Green Tea Bread Loaf
(Recipe adapted & modified from Frozen Wings)
Ingredients:
300g Bread flour
30g caster sugar
1/4 tsp salt
3g bread improver
1 1/4 tsp instant yeast
180ml water
20g butter
1 Tbsp green tea powder
some oats for decoration
Method:
1. Combine flour, sugar , salt , yeast & water in a mixer and mix well till smooth dough is formed.
2. Add in butter till dough is smooth & shiny.
3. Divide dough into 2 portions & add in the green tea powder into one portion & mix till dough is even colour.
4. Divide each dough into 2 portions, so now altogether 2 portions of plain dough and 2 portions of green tea dough.
5. Roll dough out & shape them into rectangle
6. Stack the layers alternately, flatten the dough & roll them up tight.
7. Place in a lightly greased loaf tin & let proof for an hour.
8. Bake in a preheated oven 180C for 30 mins.
Noticed the loaf on the left is green while the loaf on right is white? Hehehe, this is because I wrapped the plain dough inside the green tea dough (left loaf) & did the opposite for the other side (right loaf).
My swirl is not so pretty due to my lack of skills in rolling of bread ;PLena (from frozen wings) & Min (from Min's Blog) did a good job! Do hop over their blog to have a glance at their beautiful swirl ;)
