Though French baguettes are their<br \/>\n ancestors, Banh Mi rolls are different, with a thinner crust and<br \/>\nsofter, fluffier crumb.<\/p>\n<p>With Richard just back from Saigon, I decided on Banh Mi rolls, my first loaves to bake from Modernist Bread.<\/p>\n<p>I<br \/>\n had tried to make them before, using the only recipe (from Andrea<br \/>\nNguyen) that appears to be circulating in the internet. It wasn&#8217;t bad,<br \/>\nbut, according to my husband (and my own memory from my trip to Vietnam<br \/>\nyears ago), it wasn&#8217;t right, either, no crackly crust, and too chewy.<\/p>\n<p>For<br \/>\n many of Myhrvold&#8217;s breads you can choose between two or (even three)<br \/>\ndifferent formulas, a classic version, a &#8220;best&#8221; version, and a<br \/>\n&#8220;modernist&#8221; approach (with unusual enhancements, like gelatin).<\/p>\n<p>But for Banh Mi, there is only one recipe.<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjNQMsrKv-MQy3uzg_XQ-72lY0MZwcxivC0oUw7ayWKDvEog5wU1CaDo1w-z5-rfNyrDHh0h3QDwGxB0Ui9y5cjk0a0VhPSqZ_ZTGruyV6dgK-kA1j6gLhpNtix0kXPyN5UpuvjF3DvLq_s\/s1600\/Full+page.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1231\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjNQMsrKv-MQy3uzg_XQ-72lY0MZwcxivC0oUw7ayWKDvEog5wU1CaDo1w-z5-rfNyrDHh0h3QDwGxB0Ui9y5cjk0a0VhPSqZ_ZTGruyV6dgK-kA1j6gLhpNtix0kXPyN5UpuvjF3DvLq_s\/s640\/Full+page.jpg\" width=\"491\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Banh Mi recipe page<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>\nThough I often tweak formulas according to my own preferences, this<br \/>\ntime I didn&#8217;t not stray from the Modernist&#8217;s path, awed by the expertise<br \/>\n of the authors. I wondered a bit about the shortening (or lard) in the<br \/>\nbread &#8211; no fat in French baguettes, and why would bakers in a poor Asian<br \/>\n country add a costly enrichment to their dough?<\/p>\n<p>Instead repeating<br \/>\n the mixing procedures and different steps for shaping, and proofing in<br \/>\nevery formula, Modernist Bread refers to detailed instructions in volume<br \/>\n 3 (Techniques and Equipment). Fine.<\/p>\n<p>But would it have killed them (or taken up too much space) to put <strong>oven temperatures<\/strong> and <strong>baking times<\/strong><br \/>\n into the recipes? You had to look under &#8220;filone entry in French Lean<br \/>\nBread Baking Times and Temperatures&#8221;, several pages back, to find them &#8211;<br \/>\n <strong>or not<\/strong>, since there was <strong>no filone<\/strong> in the list!<\/p>\n<p>And why is <strong>cold bulk fermentation<\/strong> only very briefly and cursorily mentioned as an option? Instead, the Techniques section offered <strong>retardation<\/strong> of the <strong>shaped breads,<\/strong> along with fermentation at different room temperatures. Great, if you bake only one loaf &#8211; or have a walk-in refrigerator!<\/p>\n<p>I<br \/>\n started my mixing process, following the Modernist Bread&#8217;s instructions<br \/>\n &#8211; and was confronted with my first question: &#8220;add salt and mix on<br \/>\nmedium-low speed to low gluten development; add melted shortening or<br \/>\nlard, and mix on medium speed to full gluten development.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>How do I<br \/>\n gauge low gluten development? I added the shortening after I mixed in<br \/>\nthe salt, drizzling it slowly into the mixer bowl. But, alas, my gluten<br \/>\ndevelopment was faster, my dough did not welcome the greasy addition,<br \/>\nresisting its incorporation, and, instead, swishing the liquid fat all<br \/>\naround in the bowl.<\/p>\n<p>It took a long time of mixing, until the dough looked somewhat homogeneous &#8211; but it was still coated in grease!<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhNOY9v4rhyphenhyphenAZ-bdu1TUprCNCDC9Idd8H8PFToWl8AAN4VqDoKSKmUfdOHKgkwpdGEY9t-faeSoYBcwVYP8vBWiDZNkFgGDczvM7YsRJrgtu4cjl21UAL4xZBFNlfw-u0VT3bQnrSc2bqow\/s1600\/Banh+Mi+dough+med..jpeg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"575\" data-original-width=\"480\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhNOY9v4rhyphenhyphenAZ-bdu1TUprCNCDC9Idd8H8PFToWl8AAN4VqDoKSKmUfdOHKgkwpdGEY9t-faeSoYBcwVYP8vBWiDZNkFgGDczvM7YsRJrgtu4cjl21UAL4xZBFNlfw-u0VT3bQnrSc2bqow\/s400\/Banh+Mi+dough+med..jpeg\" width=\"333\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">The dough resisted the incorporation of fat<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>No help for that, I had to trust in the mitigating effect of long<br \/>\nfermentation (I did the cold bulk), especially since my 7-qt Kitchen<br \/>\nAid, deciding, &#8220;enough is enough&#8221;, switched itself off to avoid<br \/>\noverheating.<\/p>\n<p>Everything else, shaping and proofing, went according to plan, until it was time to bake.<\/p>\n<p>Modernist Bread <strong>pooh-poohs every steaming measure<\/strong><br \/>\n we poor hobby bakers are able to employ, except for using a Dutch oven<br \/>\nor a covered baker.
