Cheese stick

My kids love cheese sticks and when they were young, it is the only choice when we visit the bakery.

So today I shall make some to entice them to eat my homemade Cheese Stick.

Learning experience:

I should have shape them longer that is the same length as the pan.  Now it is more like a bun than stick.

Nevertheless, this is a keeper.

What you need:

Yudane 

48g bread flour

48g boiling water

Mix to form a dough.  Cover and let it cool completely.

192g bread flour

60g plain flour

50g sugar

5g salt

10g milk powder

2 tsp instant yeast

1/2 egg

105g cold water

30g butter, unsalted

Grated cheddar cheese

Sugar

Method:

Combine bread flour, plain flour, sugar, milk powder and instant yeast.  Whisk well.

Add in egg, cold water, salt and yudane dough.  Knead until smooth.

Add in butter and knead until windowpane stage.  

Shape into a ball and cover.  Let it proof until double.

Punch down and divide the dough into 10 portions and shape into balls.  Bench rest for 10 mins.

Flatten the dough and roll into a long shape.

Transfer to baking sheet and cover.  Let it proof for 45 mins.

Brush with egg wash and top with cheddar and sugar.

Bake at 190℃ for 12 mins or until golden brown.

Enjoy!
