Super soft bread, 欧蕾面包 !!

I saw HSling keep doing this bread which she followed to Canary's recipe, both of them highly recommended this bread because this bread is super soft. I tried, and I totally agreed with them, the bread texture is super super soft, my kids love this bread so much. The best thing is this bread is without any egg yolk added and also not adding any chemical substances e.g shortening to maintain the softness.
I do not know the English name of this bread, the Chinese name is 欧蕾面包..Can I call as "Oleh bread", sound ok?

Thanks to Hsling and Canary (she is currently stop updating her blog, I hope she will be back soon) for sharing this lovely bread.


Ingredients:-

A)
High protein flour 300g
Caster sugar 36g
salt 1/4tsp
milk powder 18g

B)
Cold water 180g (I use ice cubes + drinking water)
Egg white 24g

C)
Yeast 1tsp

D)
Butter 48g

Steps:-
1. Mix A, then add in B, combine well.
2. Add in C, continue knead.
3. Then add in D, knead till elastic. (The dough is quite sticky, don't tend to add more flour !!)
4. Rest for 60mins.
5. Slightly knead the dough again and rest for another 30mins.
6. Shape the dough and add in filling as per your preference.
7. Bake at pre-heat oven at 180c for 25mins.

**For this filling, I use Blueberries jam.


Do enjoy Baking !!!

  25. Hi, I want to try your recipe! Looks great. Do you dissolve the yeast before you mix with other ingredient?

    ReplyDelete

  27. Hi Sonia,

    Just wondering how you measure the sugar, milk powder and egg white?

    My weighing scale can only measure in 25g increments.

    Also, do you need to leave the dough to prove in a warm place?

    Thanks! :)

  28. Hi Sonia, i used my kenwood mixer to knead the dough. somehow after kneading for so long, the dough still look wet and sticking, then i stopped the mixer, did it by hand but still cant achieved the elastic dough. In the end, i threw the whole dough away. Is it due to the high protein flour tat is harding to knead? I really would like to try it again but can u give me some advice please. Tks

  29. Hi Philomena, i use hand to knead for the whole process here, not sure what was your problem since you use mixer, maybe next time you do it by hand and see how the result. You should get a not so sticky dough but you don't need to achieve very elastic dough, so long you feel the dough is not too sticky and smooth, then should be alright.Hope this help, do try again, because this bread is very very nice and soft..

  30. Hi Sonia, I tried it again on Sunday and YES it was indeed very very soft. Tks

  31. Hi Sonia, my batch of Oleh Bread was just out from the oven half an hour ago and now 2 heart shape bun were "gone"! Is near to 12 midnight now else I am sure more will be gone as the big sister is sound asleep, else she may able to finish up another 2 by herself!
    I am so glad that I found your blog and found this recipe.
    Btw, i would like to check with you whether the dough will be soft even after the second proofing? I don't have much experience in bread making thus not very sure if my dough was overed proof or just okay. My dough sticked to the rolling pin so I just used my hand to knead n press the dough before rolling up the rough to make the heart shape.

  32. I had knead the dough by hand but it turn out quite sticky ,is it I knead it not longer enough? Even when I want to make it to shape it will stick to my table.And is it we need to rest again after we make it to shape ? After come out from oven the bread is quite hard at the surface & bottom ?

  33. I have the same issue as Yvonne - the dough was too sticky for me to shape so it ended up looking rather messy and flat when I shaped them :( Do you have any advice on how to shape a sticky dough?

  34. Hi Sonia,
    My husband and I love the Korean sweet bread filled with red bean/white bean paste. I want to try your super soft bread recipe to make the white bean paste one at home. But when I try to research 24grams of egg whites I don't find any exact amount online. Is 24grams of egg white about 1 egg ?
    Thanks, I do enjoy readying your weblog.
