红曲蔓越莓土司

Oh my, I simply loves this lovely pinkish bread!! My another new attempt on bread making using water roux! The texture is even more fluffy & delicate compared to 中种 Sponge Dough :D

This is how the red yeast rice looks like, I got it at medical hall for 36gm at S$1/-

grinded into powder

can just roll the proofed dough into 1 big roll, but I separate into 3 small loaves instead :d

65C Tangzhong, Water Roux
Ingredient

• 125gm fresh milk/ water
  
• 25gm high protein flour

Method

1. Pour milk into a small saucepan, add in flour and stir till flour is well dissolved.
2. Cook over low heat and whisk continuously till a smooth paste is formed (I do not have a thermo to check whether the dough reaches 65C, but it roughly takes about 2mins)
3. Cover the paste with a cling wrap touching the surface, leave to cool completely before using.

see how delicate the texture is?? :D

红曲蔓越莓土司

• 40gm sugar
• 4gm salt
• 4gm instant yeast
• 70gm Tangzhong
  
• 30gm egg
• 70gm milk
• 20gm unsalted butter, softened
• 60gm dried cranberries, pre-soaked in Rum, drained well before using

Method (hand knead)

1. Combine flour, red yeast powder, sugar, salt & yeast and mix evenly. Combine Tangzhong and mix lightly. Make a well in the centre.
2. Add in egg & milk and mix into a rough dough. Knead for 5mins. Add in softened and knead for another 10mins until the dough is smooth & elastic.
3. Add in dried cranberries and knead till the berries are well incorporated. Cover and proof for 60mins.
4. Lightly punch down the proofed dough and knead to release gas. Divide dough into 180gm each and roll into rounds, rest for 15mins.
5. Roll out each dough into a rectangular shape and roll up like a swiss roll. Seal the seams tightly and place the dough into a well greased loaf pan. Cover and proof for another 1.5hours until double in bulk.
6. Bake in preheated oven at 180 deg cel for 25mins. Remove from oven and unmould immediately and cool completely on wire rack.
