Viral cream cheese bread 火爆奶酪面包

I wanted to try out this Viral cream cheese bread 火爆奶酪面包 (shared by Victoria Bakes) that was very popular back in Feb 2016.  Yes yes, I am a late trend bloomer.

I have so many recipes that I wanted to attempt but just don't know how to accomplish them all.

Basically for this recipe, you can use any of your favourite bread recipe.  The "special" about this Viral cream cheese bread 火爆奶酪面包 is that it is filled with cream cheese frosting and then coat with milk powder.

Findings: This is my 3rd attempts on this recipe.  The previous two was a disaster.  Once was hard as it overproof and the second time, I had a big bubble in the bread.  I think it has to do with my yeast.

Finally I got a decent bread to keep as record.

Since my kiddos are not big fan of milk powder, I have coated both sides differently.  One side with milk powder and the other side with cocoa powder.   I should have thought of milo instead as both love that too.

I don't like milk powder but for this one, it tasted really nice.  A perfect way for this aging mommy to add some calcium to add to her aging bones.
