4128 The Other Side 97

He had thought that everything was difficult only at the beginning, but he did not expect the next step to be even more difficult than the first.

Next, the recipe said to add milk powder.

Milk powder… which is milk powder?

Gong Fan looked at the various packets around the kitchen counter. Most of them were imported ingredients. If they were printed in English, he could understand them. However, some of them were in Italian, and some were in French… Moreover, even in English, he did not understand what this thing was for.

So he decided to taste the ingredients to identify them.

Milk powder. It should be easy to identify. He dipped a finger into one of the packs on the table and tasted a little bit…

Oooh?

What was this? It was astringent and the powder was a little slippery… And a hint of bitterness… That was probably not milk powder. Milk powder should be sweet.

He tasted the content of another package… Flour?

Gong Fan tasted many kinds of powders and finally found milk powder.

He immediately felt relieved!

Found you at last. Luckily I didn't give up!

He was extremely emotional. And now he needed to gently introduce the milk powder into the mixing bowl.

Crash!

"…" Gong Fan was stumped.

Looking at about half a basin of milk powder, he panicked a little.

It seemed… a little too much?

However, the recipe did not say how much milk powder to add? This amount should be about right? If he added too much milk powder, then he could increase the amount of the subsequent ingredients and it should all work out. Besides, he liked milk powder.

Having decided this, the boy braced himself and continued.

He cracked four eggs and accidentally dropped some small fragments of egg shell into the mix. The fragments embedded themselves into the sticky liquid and he couldn't pick them out.

He simply used his chopsticks and finally picked out the pieces. One by one, he added the other ingredients… Dry yeast, flour, and butter. He kneaded the dough and threw it into the breadmaker with a thud.

Yun Shishi was walking past the kitchen when she heard the strange noises. Feeling a little concerned, she slipped in to take a look.

Gong Fan was busy rummaging through the cupboards for the strawberry-flavored chocolate sauce, so he didn't notice Yun Shishi sneaking in.

The dough had risen, and the breadmaker hummed as it worked. Soon, ten minutes went by. Gong Fan opened the breadmaker and reached in with his gloved hands to remove the hot dough.

By now, the dough had risen even more than before.

However… Why did it seem a little hard?

The instructions clearly said that when taken out of the breadmaker, the dough would be softer than before.

Whatever.

Gong Fan used his hand to push the trapped air out, but he accidentally broke the dough apart.

Should he add some water?

Maybe not.

There was no such step in the instructions. This was not yet the last step. Perhaps it was normal.

Well, it made sense.

Gong Fan left the raised dough to cool for ten minutes before starting to fiddle with the strawberry chocolate sauce. The strawberry chocolate sauce was an instant mix, he only needed to mix it in the right proportion.

"Use a rolling pin to roll the raised dough into 1.1 cm thick slices. After rolling, allow it to raise for another five to ten minutes. Use a doughnut mold to cut the dough into the shape of a doughnut. Place the cut dough on a baking sheet sprinkled with flour. Carry out a second raise, heat the oil in the pan. Place the raised doughnut dough in the pan and fry until both sides are golden…" As Gong Fan read the instructions on his cell phone, his head throbbed.
