Kumamon x Hello Kitty Chocolate Meal Bag

Overview

Hello Kitty likes to form alliances with popular celebrities everywhere; in 2014, it formed an alliance with Kumamon, Japan’s first local civil servant, and launched a cute cat wearing a cute panda skin, setting off another whirlwind of cuteness. If you have children at home, you can let them do it together, and the children will also like it~ ps. I didn’t intend to join in the conversation, but accidentally entered the semi-finals, and then gradually became serious... (laughing)

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Put the milk, high-gluten flour, sugar, salt (do not touch the sugar), and dry yeast (do not touch the salt or sugar) into the bread machine in sequence, select the dough mode (1 fermentation), and make bread dough. After starting for about 5 minutes, add the butter that has returned to room temperature and continue making the dough.

   

2. 2 minutes after adding the butter, pause the bread machine and take out 1/3 of the dough; put the remaining 2/3 of the dough back into the bread machine and let the bread machine continue to run. Heat the black cocoa powder in water and mix thoroughly, then add it into 1/3 of the dough in batches and knead evenly to color. Knead into a round shape when finished.

   

3. 3 Pause when the bread machine enters the fermentation mode, round 2/3 of the dough and put it back, sandwich a piece of baking paper in the middle, put 3. of the black cocoa dough, and then continue to start the bread machine for fermentation.

   

4. 4 After the bread machine completes fermentation and stops, take out the black and white dough. First, divide an 8g piece of black dough; divide the remaining black and white dough into 4 equal portions, knead into balls, cover with a fermentation cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.

   

5. 5 After the dough has risen, take the white dough first. First roll out the white dough, fold it in half and then knead it into a round shape. Then roll it into a dough shape. Wrap in 5 pieces of drop-shaped chocolate respectively. Knead the surrounding dough into the middle, and then gently shape the dough into a round shape.

   

6. 6 Roll out 4 large black dough pieces, fold them in half, knead them into a round shape, and then roll them into a dough shape.

   

7. 7 Wrap 2/3 of the dough of 6. with the dough of 6.; the unwrapped part is Hello Kitty’s face.

   

8. 8 Coat the muffin mold with a thin layer of unsalted butter. Put the prepared 7. dough in, cover with a fermentation cloth, and ferment for 40 minutes.

   

9. 9 Divide 8g of black dough into 8 portions, roll into rounds to serve as bear ears, and ferment for the same 40 minutes.

   

10. 10 Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Arrange the fermented ear patches on the fermented dough. If it is difficult to fix, you can use cold boiled water to slightly moisten the pasted area to help it fit.

    

11. 11 Place the mold into an oven preheated to 180 degrees C, bake for 5 minutes, cover with baking paper, and lower the temperature to 130 degrees and bake for 10 minutes.

    

12. 12 After the bread is baked, place it on a cooling rack to cool (I accidentally knocked off a little ear...)

    

13. 13 Put the white chocolate, dark chocolate and strawberry chocolate into heat-resistant plastic bags, soak them in hot water and melt them. Then cut a small hole in the corner of the plastic bag and use it as a paintbrush to draw the faces of Kumamon and Hello Kitty.

    

14. 14 The eyes of Kumamon are almost aligned with the inside of the ears, the mouth is larger, and the nose is an inverted triangle. Remember to apply two big puffs of blush on the cheeks close to the eyes (I haven’t done it yet in this picture).

    

15. 15 Hello Kitty's eyes are oval-shaped, and the eyes should be widely separated. The bottom of the eyes is about the same height as the nose, and there are three kitten whiskers on the cheeks. It’s not too troublesome to draw, and it will look more like adding a bow on the head~
