Milk About340 g

Butter 40 g

Cayennesugar 40 g

Yeast 5 g

Salt 2 g

Egg 1

Cooking Instructions

First of all, prepare all the ingredients you need, flour (you can use high-gluten flour, or whole wheat bread flour)! If you feel that 500 grams of flour is too much at a time, you can reduce the amount
Put the weighted sugar, yeast, and salt into the three corners of the flour and knock in the eggs
Then add cold milk, because the amount of flour used is different, it is recommended not to add all the milk at once
Once the mixing drum is installed, the mixing rod that is installed to mix the dough begins to knead the dough
The first stage is about 10 minutes, depending on how the dough is kneading
Cut the butter into small pieces
Add the butter and continue kneading the dough for about 15 minutes
You can stretch out a piece of dough in your hand, so that the dough is basically kneaded
The kneaded dough is about 26 degrees Celsius and placed in a box ready for the first fermentation
Adjust the fermentation chamber temperature to 25 degrees and the humidity 75 for 45 minutes
The fermented dough is twice the size of the original dough, and it can be pressed by hand without retraction
After the dough is vented, first weigh a piece of 80 grams of dough and divide it into four small doughs, then divide the remaining dough into four large doughs equally, relax for about 15 minutes and start shaping
Take a large dough and knead it into long strips of about 85 cm by hand
Rotate the dough clockwise in a circle to shape the photo (don't roll too tightly, loosen a little)
Then use chopsticks to press out a line in the middle
Take a small dough of 20 grams
Press the noodles little by little with the palm of your hand like this
Make the noodles round one by one (this part will not be kneaded into a small ball)
It is composed of two parts and is in the shape of a leaf
Complete four sets of dough separately
Adjust the fermentation temperature of the oven to 35 degrees, add purified water to the water tank, increase the humidity (the fermentation oven can also be completed), if the oven does not have humidity function, you can add warm water in your own oven to adjust, and ferment for about 45 minutes
After the second round, you can bake it with egg wash, or you can sprinkle cake flour for decoration
If you sprinkle cake flour like me, you can cut some grain on the island, so that it looks better when baked......
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and bake for 25 minutes
The fluffy bread should be brushed too......
