  Dissolve the milk, mix the dry flour

  First is the step to dissolve the milk with yeast, you pour 70ml of warm milk at 40 degrees Celsius (Lukewarm milk) into a glass cup, then add 1.5gr of yeast to dissolve in the warm milk. You stir the milk and yeast mixture for about 10 seconds, then let this mixture sit for 5 minutes for the yeast to dissolve gradually.

  Next is the step to mix the dry flour, you add 150gr of bread flour into a porcelain bowl. Add 10gr of sugar, 1.5gr of sea salt into the bowl, using a flat whisk to stir and mix the mixture well.

  Then, you pour the milk and yeast mixture into the newly mixed dry flour mixture.

  Kneading and proofing the cake dough

  Use one hand to hold the bowl firmly, while the other hand presses and kneads the dough, shaping it into a ball.

  Place the dough on a clean, sanitized wooden table. First, fold the dough, then use the palm of your hand to press, knead, and push the dough away (Folding and Stretching).

  Tip: Be careful to push and knead the dough away rather than pressing down, which can cause the dough to stick to the wooden table.

  Rotate the dough block 90 degrees, repeating this 3 to 4 times. Knead the dough until it is smooth, soft to the touch, elastic, no longer sticky, and can be stretched into a thin sheet; then the dough is ready.

  Next, use your hands to flatten the kneaded dough to the size of two hands. Add unsalted butter and mix it evenly with the dough mixture by pressing and kneading the dough flexibly with your hands.

  Hold part of the dough with your left hand while continuously kneading the dough with your right hand. Keep alternating until the unsalted butter is evenly incorporated into the dough mixture.

  Use both hands to roll and shape the dough into a smooth ball.

  Place the dough ball into a bowl, using plastic wrap to cover the bowl tightly to prevent air from getting in. Remember to let the dough rise at room temperature until it expands and doubles in size from its original size.

  The usual waiting time for the yeast to rise is 60 minutes. Then, remove the plastic wrap and press down to flatten the risen dough.

  Note:

  • Choose a bowl of a certain size so that there is enough space for the dough to rise.
  • You should grease the inside of the bowl with oil or butter to prevent the dough from drying out.

  Cutting the dough, rolling it into balls

  Place a little dry flour on the wooden table and then put the dough that has just risen on top of that flour to prevent it from sticking to the table. Shape the dough into a flat round disc with a diameter of one hand span and a thickness of 1/3 of a finger.

  Then use a dough cutter to divide the dough into 12 equal triangular pieces, take each piece and roll it into a ball.

  Next, spread the 12 rolled dough balls evenly on the wooden table and cover them with plastic wrap for 15 minutes.

  Wrap the filling, shape the cake

  Next, take the dough ball wrapped in plastic wrap out and use a rolling pin to roll it thin.

  Add a bit of strawberry jam and a little bit of the whipped cheese and egg mixture onto the flattened dough pieces. Then gently wrap the dough around the filling and roll it into a ball.

  Tip: To make the bread more fragrant with milk, you can coat each piece of dough with a layer of fresh milk.

  Additionally, the bread looks more appealing if decorated with a few pearl sugar balls on the surface.

  Place the bread into a mini daisy-shaped mold, adjusting to fit the mold evenly. Arrange 12 pieces of bread with equal spacing on a metal tray.
