C Cup Soft Bread 超软C-Cup甜面包

My sexy bread! lol...

Super soft and fragrant. Very little yeast is used in this recipe. The whole process from proofing to baking took about 6 hours to complete.

[Year 2015] My little picky eater has a very good tastebud. Whenever I tried to bake those 40 minutes or 50 minutes bread recipes, he never asked for 2nd bite (the first bite would stay in his mouth for a very long....), but these 6 hours bread, he ran to me and asked for more! and his review is: 'nice, mommy, very very nice. Next week please make this again'.

The method is simple, the original recipe is five thousand dollar bread but I changed some of the ingredients and method that the bread turned out to be more fluffy than my first bake which follow exactly the original recipe. But this recipe required longer proofing time. So, whoever happened to read my blog here and wants to try this beautiful bread, spare the time and you'll get to taste this lovely and yummy C Cup Bread! :)

Added some charcoal powder to make these lovely naturally coloured soft bread.

Method:

1. Mix (A) in a mixer bowl. Add in (B). Use a spoon or mixer's dough hook to mix until it form a sticky dough. This is the starter dough. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and let it rest for about 2.5 hours.

把(A)混合，加入（B) 搅拌均匀。盖上保鲜纸，室温待发至浮现蜂窝状，大概两个半小时。

2. Monitor closely after 2 hours. When you see the 'bubbling' effect and the centre of the dough starting to topple, that's the time to add in (C) and (D).
当面团的中心开始下陷时（待发大概两小时后就要注意看看），加入（C) 和（D)。

注意：材料(C) 和(D) 必须分别放在碗里混合了才加入。

3. In a bowl, mix together (C) ingredients. In another bowl, mix together (D) ingredients. When the starter dough is ready, add in (C) and (D)

4. Mix until it forms a shiny dough. (For KitchenAid mixer, use the dough hook, speed 2 for 5 minutes. This can be done by hand too, my sister tried hand kneading the dough, according to her, it's very sticky at this stage, but it'll be pliable after a while)
揉至表面光滑。

5. Knead in (E) gradually and continue to knead until it passes the membrane stage. My mixer took about 10 minutes of kneading time).
分两次加入牛油，揉至面团能拉出薄膜（请看下图）。

At this stage, the dough is elastic and not sticky.

6. Cover and let it proof for 1.5-2 hours. Remove from the bowl and place the dough on a lightly greased worktop. Deflate and shape as desired. Place the dough on a lightly greased baking tin. Let it proof doubled in size, about 1 hour. There are no in-progress photos of how I shaped the dough because I was charging my phone :)
盖上保鲜纸，发酵至双倍大。取出，排气，造型，放在已涂过油的烤盘上，进行最后发酵。

This is how it looks like after 1 hour.

7. Preheat oven 200'C. Egg wash and add on some toppings as desired.
预热烤箱200度。发酵完成后，涂蛋液。

Left: Topped with Demerara sugar and chopped almond
Right: Filled with Homemade Pork Floss and topped with some white sesame seeds.

8. Place the bread into the oven, 2nd rack from the bottom. Reduce temperature to 170'C and bake for 15-20 minutes. This method helps the bread to RISE to the MAX!
放进已预热的烤箱，把烤箱的温度调至170度，烘烤15-20 分钟。

....to C Cup (BIG) lol...

9. Remove from oven. Brush some butter on top.
烘烤完毕后，把面包取出。

10. Remove the bread from the baking tin. Let it cool completely on the rack.
出炉后，刷些牛油。

11. It's ready and time to enjoy the delicious bread! :)
倒扣取出面包，放在架上。待凉后即可享用。若喜欢我的食谱，可以LIKE和追随我的面书专页，不要错过最新食谱发布。If you like my recipe, click here, LIKE & follow Miki's Food Archives Facebook page or follow us on Instagram: mfa_dingoozatfood to receive more recipe updates. Don't forget to favourite my pages if you wish to see my post on your news feed.
