hi-calcium pig-pig milk bread roll 高钙鲜奶小猪猪餐包 (*-ω-)

there had been many piggy-shaped bakes and desserts and i wondered why there was never one of the piggy’s butt? ⊆（⌒◎⌒）⊇

Ingredients (makes a 450g loaf)

143g fresh milk
35g egg
25g caster sugar
5g salt
250g bread flour
4g instant dry yeast
38g butter, softened

Directions

– mix all ingredients together, except butter and knead till you get a soft and pliable dough
– add in butter, and incorporate well. knead till window pane stage and allow to proof till double in size
– punch dough down and divide into 3 equal portions. allow dough to rest for 15 mins
– roll out the dough and roll up tightly (swiss roll style). place in 450g loaf pan and allow to rise till 80-90 percent full
– cover the pan, and bake on lower rack in preheated oven of 200 degrees C for 40 mins

Personal notes:

– i halved the recipe and made eight 30g buns
– i used 100g bread flour, and 25g cake flour
– shape piggies as follows:

head: roll a portion of dough into a tight ball

using a small scissors, snip 2 corners at the top of the dough

flip the corners up to form the ears. set aside to rise and proceed to shape the bump

take another portion of dough, and pinch a very small portion out of it. roll this small portion into a thin rope

roll the dough out into a flat disc

fold it into half

then take both ends of the semi-circle…

and join them together

twirl the rope

… and place it just slightly above the legs. and you’ve got the tail *@*

allow the dough to proof. meantime, cut out eyes from seaweed (using punches)

punch 2 holes in thin slices of hot dog with a piping tip

place seaweed (eyes) and hot dog (nose) on the face, and viola! your piggy buns are ready for baking

… and cool the buns （*＾＾）/~~~~~~~~~~◎

and you have your little pig pig milk bread….  (⁎⁍̴ڡ⁍̴⁎)
