Cocoa Pineapple Bun
Overview
Pineapple bun is a sweet bread originating from Hong Kong. It is named after its golden brown surface and uneven crispy skin that resembles a pineapple after baking. But I don’t like the same thing, so I changed it to chocolate flavor, which feels good~~ Ingredients: Main dough: 250g high-gluten flour, 55g egg liquid, 50g fine sugar, 3g salt, 3g yeast, 120g milk, 25g butter. Cocoa pineapple skin dough: 40g butter, 40g fine sugar, 40g egg liquid, 90g low-gluten flour, 10g cocoa powder. Filling: appropriate amount of bean paste filling

Mix manually until roughly uniform, then turn on the electric egg beater and beat until the color becomes lighter and the volume increases
-
Add egg liquid in portions

Beat evenly; be sure to wait until the egg liquid is completely blended into the butter each time before adding the next time

Turn on the program and knead it into a smooth dough. After the gluten is released, add softened butter
-
Continue to knead the dough to the expansion stage, then cover the surface of the bucket with a damp cloth to continue basic fermentation

Fermentation completed

Take out the dough and knead it evenly to deflate

While the dough is resting, knead the previously prepared cocoa pineapple skin dough and divide it into 12 portions. Shape into balls and set aside

Take a piece of pineapple skin dough and flatten it, then put the bread dough on top
-
After gently pressing, roll it into a round shape with a rolling pin
-
Put an appropriate amount of bean paste filling in the center

Wrap and seal tightly, then place with the seam facing down
-
Use a spatula to make staggered diamond-shaped patterns on the surface of the pineapple skin

Then place the shaped dough into the baking pan one by one
-
Cover the surface with a layer of plastic wrap and leave it at room temperature for final fermentation until it doubles in size

Then put the baking sheet into the third level of the oven preheated at 170 degrees for about 20 minutes
