Ingredients
30gbread flour
1/2tbspmatcha powder
1/4tspsalt
150mlmilk
25gcaster sugar
30gunsalted butter
120gtapioca flour (starch)
65gegg without shell - lightly beaten
1tbspblack sesame seed
Instructions
Sieve bread flour and matcha together, set aside.
Pour milk into a bowl, then add in bread flour and matcha powder, stir well. Add sugar and salt, stir well again and strain.
Melt butter at low heat. Then pour in milk mixture (step 2). At medium heat, stir mixture till almost boiled and starting to thicken to a soft dough. Off heat.
Pour in tapioca flour in 2 batches and blend well with a rubber spatula to smooth texture and leave to cool down for a few minutes.
Add beaten egg a little at the time, Mix till egg liquid all absorbed in the dough mixture before adding the next. When you see the soft dough form a 'V' drop when lifting up the spatula, then it is done. (the total amount of egg will depend how much the flour been absorb. I used about 60g egg liquid **the mini bread will not puff up if too much egg is added). Lastly add black sesame seeds and mix well.
Pour the soft dough into piping bag and pipe out like a dome shape (about 4cm) on baking tray lined with parchment paper ( make18 pieces). Dip your finger with water and flatten the tip to make a smooth top.
Bake in preheated oven at 190 degrees C for about 20-25 minutes till crisp.
Notes
can use chocolate chips, cocoa powder or even cheese powder, all to your personal preference.
Please keep in mind that all oven temperatures and baking time varies
