Crispy Melon Bread

I wanted to make melon bread with a really crispy, crunchy outer layer, and after much trial and error I came up with this recipe.

Ingredient

Food ration :

10 servings

200 grams

total when combined with egg, Water

130 grams

Margarine, with 2-3 drops vanilla essence

15 grams

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Add the bread flour, sugar, salt, and dry yeast to a bowl. Warm the water to the touch, then combine it with the egg and pour into the bowl in one go. Whisk everything together with chopsticks.

* Step 2

Knead a little and once the dough has gathered into a ball add the margarine and knead further for roughly 10 minutes. Wrap with cling film and leave to proof until doubled in size.

* Step 3

Whilst the dough is proving, prepare the cookie dough. Cream the margarine in a bowl, add the sugar and mix well.

* Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla essence and mix again. Then sift in the cake flour and fold in gently with a spatula.

* Step 5

Once the dough has gathered into a ball, form it into a log, wrap and let it rest in the fridge.

* Step 6

Once the dough from Step 2 has finished proving, gently punch down, separate into 10, form into balls and leave to rest for 20 minutes. Once it has rested, punch down gently again and re-shape into balls.

* Step 7

Whilst that dough is resting, go back to your cookie dough. Slice into 10 portions and roll into balls.

* Step 8

Place the cookie dough on a piece of cling film and roll into a circle.

* Step 9

Place the ball of bread dough on top of the cookie dough and gently wrap the cookie dough around it.

* Step 10

Put some sugar on a plate and roll the melon bread around on it to coat a little.

* Step 11

Feel free to mark the surface with a knife to get the traditional melon bread pattern or leave it as it is and prove for a second time for 40 minutes. Bake for 17 minutes in an oven preheated to 170℃ for 17 minutes to finish.
