Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by making the bread dough. In a bowl, combine all ingredients for the dough except for the butter: bread flour, milk powder, sugar, salt, lukewarm water, egg, and yeast. Mix them together with your hands or a stand mixer until they form a cohesive mass. It’s helpful to initially mix with a spatula to prevent flour from scattering.
Step 2
Once the dough comes together, add the softened room temperature butter. Continue kneading the dough until the butter is fully incorporated and the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Properly developed gluten is key, achieved by kneading until you can stretch a piece of dough thinly enough to see light through it without tearing. This process ensures a chewy and tender crumb. (Knead for about 10-15 minutes)
Step 3
After kneading, shape the dough into a smooth ball. Place it in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel, and let it undergo its first rise (bulk fermentation) in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
Step 4
While the dough is rising, let’s prepare the delicious toppings! Finely mince the onion. In a separate bowl, combine the minced onion with mayonnaise and mix well to create the onion topping base.
Step 5
Doesn’t this mixture of onion and mayonnaise look appetizing? It’s already delicious!
Step 6
Now, let’s prepare the bacon. Finely chop the bacon strips. Chopping the bacon finely will ensure a better texture and distribution of flavor throughout the bread.
Step 7
Add the chopped bacon to the onion-mayonnaise mixture and stir everything together thoroughly. This simple step creates a wonderfully flavorful bacon and onion topping!
Step 8
Let’s check if the first rise is complete. Lightly flour your finger and gently poke the center of the dough. If the indentation remains and the dough doesn’t deflate, the first rise has been successful.
Step 9
Gently punch down the risen dough to release the gas. Divide the dough into equal portions of about 60g each. Shape each portion into a ball and let them rest, covered with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, for about 15 minutes. This resting period, known as bench time, makes the dough easier to shape.
Step 10
After the bench time, gently flatten each dough ball with a rolling pin to form an oval or rectangle. Place a sausage at one end of the flattened dough and carefully roll it up, ensuring the sausage is completely enclosed by the dough. Pinch the seams firmly to seal.
Step 11
Place the wrapped sausages on a baking sheet or tray. Using scissors, make 2-3 cuts across the top of the dough. These cuts will help the bread open up beautifully as it bakes.
Step 12
Now, generously spoon the prepared bacon and onion topping over the cut dough. The savory combination of onion and bacon will create a fantastic flavor profile with the bread.
Step 13
Top with plenty of shredded mozzarella cheese; it will melt into a delicious, gooey layer. Finish by drizzling ketchup in a zigzag pattern over the cheese. Your delicious bacon sausage bread is ready to be baked! Place it in a preheated oven.
Step 14
Oh, and I also shaped some dough into a flower before topping! The flower shape is great for holding toppings, though it can be a bit more effort to shape. But the result is a beautifully decorated bread!
Step 15
For the flower-shaped bread, similarly add the bacon and onion topping, followed by a generous amount of mozzarella cheese. Drizzle ketchup artistically over the cheese. Now, bake this visually appealing flower-shaped bacon sausage bread until golden brown and enjoy!
