Caterpillar Bread

basic sweet bun dough:

3 cups bread flour

1.5 cups all purpose flour

1 pack rapid rise yeast

8 tablespoons granulated sugar

4 tablespoons dry milk powder

300ml warm water (about 105F)

1 egg

1 tablespoon salt

5 tablespoons of unsalted butter, at room temperature

 

plus ( sausages + mayonnaise + ketchup + cheese)

 

 

 

Divide the basic sweet dough into 70g pieces and mould them into balls. Let them rest for 10 minutes, then roll them flat with a rolling pin.

Put the sausage on the center of the dough and fold the dough into halves. Lightly pinch to seal. Cut each folded dough into 8 small portions, leaving 1/3 from the sealed edges uncut. (The dough should resemble a comb at this point.)

Twist first cut portion to the left, and second to the right, repeat this for the rest of the portions. Place the shaped dough onto a greased baking sheet and press each lightly. Let the dough prove for 45 minutes.

Brush with egg wash, and drizzle ketchup, followed by mayonnaise on top.

Bake at 375F for 15-20 minutes or until the breads look golden brown. You can pipe some mayonnaise and ketchup on top if desired (for presentation) sprinkle some mozzarella cheese on the top ..
