German afternoon tea bread

Overview

When I saw the video of Hailan’s German afternoon tea bread, I was immediately attracted to it. This bread is served with sauce, but I also eat it on its own. I made it by hand as shown in the video. I was lazy, so I switched to using a bread machine to knead the dough and leave it. The finished bread was still soft and fragrant.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Put 134 grams of milk, 60 grams of one egg, 36 grams of sugar, and 9 grams of yeast into the bread machine barrel.

   

2. 2 Add 300 grams of bread flour, select a bread program at will, knead it into dough, and cancel the program.

   

3. 3 Add 9 grams of salt and 25 grams of melted butter.

   

4. 4 Select the dough program and start stirring.

   

5. 5 At the end of mixing, cover with wet kitchen paper and ferment until the end of the program.

   

6. 6 Sprinkle a little bread flour on the board and take out the fermented dough.

   

7. 7 After deflating, divide the dough into 12 pieces, roll into balls, grease the surface with oil and let rest.

   

8. 8 Grease the inside of an eight-inch cake mold with butter to prevent it from sticking. Round the dough slightly and place it into the mold.

   

9. 9 Cover with plastic wrap, ferment again until doubled in size, and brush the surface with egg wash.

   

10. 10 Place the mold into the baking pan, preheat the oven to 180°C, set the upper and lower heat, cover the middle and lower layers with tin foil, and bake for about 25 minutes.

    

11. 11 When the top of the bread springs back when pressed with your fingers, remove the tin foil and bake for another four to five minutes until golden brown.
