elusivekI actually bought this cat head bread tin thing last year already, but only recently did I actually decided to move my arse and do something about it. My first trial was over the holidays (day 2 of CNY I think) and today was my second trial.
I used this recipe but had to make some adjustment after the first failure. It was a little too much dough and when it came out it was all spilling and stuff. Also, I opened the tin right after taking it out of the oven and once I unlatched the side it basically exploded lol. There were parts of the bread that didn't look cooked, but the texture (cooked parts) and the taste of the bread was very good.
Today I got a little helper (terror really). I knew better what to do this time around so was able to knead the bread myself.
I took one quarter of the dough out and rolled up to 2 small bread rolls, so there was actually less dough in the tin. And this time, it was a success! My cat head came out beautifully!
This was a fun process. Next time maybe I'll add some cocoa powder to some of the dough and make a patterned cat.
This recipe is basically a milk loaf (I think it's what it's commonly called in English? We just call it white bread in Chinese). Will I fall into the rabbit hole of le Sourdough? Dunno, maybe not. I don't think I have the patience to cultivate the sour of it.
