Bear-Shaped Pork Floss Bread

Cute Bear Shaped Bread filled with pork floss! I have adapted the recipe from mosogourmet, a japanese youtuber who is super talented! I have changed the filling by using pork floss since I have no eggs to make any custard. However, the bread is lovely, but needed to be consumed on that day for better texture. It turned hard and dry the next day I eat it.

Bear-Shaped Pork Floss Bread
Ingredients:
200g bread flour
5g salt
5g yeast
15g sugar
120g water (you can use milk)
15g heavy cream
15g butter, softened

Steps:
1. Mix all the ingredients together except butter till combine, then add in butter and mix till smooth and shiny. Put into a greased bowl to let it proof for 1 hour.

2. The 1st proofing will double in size.

3. Put onto a floured surface table, and roll out using a rolling pin. Cut into 8 round shape weighing around 35-40g each. The remaining dough is used to make the ears. Wrap pork floss with the bread, and assemble the ears onto the bread using some water as "glue". Let proof for another 30-45 minutes till double in size.

 4. Preheat oven to 320F. Bake the end product in the oven for 10 minutes. Then lower the oven temperature to 300F, and bake for another 8-10 minutes. Let it cool completely.
5. Mix water and cocoa powder to draw the face part of the bears. Enjoy!
