Cranberries Cream Cheese Pai Pao (Bread) 蔓越莓奶酪大排包


While i tried to figure out what to make so i can use finish the leftover 100g cream cheese from raspberry cheesecake. I saw Jessie-cooking moments strongly recommended this Pai Pao ( in Chinese which means bread arrange in a line). She said this bread stay soft after kept for 3 days..
I immediately try it out yesterday and i like this recipe which is straight dough method (don't need overnight sponge dough). I was enjoyed this bread this morning, and so happy to find out this bread still tasted very soft, fluffy and nice aroma..This will be a bread recipe that i will make again and again..

At first, Jessie was adapted this recipe from Cass 揾到食who adapted from a Chinese blog. But Cass replaced cream cheese with yogurt , further Jessie changed sugar to honey..They both very pleased with the result of this bread recipe..Since i have cream cheese so i stick to the original recipe. Next time i must bake this bread again with yogurt to see any difference or not..
Thanks to Cass and Jessie introduced to us this good bread recipe..

The ingredients in this bread is something that i like, cranberry and cream cheese, similar like cranberry cream cheese buns i made earlier.
And this dough is very easy to handle...This is a straight dough method, using the usual normal bread ingredients but i was amazed the softness of this bread, that means additional of cream cheese, playing an important role in this bread.

1. Using a wooden spatula, beat cream cheese till creamy.
2. Place all ingredients except butter & cranberries into the same mixing bowl, mix well with wooden spatula till all come together. Start to knead till dough becomes smooth.

4. Add in cranberries and gently incorporate into dough.
5. Place dough in a clean bowl and cover with cling wrap, let it proof till double size.

8. With the closing facing down, place it on the non-stick baking pan ( 9”x9” or 23cmx23cm). Repeat the rest till finished. Continue to rest till double in sizes.
9. Apply egg wash, bake at pre-heated oven at 180C for 20mins.
10. Cool bread on a wire rack. Store in air-tight container to maintain softness.

Mel said...

Oh, indeed the look of the texture is really very soft. This is the bread I am always looking forward to eat. I used to buy it from the bakery shop but now I think I have to make it my own now. Look real yummy. You all are so good, adapting the ingredients here and there and still manage to make excellent outcome.

Sonia,
Your 大排包look so good. I like you baked yours into darker colour..nice! I like straight dough method too. It's save time and doesn't need to plan ahead..hehe
I found bread that is added cream or dairy products (yoghurt , cream cheese or whipping cream)does give a very soft and fluffy texture even after 2-3days.
mui..^^

The bread looks so nice and shiny! I also want to try this. My only experience making bun is the roti paung. That also only success after 20 times trying. Hee..hee...hope this one can jadi the first time :)

Sem said...

I must try this, it look so soft. So far the only time i can make such a soft bun is using the apple yeast that i made.Do you knead the dough till it become like a mask or window pane stage?

鲸鱼蓝蓝蓝 said...

我还没尝试过作排包呢
等假期来了
我要做:)

Sonia ~ Nasi Lemak Lover said...

Sem, not really till mask, i just knead until smooth and strecthable. I think if i continue knead till window pane stage, oh, the texture will be even softer..

Cass @ 揾到食 said...

Thanks for your mentioned :)
I've tried the cream cheese version, really soft. Btw, how u pronounce that china blog's name huh?

Simply June said...

Your bread looks amazing and so soft! I just made some this afternoon, and it was delicious. Although it's not as pretty as yours, and was a little dense. I ran out of patience to let it proof the second round (they were poofy but were not double in size yet) as I was cutting into making dinner time. I'll try to make this again; seems very easy....this time, I'll start to make them earlier in the day! =)

Nami | Just One Cookbook said...

Seriously your bread looks so good that I will mistake it from one from a famous bakery. I love cranberries in bread!!

My Little Space said...

Now, you definitely making my hands aching for some homemade bread. Love the texture so much.

The Sweet Maison said...

Thank you for sharing this superb recipe :) I made it with yogurt instead of cream cheese and the result came out amazing!

lena said...

wonderful results!hope to try this out some day too:)

Crystal said...

Hi Sonia,

I tried your recipe, it is really nice! I replaced apricot instead. I tried your cream cheese bun as well, it works malvalous! My only concern is that the buns turn a bit dry in the next day, probably due to the cold n dehumidity here, I m in NZ. Could u pls give me some suggestions? I also recommended your blogs to my in law when she saw the buns. Thanks a lot for sharing. Cheers

Do I need to put the yeast in the water? I tried the recipe but my bread did not proof so I had to put it in the warm oven. My bread turned out quite hard and not soft like yours. Taste is ok. May I know where did I go wrong?

Sonia ~ Nasi Lemak Lover said...

Crystal, try to store the buns in a air-tight container or with a plastic bag but fully tie it.

anonymous, no, don't need, maybe the yeast you use is inactive , try to buy some new yeast to try out, and remember to do bread when weather is warm and hot, best for proof bread.

Anonymous said...

Hi Sonia,

This bread looks good. I was just wondering whether can do till second proofing and refrigerate overnight then bake in the morning?

Unknown said...

Hi Sonia Can I use bread maker to do d kneading n proofing ?

Unknown said...

Hi Sonia, thanks for sharing the recipe.
May I know if milk is in powder form or the liquid form in 120g?
Thank you.
From Eka

Sonia ~ Nasi Lemak Lover said...

Rebecca, milk is liquid form

Unknown said...

Today I tried at last as already bookmarked long ago! Tastes good n 好香哦!!!
Hopefully tomorrow will still as soft, as not sure why that mostly my breads turn damp and heavy the next day. Still wondering where is the error. As I kept them in sealed plastic bag and lost the softness the next day, any idea too? Thanks
