15g condensed milk
30g unsalted butter

30g fine sugar
1/4 tsp salt

20g beaten egg ( whole egg beaten then weigh 20gm. The balance keep aside for egg wash)

180g bread  flour
20g top/cake flour

1/2 tsp instant dry yeast

For egg wash and deco
The balance from the whole egg Some beaten egg
About 2 tsp fine sugar

Direction
1. Pour fresh milk, condensed milk and unsalted butter in a heat resistant bowl and microwave for 5 min at 130 deg or until butter is melted.

2. Pour the warm ingredients from (1) into the bread pan.

3. Add in the sugar and salt.

4. Pour in the beaten egg.

5. Add in the bread and top/cake flour.

6. Dig a hole and pour in the instant dry yeast.

7. Place the bread pan into the bread maker. Select "dough" function and start the process.

8. The dough is ready.

9. Sprinkle some bread flour over both the work top and dough before inverting it out.

10. Flatten the dough to remove the trapped air. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions, each about 104g.
The dough maybe quite sticky, so wear a pair of disposable gloves to handle it.

11. Shape the doughs into 4 balls by pull down the sides and seal at the base. Cover with a lid and let the dough rest for 15 minutes.

 Take a dough and sprinkle with a good amount of bread flour.

Stretch the dough into a long narrow "rope" shape by rolling and stretching it from the middle to both ends. The length is about twice the size of the side of the bread pan.
Hold tight to both ends and turn in opposite directions. When you start to feel the tension, let the two ends meet. The dough will automatically join into a twisted shape.

12. Place the twisted doughs in a 20 cm square pan lined with parchment paper.
Spray some water over the dough and let the dough proof in a closed oven for about 45 minutes, or till the doughs double in size.
Switch on the oven minimum temperature for 1 minute to give the dough a warm environment to proof faster.

13. Brush the dough with egg wash and sprinkle fine sugar evenly over the surface.

14. Bake in a preheated oven set at 170 degree Celsius for 17 to 20 minutes at middle rack till golden.

15. Allow the bread to cool down slightly on a wire rack before enjoying .

Happy baking!!
