Earlier on, we went to the supermarket and I bought some ingredients for the filling. The filling is all depend on individual preference. You can stuffed it with meat..just vegetable..berries with cream cheese or anything that you want. Since it's for dinner, I decided to fill it with pepperoni, pork slices, pasta sauce and of course cheese!
Here are the ingredients for the dough. It is the same with any bread dough that I done previously and this one, I add tangzhong.
- 21/2 cup of flour
- 2 tsp of dry yeast or 20 gm of fresh yeast
- 1/2 cup of tangzhong ( 1/3 cup of flour + 1 cup of water. Whisk flour + water over medium heat until the mixture thickens and swirl lines appear)
- 3 tbsp of butter
- 3 tbsp of sugar
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup of warm milk ( 30second in the microwave)
1. Mix the yeast with milk, sugar, egg & tangzhong in a measuring cup & stirred will until all ingredients are well mix.
2. Combine the flour and salt.
3. Add the wet mixture into the flour mixture by creating a well in the middle of the flour mixture. Knead the dough and adding some flour until the dough is no longer stick on your hand. Add the butter (soften) and knead the dough again. Using a floured working board, knead the dough for a few minutes until it is elastic.
4. Let it stand for few hours or until it double the size. Then start rolling the dough into a rectangular shape. Using a knife or in my case, I just use pizza cutter to cut 'strips' on the left and right of the rectangle. Leave the middle third uncut.
5. Spread the filling in the middle. Then continue to 'braid' the dough strips all the way down to the bottom. Wrap the last few strips underneath the loaf.
6. Brush the top of the dough with the egg wash and sprinkle some cheese ( or anything you fancy). Baked for 20-25 minutes in a 185C temp oven.
And dinner is serve! It's better to eat it while it is still hot and fresh out from the oven. Enjoy your meal.
