Brilio.net - The process of making bread often presents its own challenges for many people. Not without reason, the results of the bread made are sometimes not as expected because it is flat or does not rise properly. Flat bread can be caused by various factors, such as poor yeast quality, improper fermentation process, or unbalanced ingredient measurements.
This condition can certainly reduce the pleasure when you want to eat bread that should be soft and tender. One solution that is often used to overcome the problem of flat bread is to use a softener or bread improver. Bread softeners contain enzymes, ascorbic acid, and other ingredients that help improve the quality of the dough, so that the bread can rise better and have a soft texture.
Bread improvers also help speed up the fermentation process and improve the gluten structure in the dough, which is very important for producing soft and airy bread . However, the use of special bread softeners or bread improvers also requires a proper understanding of the dosage and how to use them. Excessive or inappropriate use can cause unsatisfactory results, such as an unnatural taste or a texture that is too chewy.
Therefore, many people think twice when they want to use this chemical bread softener. Instead of using bread improver directly, you can use a trick shared by Instagram user @ribkartinta if you want to make soft bread. Through one of the videos uploaded, this baker admitted that he had never used bread improver to make bread. Even though the bread he made looked very soft and fluffy.

After further investigation, the Instagram user applied a number of special tricks so that the bread could be naturally soft. Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @ribkartinta on Thursday (26/9), the special trick used was choosing ingredients that are high in fat, such as egg yolks, butter, margarine, and vegetable oil. According to him, these ingredients can make the texture of the bread more moist and soft. This was also agreed by a netizen.
The more egg yolks there are, the softer they really are. "t.roti dough 1kg whole egg, 1 egg, 4 egg yolks, guaranteed to be soft and soft, " explained the owner of the Instagram account @anita.yuniarta.18 in the comments column.

In addition to the use of high-fat ingredients, the process of kneading the dough also needs to be considered. According to Instagram user @ribkartinta, kneading the dough does not need to be done for too long, just until the dough does not stick to the hands. If it is too long, it is very likely that the bread will rise, but it is also easy to deflate when baked.

Meanwhile, the packaging of bread after it is cooked should not be careless. If it is cooked and cooled, the bread or cake must be packed in an airtight container. This will keep the texture of the bread soft and not dry easily for days.

Many other Instagram users also gave direct responses through the comments column. A number of netizens admitted to being amazed by the results of the bread that looked soft and appetizing.
