Christmas Reindeer Bread
- 135 grams Bread flour
- 15 grams Cake flour
- 3 grams Dry yeast
- 80 ml Milk
- 1 grams Salt
- 18 grams Sugar
- 10 grams Butter
- 25 grams Egg
- 280 grams Or you could use pre-fermented bread dough
- 56 grams Each portion of bread dough
- 10 Chocolate chips for the eyes
- 5 Black soy beans or dried fruit for the noses
- 1 optional Topping or filling
- Mix all of the dough ingredients except for the butter, into a bowl.
- Add the butter and mix well, then gather the dough into one lump and knead well.
- Use the bread-rising setting of your oven for the first rising until the dough doubles in size.
- Take the dough out of the oven and roll five 20 g balls of dough (for the antlers).
- Divide and roll the remaining dough into five balls for the heads (each piece should be 36 g).
- Let rest for 10 minutes.
- Take the dough balls for the antlers and flatten into 8 cm long ovals.
- Use a knife to cut a line down the middle of the oval.
- Cut 3 notches on the left and right sides of the oval.
- Spread the two halves of the antler dough to form the antlers.
- Take the dough for the face and roll into an oval ball, then place it on the pair of antlers.
- Flatten the part of the antlers where the head will rest.
- For the molds, use individual pieces of parchment paper or flattened aluminum cupcake cups.
- This will make it easier to remove the breads from the baking sheet.
- Arrange the bread on a baking sheet and let rise a second time with the oven's bread rising function (about 30-40 minutes).
- As soon as they rise, preheat the oven.
- Use chopsticks to poke holes where you want to put the eyes and nose, and firmly press chocolate chips and black soy beans into the holes.
- Bake the breads in a preheated oven at 170C for about 12 minutes.
- The antlers will have a slightly hard finish at the part under the head where the dough is thin.
- You could decorate with icing, powdered sugar, or chocolate.
- I tried making hats out of colored dough.
- It's more Christmasy.
- Make it with the Santa Claus breadto make a Christmas display.
