GreenTea Chocolate Mixed Bread for the Aspiring Bakers#8 =)

Ingredients:

230g bread flour

70g cake flour

30g sugar

200g milk

1 yolk

1/2tsp salt

20g unsalted butter

4g yeast

10g green tea powder dissolved in 10g boiling hot water

10g cocoa powder dissolved in 10g boiling water

Method:

1. Heat up milk and yolk (beating both) to temperature of 40℃.
2. Knead all ingredients together except green tea and cocoa powder.
3. Divide dough into 3 parts: 1 portion plain, 1 portion mixed with green tea, 1 portion mixed with cocoa powder. Will take awhile of kneading to mix well.

5. Prove all 3 portions of doughs separately for 30 - 40 minutes.

6. Punch air out of dough and prove for another 20 - 30 minutes.

7. Knead flatly all 3 portions into rectangular shape. Stack them up layer by layer - plain bottom, followed by greentea & cocoa. Roll along the length till the end (like rolling swiss roll).

13. Place dough into a well-greased loaf pan and cover it with a lid and prove for 50 - 60 minutes in an enclosed area eg. microwave oven. Or simply put a towel over baking tin.

14. Bake at 180℃ for 25 – 30 minutes.
