Yogurt Orange Peel Mini Toast

I rarely make flavored toast. Yesterday, I made a few mini toast loaves with raisins for my sister and sneaked a small piece for myself. It was so delicious! ~~ I still have a lot of dried fruits soaked from before, so this time I added a generous amount of orange peel pieces. The dough is incredibly fragrant. The refreshing aroma of orange peel combined with the rich scent of vanilla rum is truly captivating. These days, I really like this small mold. If you don't have one, feel free to skip the old dough part; this recipe makes exactly two 450g Shokupan loaves. The recipe is for four 250g toast molds.

Cooking Tips

1. Adjust the liquid amount based on the flour, ambient humidity, and your skill level. Use homemade or store-bought thick yogurt. If not thick, reduce the quantity accordingly. 2. Candied orange peel can be store-bought or homemade. Store-bought ones can be dry, so soak them in rum before using. 3. If you don't have a 250g mold, skip the old dough part; it makes exactly two 450g Shokupan loaves.
