Assalamualaikum w.b.t
A little different post this time. May this recipe benefits those who are looking for Custard Bread.. Easy to make and greet your morning aroma with this as this does not require a lot of fermenting time. Tried, tested & altered from my kitchen and happy to share.
Bread:
2 1/4 cups of all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of yeast
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of sugar
2 eggs - 1 for egg wash
some butter
3/4 cup of fresh / low-fat milk
:: Pre-heat oven 160 degrees C. Mix all dry ingredients, make a well and add in egg, butter and milk in the centre. Mix and knead lightly for a few minutes. Let raise for at least one and a half hour in a well greased bowl. Punch down dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough, cut into a small sized square. Cut each corners almost to the centre and this will form a pyramid-like pieces. Fill the custard in the centre (can even spread the custard on the dough and place a bit more in the centre - choice is yours), cross and bring opposite end of the dough in the centre. As a result, you will have a nice flower-like bread with filling - as shown in picture below.. Let it raise again for at least 15 minutes, covered with tea towel. Brush the surface with egg wash (egg + a bit of water), bake for 20 minutes or until golden. !rush with butter on top of bread.
Custard Filling:
1 tablespoon of corn starch
1/2 cup of fresh milk
Some condensed milk and sugar - according to your preferred sweetness
1 tablespoon of vanilla essence
:: Mix all in a saucepan on low heat, stir until bubbly.
InsyaAllah...
::Allah Knows Best::
