Steps for making Kashida Nut Toast (Bread Machine Version)

Soak the nuts in water for half an hour and set aside.

Put milk, flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and Kashida sauce in the bread machine in order. Note: Avoid direct contact between yeast and sugar or salt.

Start the “8 dough” program on the bread machine. After kneading for 20 minutes, turn off the bread machine (press and hold the “Start/Stop” button). Add butter, select the “4 sweet bread” program again, choose the weight of “700g”, and the browning level of “medium”, then press “Start” again.

After kneading (about 40 minutes), take out the dough and mixing paddle, and roll the dough into a rectangle.

Sprinkle the soaked nuts evenly on top of the dough.

Roll up the dough from one end into a long strip.

Divide the long strip into three equal parts.

Braid the dough and pinch the ends together.

Put the braided bread back into the bread machine and let it ferment for about 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Before baking, brush the surface of the bread with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
