Watermelon Bread Loaf 西瓜土司

I have bookmarked this watermelon bread loaf long time ago. Finally i managed to make it happened !




Love how it turned out, the red part of bread look quite similar like real watermelon flesh ^_^

The process of making this watermelon bread loaf not as difficult as i thought, lets see the steps..

Next time i have to increase the amount of raisin. This was the amount i put in, but it turned out so little and only able to spot 1 or 2 raisin when i cut each slice.


Painting the watermelon stripes ^_^





Look like watermelon hor ? hehehe..
Next ,i am going to make yellow watermelon ^_^. This recipe is use red yeast rice powder to create red effect. If you don't have this, you can replace with red dragon fruit flesh (adjust the liquid amount accordingly) to create similar red effect.

Take a Chinese brush, paint with dark green paste to create watermelon stripes effect. Wait for few minutes, to let it dry. Then wrap white and red dough inside.
9.  Place the dough in the prepared loaf tin, set aside to rise till about 90%. Cover with the lid, continue to rise completely, take about 1hr.
