Ingredients

Bread Dough

How to Make Savory Salad Bread

1. In a large bowl, combine the high-protein flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, instant yeast, and milk powder. Mix well, then add the salt.
2. Add the eggs and water. Mix until the dough starts to come together, then knead until smooth.
3. Add the margarine and continue kneading until the dough becomes elastic, soft, and no longer sticky.
4. Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Divide the dough into 20 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and let rest for another 15 minutes.
6. Roll each dough piece into a long rope shape, then twist or coil into a ring shape. Let the shaped dough rest for 30 minutes.
7. Prepare the topping by mixing mayonnaise with carrots, green beans, sweet corn, and smoked meat.
8. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).
9. Brush the dough with egg yolk, spoon the topping mixture onto each bread, and sprinkle generously with grated cheddar cheese.
10. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and fully cooked.

Tips for the Best Savory Bread

• Use warm water to help activate the yeast faster.
• Do not overfill the bread to prevent the topping from spilling during baking.
• You can substitute smoked meat with sausage, tuna, or shredded chicken.
• Serve warm for the best soft texture and cheesy flavor.
