Santa Bread

Overview

The traditional Western Christmas that young people love is about to make its debut; although there is still some time before the festival, there is already a strong Christmas atmosphere on the streets~~~ I always belatedly realized, should I do something to celebrate the occasion? Haha: It seems complicated but it is actually much easier than other shaped breads. If you don’t believe me: try it too~~~

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare relevant ingredients

   

2. 2 Mix the main ingredients except butter and knead it into a ball, then put it in the refrigerator to ferment

   

3. 3 Take out the torn pieces and add the softened butter to start the dough kneading process

   

4. 4 After completion, ferment again until 2.5 times in size

   

5. 5 Take out the dough to deflate, then divide it into small doughs according to the following proportions, cover with film and let rest for 20 minutes. A. Divide the dough according to the total weight: into 2 parts (two Santa Clauses) B. Divide one part of the dough into 3 parts, the proportions are 50% ( body), 30% (beard), 20% (nose, hat brim and pom-poms on the hat) C. Split 20% of the small dough into 3 parts, the proportions are: 6 (hat brim), 2 (nose), 2 (pom poms on the hat)

   

6. 6 Take a portion of 50% large dough: roll it into a large water-shaped dough (the length is determined by the size of your baking pan), and move it to a baking pan lined with oil paper as the body part of Santa Claus

   

7. 7 Take a portion of 30% medium dough: roll it into a semi-circular dough, then cut it into several long strips with a spatula, leaving a small part uncut

   

8. 8 Then twist each long strip a few times to serve as Santa's beard, and cover it with the lower part of the drop-shaped pastry (that is, Santa's body part)

   

9. 9 Finally, roll the remaining three small pieces of dough into long strips and balls: place them on the dough as hat brim, nose and pom-poms respectively, and decorate two grapes into Santa Claus eyes
