In addition, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided herein, but one of ordinary skill in the art may recognize applications of other processes and/or use of other materials.

The application is described below with reference to specific embodiments in conjunction with the following drawings:

the first embodiment is as follows:

the bread making process includes three steps:

1. the flour stirring stage, namely the dough kneading stage frequently mentioned by us, mainly aims at fully combining the flour with water to form gluten;

2. the dough proofing stage is divided into three parts, namely basic proofing, intermediate proofing and final proofing. The basic proofing is the first proofing after dough kneading is finished, and dough can expand to about 2-2.5 times of the original dough in the stage; the middle proofing is an exhaust process, and the gas in the dough is exhausted by pressing and other modes, so that the dough is restored to the original size; and finally, proofing, which is generally carried out in baking equipment (such as a bread maker), and after proofing is finished, auxiliary materials such as egg liquid and the like are brushed to directly start baking. Dough is proofed to about 2-2.5 times of the original dough in this stage, and the temperature and humidity in a proofing chamber are high in this stage;

3. the bread baking stage is divided into three parts, namely, the first part, dough is slowly heated to 60 ℃, and yeast is rapidly fermented to generate a large amount of carbon dioxide to expand the bread; the second part, when the bread temperature rises to 60 to 95 ℃, the water vapor and the carbon dioxide leave the bread rapidly to make the bread finally shaped, and the third part, the bread temperature rises to the final temperature, at the moment, the Maillard reaction occurs on the surface of the bread to start coloring, so that the bread making is completed, and the temperature, the humidity and the pressure in the baking chamber (such as a bread maker) have great influence on the bread at the stage, and the appearance and the taste are directly influenced.

Most of the traditional bread makers only have the functions of dough kneading, fermentation, baking and the like.
