Ingredients
Steps
-
The yeast powder in the main ingredient is dissolved with milk and formed into a dough with the high-gluten flour. The milk can be at room temperature or slightly warm, just try to keep it below body temperature. There is no need to over mix the dough, just form a ball.
-
Put the dough into a plastic bag, flatten it and tie it, leaving room for expansion, and put it in the refrigerator to ferment overnight. The reason why the dough is flattened and refrigerated is to ensure that the temperature of the outer layer of the dough and the inner core of the dough are consistent, so that the dough can ferment evenly.
-
Take out the fermented medium-sized dough, break it into small pieces, add other ingredients in the auxiliary ingredients, knead into a smooth dough, and ferment until doubled in size
-
Divide into portions of equal size
-
Knead into several small balls and ferment for 20 minutes. Brush the surface with egg wash. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven at 150 degrees for about 15 minutes
-
Take it out and let it cool slightly. Take the darker colored ones and use a carving knife to lightly draw a rough outline on the surface
-
Use a carving knife to peel off a layer of the epidermis, and the little monkey's face has basically appeared. You can also directly cut out the facial contour without retaining the facial features. However, because the crust of the bread is smoother, it will be smoother when coated with chocolate
-
Take two chocolate coins, make grooves of similar size on the left and right sides of the little monkey's head, insert the chocolate coins halfway, and the little monkey's ears are completed
-
Use melted chocolate over water to color the mouth, nostrils, eyes and eyebrows, and then draw the eyelashes and vellus hair on the top of the head
