【Honeycomb Bread】
by MaomaoMom
One of MaomaoMom’s website visitors has asked me to make this supper soft honeycomb bread. I combined a few recipes and made some modifications to come out with this recipe. The bread is so soft, light and puffy, just like cotton balls. You’ve got to try this. I’m sure that you will fall in love with it.
Prepare time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Stand time: 2-3 hours
Level: Medium
Serves: 16 servings
Ingredients:
Dough:
1) 1 large egg, 105 ml milk (105g), 4 tbsp sugar (55g);
2) 1 & 2/3 cups unsifted all purpose flour (266g), 1.5 tbsp wheat gluten, ½ tsp baking powder, 1.25 tsp fast rising yeast;
3) 1.5 tbsp corn oil;
Bottom dip:
4) 1.5 tsp sugar, 1.5 tsp all purpose flour, 2 tsp white sesame seeds;
Others:
5) 4 tbsp corn oil; 1 tsp white sesame seeds;
6) 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp boiling hot water.
Directions:
Dough:
1: Place all ingredients of Ingredient 1) in bread machine, then add all ingredients in Ingredient 2) (Picture 1). Select “Dough” and start program. When the stirring begins, open the lid and quickly add 1.5 tbsp corn oil. Close the lid and let the program continue until finish. The entire process takes about 2 hours.
2: When the dough doubles in volume (Picture 2), gently knead a few times on a floured surface. Divide it into eight equal portions (Picture 3), cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 10 minutes. Roll one portion into a 20-cm long oval (Picture 4) then roll it up into a roll (Pictures 5-6). Cover with plastic wrap and set aside. Repeat to finish the other 7 portions.
3: Mix all ingredients of Ingredient 4) in a small bowl. Evenly grease a 9-inch round baking pan (best to use a non-stick baking pan) with 1 tsp corn oil (Picture 9). Cut each roll to half (Picture 7). Dip the bottom of each half in water, then in the dipping mixture (Picture 8). Place all 16 rolls evenly apart in the greased baking pan (Picture 10), best to use non-stick baking pan.
4: Press down evenly on top of each roll with your index finger. Cover with plastic wrap and leave in a warm place for 1 hour until the volume doubles.
5: Preheat oven at 350F. Brush with 3 tsp corn oil (Picture 11), and sprinkle 1 tsp sesame seeds on top (Picture 12). Bake about 15 minutes until surface turns golden (Picture 13).
6: Remove from oven and brush with honey water mixture (Picture 14). Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips:
1：Store the leftover honeycomb bread in fridge in an air-tight container. Reheat in microwave oven for about 15 seconds before serving.
Hi there to all, how is the whole thing, I think every one is getting more from this web site,
and your views are good for new visitors.
Great post. I used to be checking continuously this blog and I
am inspired! Extremely helpful information specifically the last part 🙂 I take care of such info a lot.
I used to be looking for this particular information for a very
long time. Thanks and good luck.
Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the net the simplest
thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely
get irked while people think about worries that they just don’t know about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole
thing without having side effect , people could take a signal.
Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
First off I want to say great blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like
to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how
you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing.
I’ve had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.
I truly do take pleasure in writing but it
just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas
or hints? Kudos!
