‼️Rock-Baked Cheese Durian Soft Bread‼️ One-Time Fermentation

Combine all the dough ingredients in the mixer except for the butter. Different brands of flour can absorb water differently, so reserve 10-20 grams of milk at the beginning. If the dough is still too stiff after adding all the milk, adjust the water accordingly.

Once the dough has formed a rough membrane, add the butter and continue kneading until you achieve the windowpane stage.

The dough should stretch into a strong, translucent membrane.

No fermentation is needed; divide the dough into 6 pieces, cover with plastic wrap, and rest for 10-15 minutes.

While the dough is resting, prepare the cheese durian filling. Heat the durian in the microwave until softened for a more intense flavor.

Weigh the French Kendyia cream cheese. This cream cheese is particularly convenient as it doesn’t need to be softened beforehand; it can be used straight from the fridge. It's rich, creamy, and incredibly smooth.

Add the cream cheese, heated durian pulp, and 15 grams of sugar into the mixer and blend until smooth.

This is the finished filling—it's incredibly fragrant!

Take one rested dough piece, roll it out, and place a generous spoonful of the cheese durian filling on top.

Wrap it up like a bun, seam-side down in a paper cup, or place directly on the baking tray without the cup.

Once all are wrapped, place them in the oven with a bowl of hot water underneath and activate the fermentation mode until they rise to 1.5 times their size—about 45 minutes for me.

Remove the fermented dough, dust the surface with flour, and use scissors to cut a cross on top. Be careful not to cut too deep, or it may burst during baking. Preheat the oven to 170°C.

Place the dough in the preheated oven and bake at 170°C for about 15 minutes. Every oven varies, so keep an eye on them until they are golden brown on top.

They're out of the oven, and the aroma fills the air! 😄

Look at that tempting filling, it's absolutely delicious! Want to have one? 🤣

And here's the final product!
