Master Baker Wu Pao-Chun

烘焙大師吳寶春

Bakers Erin and Kurt are working on a new recipe.

E: Erin　　K: Kurt


E: This new rye bread we're selling is good, but I think it could be better.

K: Once a bakery becomes known for something, people will come from all over to buy it. What do you have in mind?

E: It could be our signature product if we can just improve the taste a little bit.

K: You're right. It's a bit tough, and it needs to be fluffier.

E: My guess is that it's turning out hard because of our current process. Perhaps we need to let the dough rise somewhat longer.

K: Or we could experiment with some new ingredients.

E: Yeah, adding some honey into the mix could give it a sweet touch.

K: Why don't we try a few different things and then do a taste test?

E: Sounds like a plan.

麵包師傅艾琳和柯特正在努力研發新的製作方法（食譜）。

艾琳：我們新販售的這款黑麥麵包還不錯，但是我覺得可以更好。
柯特：一旦一間麵包店以某種商品而聞名，大家都會從四面八方前來購買此種商品。妳有什麼想法嗎？
艾琳：如果我們能夠改善一下味道的話，這款麵包可能會成為我們的招牌商品。
柯特：妳說的沒錯。這款麵包有點硬，需要再鬆軟一些。
艾琳：我猜是因為我們目前的處理流程才讓麵包變硬。也許我們需要讓麵糰發酵得久一些。
柯特：或是我們可以用一些新的原料來做實驗。
艾琳：沒錯，加一些蜂蜜在攪拌的麵糰裡可以讓麵包有甜味。
柯特：我們何不嘗試一些不同的原料然後再來試味道？
艾琳：好主意。
