Steps to make Chinese Sausage Bread

Except for butter, put all the ingredients into the bread machine bucket and knead the dough with the lid open throughout the process.

Select the dough program on the bread machine, open the lid, and set the time to 15 minutes.

After the time is up, add softened butter.

Select the dough program on the bread machine, set the time to 15 minutes, and knead the dough again until smooth. Repeat this step 2 more times (in addition to the time before adding butter) for a total of 4 times of kneading.

After the program is finished, take out the dough and check its condition. It should be able to stretch into a thin and elastic glove film (the number of times of kneading can be adjusted according to the condition of the glove film).

Knead the dough again until smooth.

Without fermentation, divide the dough into 6 equal parts, roll them into balls, and cover them with plastic wrap at room temperature for 20 minutes.

After the dough has rested, take out one piece and roll it into a long tongue shape.

Flip it over and shape it, then roll it up from top to bottom.

After the dough has rested, take out the dough and roll it into a long tongue shape, as long as possible.

Flip it over and shape it, then roll it up from top to bottom.

Roll the dough into a ball.

Roll the dough into a long strip, and spiral it around a Chinese sausage.

Repeat the process for the remaining dough, place them on a baking sheet, put them in an unheated oven, and put a bowl of boiling water (100 degrees) to help fermentation (maintain a temperature of 35 degrees and humidity of 85%). The fermentation time is about 60 minutes.

Brush the fermented dough with egg liquid and sprinkle with white sesame seeds.

Preheat the oven, put the baking sheet in the oven, set the temperature to 170 degrees, and bake for 25 minutes.

It’s done!
