👉🏻Ingredients list⚠️
High-gluten flour: 500g
Milk: 200ml
Dry yeast: 7g
Sugar: 20g
Salt: 5g
Butter: 40g
Eggs: 2
Bacon: as needed
Black pepper: as needed
Cream cheese (optional): as needed
👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:
Place milk, sugar, salt, and egg liquid (reserve some for brushing the surface) at the bottom of the bread machine. Add flour above and make a small hole in the flour. Pour warm water-activated dry yeast into the hole.
Select the dough program on the bread machine to mix and ferment until a smooth dough is formed.
Remove the dough, deflate it, divide it into several portions, and cover with plastic wrap for 10 minutes to relax.
Roll each portion of dough into a rectangle, spread a thin layer of butter evenly, sprinkle with black pepper, and lay bacon strips on top.
Roll up the dough, cut it into thin strips, and then braid them into a wreath shape, connecting the ends.
Place in a warm and humid environment for secondary fermentation until the dough doubles in size.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius, brush the surface of the bread with the remaining egg liquid, and bake in the middle rack of the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Remove and let cool. Optionally, sprinkle with cream cheese crumbs or other decorations, and tie with a ribbon.
👉🏻✨TIPS
Activate the yeast with warm water and avoid direct contact with salt.
Give the dough sufficient relaxation time during shaping to prevent cracking.
Spray some water before baking to increase the bread's gloss.
