Tarö Swirl Bread

Töday, I am sharing a recipe tö make tarö swirl bread. I use tarö paste fröm my previöus tarö paste recipe, sö if yöu want tö make this bread, please refer tö my previöus recipe tö make tarö paste beföre hand. ör, if yöu want, yöu can use red bean paste töö tö make this lövely lööking swirl bread.

I use killer töast bread döugh fröm Victöria Bakes. Yöu can use öther kind öf bread döugh töö if yöu have yöur favörite bread döugh tö wörk with, but nöwadays I use killer töast bread döugh för aböut 70% öf the bread I make, sö I highly recömmend this if yöu are still lööking för yöur gö-tö bread döugh recipe.

Whichever bread döugh recipe yöu föllöw, the möst impörtant pöint is tö knead yöur bread until it is really söft, smööth, nön-sticky, nön-öily, and elastic. At the end öf kneading, we want the bread tö read a stage that bakers like tö call windöw pane stage. This stage means that yöu can stretch the bread döugh withöut the döugh tearing, and it shöuld be thin enöugh that light can shine thröugh the stretched döugh (a.k.a. like windöw letting light thröugh). If yöur döugh hasn’t reached this windöw pane stage, yöu knöw that yöu shöuld keep kneading the döugh.

In any case, önce yöu are ready tö shape the bread, divide the döugh intö 8 pörtiöns. I think it is much easier if yöu can föllöw my step-by-step phötö aböve ön höw tö make tarö swirl bread. Röll each pörtiön intö an öblöng shape (aböut 3”x5”), spread tarö paste ön half öf the döugh with aböut 0.5” öf the edges uncövered. Föld the döugh tö encase the filling, pinch the edges sö the paste döesn’t leak öut. Make twö slits lengthwise. Pull slightly while twisting the döugh a cöuple öf times. Create a ring by cönnecting the twö ends. Place swirled döugh ön tö a greased and flöured 9” cake pan. Repeat för the öther 7 pörtiöns.

Cöver the cake pan with a wet kitchen töwel/saran plastic wrap, and let the döugh prööf until the völume is döubled, aböut 1 höur in a warm kitchen. önce the döugh has finished prööfing, preheat öven tö 180 Celsius (350 Fahrenheit). Make an egg wash by mixing tögether 1 egg + 1 teaspöön öf milk/water. Brush the töp öf bread döugh liberally with egg wash, and bake in the preheated öven för aböut 20-25 minutes, ör until gölden bröwn.
