Watermelon-shaped Hong Kong-style toast (hand-kneaded version)

Overview

Due to cost considerations, toast bought from outside will add many additives that are harmful to the body to make it fluffier (less flour and butter are used) and more durable. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone start making healthy toast for their families. Moreover, the process of hand kneading can achieve the effects of fitness and stress reduction.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 First put all the dry powder in a basin, remember the salt and yeast, and remember to separate them before mixing.

   

2. 2 Add room temperature eggs and milk and stir with chopsticks.

   

3. 3 Just stir it evenly.

   

4. 4 The use of yeast is specially explained here: 1. First of all, yeast is afraid of heat, cold and salt. The optimal fermentation temperature is between 25-35 degrees. Because some recipes recommend heating the liquid ingredients (water/milk) used in the dough to 35 degrees separately, and then pouring in yeast to ferment in advance. 2. The picture shows the yeast poured out of a lid with a diameter of 8, which is approximately 5 grams. If the sensitivity of the scale is low, you can roughly weigh it, but the main premise is "it's better to have more than less". If the dough is not fermented enough, it basically fails.

   

5. 5 Cover or place upside down on the table and let rise for 2 hours. This can also be done by placing the butter at room temperature to soften it.

   

6. 6 Prepare a cup of flour for the flour.

   

7. 7 Place the whole piece of butter on the dough and knead it.

   

8. 8 At the beginning, the picture is a bit unsightly, but don't be discouraged.

   

9. 9 After rubbing it for about 2 minutes, it gradually improved.

   

10. 10 After another 3 minutes, the dough and butter will be thoroughly mixed.

    

11. 11 The next 25-30 minutes are time for fitness + venting anger. The first action we come up with is throwing!

    

12. 12 Next comes rubbing.

    

13. 13 After 25 to 30 minutes, the finger mask will appear.

    

14. 14 After rounding the dough, place it on the table and cover it with a bowl.

    

15. 15 After waking up for about 20-30 minutes, use your fingers to poke a small hole in the dough. If the hole recovers very slowly, it is complete.

    

16. 16 Then divide the dough according to 5:3:2.

    

17. 17 parts are dyed red and 3 parts are dyed green.

    

18. 18 Then roll out the red dough thinly. The width should be slightly narrower than the toast mold, and the length should be as long as possible.

    

19. 19 Sprinkle evenly with raisins.

    

20. 20 Then roll out the white dough and green dough and wrap them.

    

21. 21 Put it into the mold. At this time, you can preheat the oven to 375F/190C.

    

22. 22 The dough should be at least half the size of the tin before going into the oven. After putting it in the oven, adjust 365F/180C and bake for 35 minutes.

    

23. 23 After taking it out, quickly remove it from the mold and let it cool.
