Leopard Bread

And another really interesting recipe, translated from German (with the help of daughter and short and very clear video on how to make).


Ingredients:
  • 250 ml milk + 2 tbsp
  • 1 vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 25 g corn starch
  • 50 g butter
  • 375 g flour
  • 70 g sugar
  • 20 g cacao
  • 3.5 g dry yeast


The method of preparation is very different from what I've experienced so far and the resulting dough is very easy to work with. I added about 5 g of cacao to the light brown dough, but my cacao was very strong and there is almost no difference between the lighter and the darker brown dough. Next time I would add cacao only at the tip of the spoon.


Also, this bread is supposed to be sweet, but the quantity of sugar is not enough and it tastes more like neutral rather than sweet. I would at least double the sugar next time and also cover it with granulated sugar before baking.





Because the rolls are arranged irregularly, when cut the bread produces different patterns and each person can be served a different looking leopard slice.
