Chocolate flower bread

Overview

I've been lazy lately, and I haven't made bread for a long time. Whenever it's breakfast time and I don't know what to eat, I'll secretly blame myself for being lazy! Yesterday, I made an appointment with my friend Rourou to make this flower-shaped bread together. After referring to other people’s shapes and flour amounts, we got up and started making it! People, sometimes you just need a word of encouragement from a good friend to remind yourself to act as soon as possible~~ This is the first time I used this 8-inch non-stick cake mold. It turns out that it is so thin, and the bottom and sides of the bread are quite darkly colored. It seems that I will try lowering the temperature next time.
