Coconut Milk Loaf Bread 椰奶吐司

I finally got my hands on bread making again and this time I tried a recipe from Carol's bread recipe book which I bought during a staycation in JB some time back.

I prefer reading off books than from the internet. I am quite an old school. Hubby said my recipe book collection is growing and taking up quite abit of our study room space. Oh well, this is one thing he can never stop me from buying (apart from bags! Keke~)

soft and fluffy I could eat it on its own :)

Now back to this bread, a yummy one. It stayed soft even on the 3rd day. 1 way that I can use up my free supply of Kara coconut milk. 

This bread got me hooked on the bread making affair again. What bread should I bake the next round leh?? So many I cannot decide! :P

Coconut Milk Loaf Bread 椰奶吐司 

Recipe adapted from Carol 烘焙新手必備第二本書 (P.280) 
12兩吐司x2組 

材料: 
高筋麵粉270g bread flour (I used total of 300g bread flour) 
低筋麵粉30g  plain flour (Did not use this) 
速發乾酵母 3g instant yeast
細砂糖30g caster sugar

鹽1/8tsp salt
蛋一顆(50g) egg
椰漿 150ml coconut milk (I used Kara coconut cream and it worked well)

作法:
1.第一次發酵後桌上灑些高筋麵粉,將麵團移出到桌面,表面也灑些高筋麵粉
2.將麵團中的空氣用手壓下去擠出來
3.麵團平均分割成12等份滾成圓形,蓋上擰乾的溼布休息15分鐘
4.將麵團擀成橢圓形
5.將捲好的麵團收口朝下朝內間隔適當排入吐司烤模中
6.用手稍微輕輕壓一下使得麵團高度平均
7.在麵團表面噴些水,放在密閉空間中再發酵50-60分鐘
8.麵團約發酵到烤盒約滿模,擦上全蛋液,撒上起司粉
9.放入已經預熱到上火160度C,下火210度C的烤箱中烘烤約35分鐘
10.出爐後馬上從烤模中倒出來,放在鐵網架上放涼

1. If using bread machine, add wet ingredients (coconut milk and egg) into bread machine, and top with bread flour.

2. Place caster sugar at one corner of bread flour, and salt on the opposite corner.  Make a hole in centre of bread flour and spoon in yeast, cover with bread flour.  Put bread machine to start its mixing and kneading process.

3. I just let my bread machine do the mixing of ingredients and remove the dough to knead manually when the dough comes together.

4. As per the usual, knead till bread is elastic and reaches window pane stage.

5. Mould bread into round shape and leave in bowl to proof for 50 to 60min or till double in size.

6. Remove bread and knock out excess air.  Divide into 6 equal portions and shape into round dough, place them into greased bread loaf tin.  Spray top of dough with some water and cover with a cloth and leave to proof  for an hour.  

7. Preheat oven to180dec C.

8. Beat whole egg and brush dough top with eggwash, put to bake in preheated oven for 35 to 38min.
