Walnut Charcoal Loaf

I just bought a fresh bag of walnut and we ran out of bread, so Walnut Charcoal Bread it will be for today.

Learning experience: 

Totally love this combination.  Even my highly sensitive taste bud mom gave a thumbs up for this.

Definitely a keeper.

What you need:

Sponge dough

100g bread flour

¼ tsp instant yeast

10g castor sugar

60g water

Main dough

150g bread flour

50g plain flour

1 tsp charcoal powder

4g instant yeast

20g castor sugar

½ tsp salt

30g egg

100g cold water

30g unsalted butter, softened

Method:

Mix sponge dough ingredients to form a rough dough.  Cover and let it sit for 1 hour.  Chill for 12 hours.

Combine sponge dough and main dough ingredients with egg.  Knead to a smooth dough.

Add in butter and continue to knead till it reached the window pane stage.

Shape into a ball and place in an oiled bowl.  Cover and let it proof for ½ hour.

Divide the dough into 60g each.  Shape into a ball and let it rest for 10 mins.

Flatten the dough with rolling pin and roll into a oblong. 

Spread fillings and roll.
