The alkaline water pack that is popular in Germany+
German alkaline bread is a very distinctive bread, because it is soaked in alkaline water before baking, so it has a thin and hard skin and tight internal tissue, which is very chewy, and it tastes good to use it to make sandwiches or eat alone. The traditional alkaline water pack is soaked in thick alkali, which is too corrosive, and I don’t have it, so I use ordinary soda powder and sugar to mix and then cook, so that it looks very similar to the real alkaline water pack in foreign trade, but the taste will be a little sweeter, I like it, so I often make this alkaline water pack. Some children’s shoes will ask, why is there no milk powder in the formula, and the ratio of sugar and salt is also very low? In fact, bread is a grain for foreigners, just like our rice, the taste is relatively light, the point is that the side dishes need to be richer, so that long-term consumption is good for the body.

Cooking tips for lye water packs
It doesn’t matter if the surface of the cooked dough is crumpled, once it is baked at high temperatures, the dough inside will fully expand and the bag will become round. If you want bread to be more chewy, you can cook it in water for a while, and if you don’t like sweetness, you can omit the sugar.
