3. Meat Floss Bread  肉松面包

Milk Bread
  • 500 g Bread flour All purpose [ that is, low gluten flour]  will also work if you don't have bread flour
  •  280 g Water  Or milk
  •  15 g Milk powder
  •  55 g Sugar
  •  7 g Sea salt
  •  1 Large egg
  •  5 g Instant dry yeast
  •  40 g Unsalted butter
Filling
  •  100 g Pork floss, 50g for each loaf
  •  1 cup Chopped green onion, *Green parts only
  •  ½ cup Kewpie mayo, Divided between 2 loafs
  •  ¼ cup Condensed milk, Optional

Toppings
  • Egg wash and sesame seeds
  • OR  Additional mayo and pork floss
  • OR   Grated cheeses


Instructions
Making dough

1 Add water or milk, sugar, milk powder, yeast, egg, salt and the bread flour into a mixing bowl and mix with a spoon or spatula. Once the liquids have been absorbed, continue to knead by hand or in a stand mixer on low.

2 When the dough has become one, add in the soften butter and mix again to combine all the butter into the dough. When that’s happened, knead on speed 3 for 10-15min. Or until you have a very elastic dough with well developed gluten strands.

3 To test, you should be able to stretch the dough very thin without it tearing. Then form into a ball and cover to leave it for it’s first rising in a warm humid place.

4 When the dough had more than doubled in size, which can take any where between 1-2 hours, punch out the air and divide into 2 equal pieces. and shape those into balls and let them rest for 10min.

Shaping the loaves
5 Roll out each dough into a rectangular shape of approx. 40 x20 cm. Or whatever width that would fit in your preferred loaf pan.

6 Spread the Kewpie mayo generously and evenly on half of the rolled out rectangular dough. And sprinkle the pork floss generously on top of the mayo, followed by the chopped green onion.

7 When the toppings are in place, fold the other side of the dough over top to cover the filling entirely. Use a dough cutter or knife and cut 1cm wide stripes down the folded dough, leaving a 1-2cm area un cut on the top.

8 Then taking one strip at a time, twist it in one direction so that each strip is now a spiral of dough plus dough with filling layered in between. When they are all done, flatten out the ends and start to roll the entire loaf from top,

9 Once you get to the end, leave the loaf on its seams and press either sides to compact the shape. Carefully lift and put this into your loaf pan. Cover and let it rise for the second time.


Baking
10 Another 45min-1hr later, the  shaped loaf should be ready for the oven. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds or any other topping you would like. Put into a 350F/180C oven for 25-30min.

11 Once baked, removed from pan immediately and leave the loaves to cool down on a wire rack.
