How to make caterpillar bread
1.
Mix all the ingredients (except butter), knead into a smooth dough, add butter and knead until complete, and perform basic fermentation
2.
Ferment the dough until it doubles in size
3.
Flatten the dough slightly, use a dough cutter to divide the dough into 4 equal parts (about 90 grams each), divide Tighten the weighed dough, roll it into a round shape, cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes
4.
Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a beef tongue shape
5 .
Lift the rolled out dough, turn it over, and fold both sides toward the center
6.
Fold it inward and pinch it tightly, and turn it over. (I added bean paste filling to two of the buns)
7.
Place the shaped dough evenly on a baking sheet lined with oilcloth
8.
Put the baking sheet into the oven, put two small cups of cold water at the bottom of the oven, turn on the "fermentation" function of the oven, and perform the second fermentation, about 40-60 minutes
< p>9.During the second fermentation of the dough, make the puff batter for surface decoration:
a Put the salad oil, water and softened butter into a basin and cook over low heat to boiling.
10.
b Turn off the heat and add high-gluten flour
11.
c Stir quickly with chopsticks
12.
d After bringing the dough to body temperature, add the beaten whole egg liquid in batches
13.
e Add a little egg liquid each time , stir again, and stir the batter repeatedly into a batter that can be pulled into sharp corners. (If the batter is too dry, you can add a little egg liquid
14.
f Put a No. 7 round nozzle into the piping bag, and put the mixed batter into the piping bag.
15.
When the dough in the mold has fermented to 2 times in size, brush the surface with egg wash
16.
Pour the batter onto the fermented bread and brush it with egg wash.
17.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees for 10 minutes. Since each oven has different temperaments, I will bake the caterpillar bread. The actual operation is to set the upper heat to 150 degrees and the lower heat to 170 degrees. In order to save electricity, I put the bread in two baking pans at the same time. The original baking pan is placed on the second layer and the three-function baking pan is placed on the bottom layer. Bake for 7 seconds. minutes; switch the positions of the two baking trays and bake for 6 minutes; finally switch the positions of the two baking trays again, cover the upper layer with tin foil, adjust the upper tube to 140 degrees and the temperature of the lower tube remains unchanged, bake for 7 minutes, and finally 20 minutes.
18.
After the finished product is baked, pour it out of the mold and place it on the grill to cool
