Sweet Bread with Fillings 2
This recipe is a slightly different than the other sweet bread , the only difference is the method of kneading the dough . I used food processor , and i used my own hand to knead them for a good 10-15 minutes afterwards . The result is amazing !! Light and soft bread !!
4 tbsp. of unsalted butter , melted
1/2 cup of milk ( i used 2% , if you have whole it’s even better , but i’ve done 1% too and it’s not bad at all , just don’t use skim milk )
2 eggs
1/6 cup of sugar
1 1/8 tsp. of active yeast
pinch of salt
2 c – 2 1/8 cups of bread flour
any fillings you choose , hazelnut spread , strawberry jam , grape jelly or sweet red beans fillings .. etc
Melt the butter and set aside . Make sure all the wet ingredients are chilled . Then after 5 minutes , beat the eggs and milk then slowly pour this mixture into the warm butter while whisking it . Then add the warm butter mixture into the egg milk mixture . Once it’s done , set aside .
Mix the dry ingredients together , pulse few times in the food processor , i don’t add salt yet , i add it later on , afraid it might kill the yeast . Then while pulsing it , add the butter milk egg mixture slowly into the food processor until the dough starts to shape . You might need to add a little flour , it should be done once the bowl is clean from any dough . Take it out , and hand knead it for 10-15 minutes . Let it rise until it doubles , then take them out and shape them , let it rise for 2nd time and brush with egg yolks and bake at 325 F for about 12-15 minutes .
