Sugar Bread (白糖面包)
This is a simple bread which is liked my whole family especially my FIL (which is his fav).
The bread is soft due to 汤种法, I love this method so much as it help the bread to be soft and nice, but I realised is that the bread can't keep longer than three days. Anyway, the bread will be finished within the next day, so that is no issue to it :).
Let get down to see the ingredient for this soft and sweet bread:
Ingredient
230g bread flour
160g cake flour (which I replace by 135g plain flour, 25g corn flour)
100g sugar (which I had reduced to 85g as I will be spreading sugar on the bread itself)
1/2 tsp salt
3 tsp of instant dry yeast
20g milk powder (which I had omitted due to no milk powder available)
2 eggs weigh abt 60g each
15g water/milk
Tangzhong (汤种)75g (15g of bread flour mix with 75g of water/milk)
60g of unsalted butter
Here come the method:
I had used bread machine to help me to mix the dough and for the first proof
below is the ingredient sequence to be placed in the bread machine
egg, tangzhong, water/milk, flour mixture (bread and cake flour shift), sugar (to be put in one corner of the bread pan), salt (another corner of the bread pan), yeast (make a hole in the centre), milk powder (another corner of the bread pan) and lastly butter (to be placed 5 min later when the machine start)
After the first proof, divide the dough into 30g (I can get 14 small dough) and rest the rolled dough for abt 15 min.
Now can start to shape the dough, roll out the dough into oblong shape and roll up in lengthwise.
Place the 收口facing upward getting ready for the second proof for abt 40mins.
After second proof, brush a layer of water on the dough and sprinkle sugar and is ready to bake.
Preheat the oven 180 deg C for abt 15mins.
Invert the bread onto the cooling rack.
Once the bread is cool, is ready for breakfast or tea break (is all depend on you)
Enjoy :)
