Brown sugar longan whole wheat bread
Overview
With whole wheat flour at home, the first thing I thought of was to make this bread. Jin Dawang’s recipe did not disappoint me (I added a little more brown sugar and reduced the butter a little). The brown sugar and longan are full of flavor. The most important thing is that you don’t need to knead it to the expansion stage required for ordinary bread. You only need to knead it smooth. You can do it by hand. It’s great!
