Creative Bread Autumn Harvest

Overview

Autumn is often said to be golden! Indeed, she brings abundant fruits to nature and rewards many creatures with countless food to extend their lives...! Autumn means a good harvest in the eyes of farmers! In the eyes of a lover, it is a beautiful picture... With the arrival of several autumn rains, the picture of autumn is gently unfolded, and the messenger of autumn comes gently. She drives away the hot summer and calls in the cool autumn wind to bring refreshment. She weaves a flower basket, and the basket is filled with various gifts that embellish all things. It is so beautiful! The Mid-Autumn Festival is the most affectionate part of autumn. Relatives, lovers, and friends gather together and have a great time! On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I would like to use this [Autumn Harvest] flower basket to wish you all a fruitful harvest and full of love in this beautiful, mature, lovely, and passionate autumn...! !

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 First make the flower basket: pour the basket materials into the basin

   

2. 2 Stir well with chopsticks

   

3. 3 Mix well and then move to the kneading board and knead until the dough is smooth, cover with plastic wrap and rest for half an hour

   

4. 4 After resting, sprinkle a little flour on the kneading surface and use a rolling pin to roll out the dough

   

5. 5 Roll out and cut into long, even strips

   

6. 6 Turn the six-inch cake mold upside down and wrap it with tin foil. Place the cut strips evenly across the entire mold

   

7. 7 Then take the same number of long strips and place them vertically and weave them one up and one down

   

8. 8 Use two longer noodles to weave the last four weeks according to the same rules

   

9. 9 Take two twisted noodles and use them as basket ears

   

10. 10 Brush with egg wash and bake in the middle of a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes

15. 15 If you like it darker, you can bake it for five more minutes

    

16. 16 Now let’s make pumpkin bean paste bread: Pour all the ingredients for pumpkin bread except butter into a mixing bowl (it’s best to steam the pumpkin puree and then sift it, so it will be more delicate)

    

17. 17 Use chopsticks to mix evenly, then move to the kneading board and start kneading the dough (if you have a bread machine, leave it to the bread machine). It will be a little sticky at the beginning, so please don’t rush to add flour

19. 19 Knead the dough until a thin film can be pulled out

    

20. 20 Cover with plastic wrap and ferment until the dough doubles in size

    

21. 21 After deflating, divide it into nine equal parts and cover with plastic wrap to rest for fifteen minutes. At this time, divide the bean paste filling into nine equal parts and set aside

    

22. 22 Take a piece of loose dough and roll it out slightly, then wrap it with red bean paste filling, with the seam facing down

    

23. 23 First wind the cotton thread around the dough to make the character "ten"

    

24. 24 Finally, wind out the word "rice" and tie it up (you can also put the cotton thread directly on the panel into the shape of "rice" and then put the dough on it and tie it up, it depends on your personal preference)

    

25. 25 After everything is wrapped, place it on a baking sheet for secondary fermentation

    

26. 26 Ferment until 1.5 times in size

    

27. 27 Place in the middle rack of the preheated oven at 180 degrees and bake for 25 minutes

    

28. 28 After taking it out of the oven and letting it cool, gently untie the cotton thread, insert biscuit sticks and put on the leaves

    

29. 29 Now make the apple buns: Pour all the ingredients for the apple buns except butter into a basin

    

30. 30 Stir evenly with chopsticks and then move to the kneading surface and knead until the dough is smooth

    

31. 31 Add the softened butter and continue kneading

    

32. 32 Knead well and cover with plastic wrap to ferment until doubled in size

    

33. 33 After deflating, divide into seven equal parts, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for fifteen minutes

    

34. 34 After making a ball, place it on a baking sheet for secondary fermentation

    

35. 35 After fermentation, gently insert the biscuit sticks and bake in the middle rack of the preheated oven at 180 degrees for 25 minutes

    

36. 36 Let cool and then decorate with leaves
