Pork Floss Bread Roll

Anything with pork floss is definitely good. What more with spring onions, ham and corn added to it.

Sweet and savoury in every bite is just my cup of tea =) . I can’t help but have a slice that was intended for

tomorrow’s breakfast.

Other

30x40cm tray
parchment paper
1 beaten egg for egg wash

Method (bread roll)

Preheat the oven at 180 degree celsius.
Excluding butter and salt, mix the ingredients for the bread in the mixer using spiral or j-hook at low speed for two minutes or until all the ingredients come together
Add in the cube of butter one by one and increase to medium speed; beat for about 2 minutes.
Add in the salt and continue to beat at medium speed until it reaches windowpane stage. Roll the dough into a ball, cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Turn the dough on a lightly floured area. Roll the dough into 30×40 cm size to fit into the tray. Cover and let it rise to double for about an hour. Do note that the time is for reference only. so if you live in cold country, you will need longer time to proof to double in height.
Prick the dough using a fork to allow steam to vent, refer to photo below
Brush the dough with egg wash
Add the spring onion on top. you may use a brush to gently spread the spring onion around the dough.
Add the corn and ham. Use your finger to gently press it down.
Bake for 13-15 minutes. Do not overbake or it will cause your bread to be crusty and crack when roll.
Let it cool down for about 10 minutes. Then gently invert the bread on the parchment paper. You might need two parchment paper if the paper size is small.
Make 3 slits at the longer side of the bread. This will help facilitate the rolling, refer to the photo below. Make sure to just make the slits without actually cutting through the bread.
Spread some Japanese mayo on the bread. sprinkle pork floss on top, then drizzle a little bit of mayo on top of the pork floss so it would stick better, as shown on the picture.
Roll the bread and wrap up with the parchment paper. Do not do it too tight as it will squash your bread. Set aside for 30 minutes.
Unwrap the paper then cut off the two ends by about 1.5cm. If you do not mind the ends you can leave it as it is.
Slice the bread into 8 equal portions. Spread both sides with Japanese mayo and pork floss.
