Meronpan
16 April 2006
I've been making batches of Meronpan (Melon Bread) recently. I haven't managed to get a good photo of any at the moment but I plan on making some more tonight if I'm not too tired. Here's the recipe I've been using:
Bread
200 grams Bread Flour
2 teaspoons Yeast
20 grams Butter
2 tablespoons Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Salt
120 millilitres Water
1 medium egg, beaten
Topping
120 grams All Purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
40 grams Butter
50 grams Sugar
1 medium egg, beaten
1.) Mix dry ingredients of the bread together. Add the butter and the egg, followed by yeast and the water. Mix to form dough and knead for 10-15 minutes.
2.) Allow to rise in warm place for 30-40 mins.
3.) Mix butter and sugar together in a bowl until it becomes a creamy texture. Add the egg, followed by the flour and baking powder. Mix together until it's a slightly sticky consistency.
4.) Divide into 9 equal pieces and place on greased tray. Leave to cool in fridge for 15 minutes.
5.) Once the bread dough has risen, punch down and knead for a few minutes. Then divide into 9 equal pieces and allow to rest for 15 mins.
6.) Remove cookie dough from fridge and roll each one into a disc about 3 inches in diameter.
7.) Apply a little water or egg to the bread dough and wrap the cookie dough onto the top of it.
8.) Make a lattice pattern with a knife and sprinkle sugar on top.
9.) Bake for 20-25 minutes in an oven pre-heated to 180C (Gas Mark 4).
I'll try to post some pictures of my attempts later.
