One-Rise Caterpillar Cheese Sausage Bread

Finished product

Mix all ingredients except the butter until evenly combined, knead for 3 minutes

Add the butter and knead for 5 minutes

Gluten develops easily and a membrane can be stretched

Divide evenly into 6 pieces and rest for 15 minutes

Slice the sausage and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper

Shape the dough

Finish shaping, seal the ends so the cheese won’t melt and leak out

Arrange on the tray and proof at 38C with 70% humidity; I put a bowl of hot water inside

Once proofed, brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Please don’t be rough—treat them gently, or they’ll ‘get angry’ 😤 and won’t rise properly

Preheat the oven to 180C in advance and bake for 20 minutes. Cover with foil once they are browned. For eating the next day, no need to preheat the oven; just spray with water and bake for 5 minutes

Doesn’t it look good? Naturally fragrant with grain aroma
