Braided bread(Pan de trenza)

Normal bread becomes cuter if we make it into a braid.
So today I have baked Braided bread (Pan de trenza), and made some sandwiches for lunch.
I used Soy milk instead of normal milk so that the bread became more doughy.
If it is sunny and warm, it is nice to go to a park for a picnic with sandwiches.
Thinking of Japan with beautiful streets with cherry blossoms...

＜Recipe＞

Strong flour　200g
Wheat flour  　50g
Sugar      　　   12g
Dry yeast     　   5g
Soy milk 　　 160g
Salt 　　　　　　　5g
Butter　　　　　 15g

1.　Mix flour, sugar, yeast, soy milk(40℃) and salt.
2.　Once mixed, add butter(room temperature) and mix them.
3.　Knead it on the table.
4.　Leave it to be fermented(around 1hour until the volume is doubled)
5.　Remove the gas, form into a ball once again and leave it for 15minutes.
6.   Divide the dough into 8 pieces, press each piece with a hand to flatten into a triangle shape.
7.   At 1 cm below the corner of triangle(you have to keep this 1 cm triangle), start to make 2 lengthwise cut in to have 3 strings of dough which are still together on the top, and make them into a braid(fold the end into the backside).
9.　Sift flour on the top and leave them to be fermented. (Until doubled, around 1 hour)
10.　Once fermented, bake them in the oven(180℃ for 15minutes)

This time, I made Smoke salmon + Mayonnaise and Ham + Mayonnaise sandwiches.

I baked ham mayo sandwiches in the toaster for 5minutes.
Once baked mayonese tastes nicer♪

Bon profit!!!
