Instructions of Making Chigiri Matcha Bread
| Step | Method |
|---|---|
| 1. | In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, matcha powder, milk powder, instant yeast, and egg. Mix while gradually pouring in the water. Knead until the dough comes together evenly. |
| 2. | Add margarine and salt. Knead again until the dough is soft, elastic, and smooth. Shape into a ball and cover with a clean cloth. Let rest for 15 minutes. |
| 3. | Deflate the dough and divide it into 10 equal portions. Shape each into a ball. |
| 4. | Flatten each ball with a rolling pin, shaping the top part into a triangle. Add a small amount of chocolate sprinkles and grated cheese in the center, then roll up the dough. Arrange the filled rolls in a greased baking pan. Repeat until all dough portions are filled and placed. Let the rolls rise until doubled in size. |
| 5. | Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) for 10 minutes. Brush the tops of the dough rolls with liquid milk. Bake for 20 minutes, or adjust based on your oven settings. |
| 6. | Once baked, immediately brush the tops with margarine or butter for a glossy finish. Serve warm and enjoy! |
