I've been following Christines's Recipes for a while now.One of the recipe that I've copy through her post is Tangzhong Pumpkin loaf.You can follow her step by step
recipe here:http://en.christinesrecipes.com/2013/11/tangzhong-pumpkin-loaf.html .I think she made it so beautiful.So very eye catching indeed.
I hope you don't mind I shared your recipe here.If you do not wish me to,please tell me so that I can take it down.
Ingredients:
120 gm tangzhong
100 gm pumpkin puree
50 gm whisked egg
110 ml milk
40 gm honey
12 gm milk power
½ tsp salt
350 gm bread flour
2 tsp instant dried yeast
25 gm butter, melted
pumpkin seeds, optional, for garnish
pumpkin seeds, optional, for garnish
Method:
1. Add all ingredients (except butter) into a breadmaker, the wet ingredients first, then followed by the dry ingredients: tangzhong, pumpkin puree, egg, milk, honey, milk powder, salt, flour and yeast. (Note: I used to make a small well in the flour, then add the yeast into it.)
2. Select the “dough” mode (refer to the manual of your breadmaker to select the kneading dough programme). When all ingredients come together, add the butter. Knead until the dough passes the window-pane test.
3. After kneading is finished, let the dough complete the 1st round of proofing in the machine, about 40 minutes, until it doubled in size.
4. Transfer the dough onto a clean floured surface. Deflate and divide into 3 equal portions. Cover with cling wrap, let it rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.
5. Roll out each portion of the dough with a rolling pin into an oval shape. Fold 1/3 from top edge to the middle and press. Then fold 1/3 from bottom to the middle and press. Turn seal downward. Roll flat and stretch to about 30cm in length. With seal upward, roll into a cylinder. With seal facing down, place in the loaf tin. Complete the 2nd round of proofing, until it doubled in size.
6. Brush whisked egg on surface. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top. Bake in a pre-heated 180°C (356°F) oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer onto a wire rack. Let cool completely
Mine turned out soft and fluffy as well although not as beautiful as Christine's one.Actually,it is yellow in colour,but the look of the pictures don't tell it all.Poor camera.
