Matcha two-color toast

Overview

I originally wanted to make a three-strand braid, but then I figured out how to divide the white and green dough into 3 equal parts? Alas, let’s braid 4 strands. I tried it once with ordinary dough two months ago, so I’ll try it out today. I looked at the braiding method of the four-strand braid again and again, and quickly went to work. The result was okay. As I edited it, I found the feeling. I used to see other people’s step pictures saying: 3 press 4, 3 press 2, 1 press 2. It made me dizzy and confused. This time I edited it for the second time, and I completely remembered it. There is no need to memorize a few strokes, it just goes on naturally. However, the previous part is still not very regular and requires more practice. I am very satisfied with the finished product of this matcha two-color toast. When the second batch was about to be completed, I chatted with a senior baker on Weibo, asking how to decorate the surface of matcha toast to look good? Sprinkle white sesame seeds or soufflé chips? She said to sprinkle both, you can get two effects, so just for fun, I sprinkled two. In fact, I want to highlight the slicing effect of the toast, and the surface decoration is relatively unimportant. The toast was baked perfectly. When I sliced it the next day, there was no waist shrinkage at all, and the texture of the cut surface looked quite good. I feel like this is the most beautifully textured bread I have ever baked using a bread machine. Matcha powder can also be replaced with cocoa powder, pumpkin powder, purple sweet potato powder, etc., and you can create a variety of colorful toasts. Home baking, on the basis of adhering to the principle of health, you can mix and match the ingredients as you like, as long as you can think of it!
