in potassium - the "opium" for yeast. In order for the bread to be normal, you need to slow down the yeast stupefied with happiness with a cool dough temperature.
Roll out the dough on the table into a layer, from the center to the corners and from the center to the sides. Do not crawl back and forth with a rolling pin.
Roll up three times and three times again, repeat rolling and folding x3x3 2 more times.
Roll up into a ball, roll in a thin layer of flour, place on a greased baking sheet on a proofer under a towel. Minutes for 40-45 at 20-25C. Do not stand up in a hot place! Warm up the oven to 220C / 440F.
Brush the bread with an egg, a pinch of salt and a spoonful of water. Sprinkle with poppy seeds. Sprinkle water from a spray bottle over the poppy. Abundantly. Again! Well-moistened poppy seeds will be sealed, will not fly off the crust when baking, carrying, slicing ready-made bread.
Put in an oven heated to 220C / 440F, oven for 35 minutes, without convection.
Control yourself. Give the bread at least 20-30 minutes after baking, leave it on the baking sheet to rise and cool. Do not rush at him with a knife so immediately. It is very tasty.
= Take any flour that is used for yeast baking. Flour in. s, bakery grit, 1с, all-purpose or bread flour in Canada and USA, etc. In Europe - type 500, 550, 600, 650.

= Lyudmila, please explain why should hot boiled milk be kept in a thermos for 30 minutes? Will this somehow affect the quality of the test?
Milk additives spoil dough and bread, Natalia. The volume of bread is reduced, milk makes the dough sluggish (inelastic) and sticky, it destroys the gluten structure of the wheat dough, makes the dough gooey, it is made of elastic, weak-willed pliable. The products have a rough and crumbly crumb
It was then that it became clear that heating milk to a boil and holding it for 30 minutes at 90C saved it. And when kneading the dough, then the addition of 0.25% lecithin (0.25% of the weight of flour) and an oxidizing agent (say, vitamin C at home, in Canada, flour already has everything you need for bread with milk)
Warming up helps to curdle the special proteins of milk and whey, which worsen the dough. Those who regularly boil milk from the market in large quantities simply do not notice it. After all, if you boil a can of milk, four liters, then it remains hot for a long time in the mass, while it cools down, and so harmful (for the test) milk whey proteins coagulate, imperceptibly for the eye, but noticeable for the test. When boiling, it is the fractions of proteins harmful to the test that are curtailed, not all milk proteins. Indeed, when boiled, milk or milk whey does not turn into curdled milk or cottage cheese - ricotta
And those who bake from a store using raw or pasteurized milk at 60C and do not know about this problem, because they have no way of comparing it with how amazing bread and women turn out on boiled and hot-aged milk.
If we boil only for baking, if we need a glass of milk or half a liter of milk for the dough, then 30 minutes in a thermos in a hot state just imitates what happens in a large saucepan of milk - a long stay in a hot state after boiling.
And then it is the positive effects of adding milk to the dough that manifest themselves - the dough ferments better (yeast loves milk with sugar better than just water with sugar, as Dariya Tsvek noticed), the bread turns out to be lush, beautiful, ruddy, fragrant, remains soft for a long time, at least two days longer does not stale.
IMPORTANT !!!!!!
In a bread maker, you need to add grated or crushed potatoes into the already kneaded dough after the machine signals the addition of "inclusions" to the dough, when raisins are mixed in and so on.
Potatoes have very large granules of potato starch compared to wheat starch and they block the formation of gluten by their size. Potatoes strongly "dilute" the dough, reduce the proportion of protein to starch, and the starch of potatoes is foreign, not like wheat. Kneading such a potato dough intensively from scratch is like kneading a dough with raisins or pebbles in a dough from scratch: they tear up the gluten.
IMPORTANT !!!!!!
The method of making wheat dough by rolling out with a rolling pin is universal and for any dough, even for dumplings, it is better than kneading in a mixer or in a bread maker. But he is "tame". It can be mechanized if there is an electric machine for Italian pasta, for rolling out noodle dough and the like. Sometimes there are nozzles for mixers - "for pasta". Through them, you can roll the dough folded in half and unfolded by a quarter of a turn.
Kneading the dough does not change the fermentation mode. Fermentation begins when the dough is cooled to 20-22C and rolled into a ball and placed in a measuring container. In a mixer or bread maker, the dough may heat up more than when rolling out. But usually both doughs, both kneaded and rolled, must be cooled in the form of a layer of dough in the refrigerator, outside or in the freezer before fermenting.
Houses are warmer now than they used to be when all these recipes were created. Well, you know how cool the predawn mornings are in the countryside in the Carpathians, even at the height of summer. "Warm place" for fermentation in those days meant 17-22C !!! Whereas the modern "warm room temperature" in city apartments is 27-28C.
Therefore, the dough according to the old recipes must be specially cooled, look for a cooler place for them, otherwise you will end up with a product with the wrong aroma from a youthful dough that is swollen, but has not gained acidity and aroma. It's like a broth from a large, but young chicken "on hormones" - like a large one, but "empty", not chicken, it won't give richness)) the dough for good bread must be fermented at a temperature that is considered "cool" when in the room " fresh "by modern standards.
