Mochi bread

 

I was super interested in trying out the texture of glutinous rice flour (mochi) bread.  It is actually really soft and has a sweet aftertaste.  I used black glutinous rice flour so that I would have a purple bun.  You can definitely substitute for plain white glutinous rice flour if you desire.


INGREDIENTS

1C black glutinous rice flour

1C hot/boiled water

1C cold/tap water

2 1/2C bread flour

1/4C caster sugar

2t (10mg) yeast


METHOD

Add glutinous rice flour to mixer bowl

Add hot water

Hand whisk to combine

Add cold water and whisk through to minimise lumps

Add bread flour, sugar and yeast

Attach dough hook and knead for 15 mins in mixer (start slow then up to medium speed)

Turn out dough for proofing into an oiled pyrex bowl

Bench rest covered 15 mins (indoor temp here is 25C at the moment)

Knock back then bench rest another 15 mins


Knock back/flour and shape as desired (I made 2 x pullaparts)

Bench rest after shaping for 15 mins

Preheat oven to 180C (fan forced)

Bake for 23-25 mins
