Ingredients
  

Tang Zhong

  • 240 g milk vagy víz
  • 40 g flour

Pasta

  • Tang Zhong (kihűlt)
  • 600 g flour
  • 200 g sourdough Active
  • 120 g milk
  • 1 db Egg
  • 1 db egg yolk
  • 1 package vanilla sugar
  • 40 g zsír
  • 30 g vaj
  • 7 g salt

Filler

  • 100 g vaj Melted in
  • 100 g Cocoa Netherlands
  • 150 g sugar brown
  • 110 g chocolate

Instructions
 

  • First we prepare the Tang Zhong. For those who don't know what it is, there is a separate page where I explain everything. Mix the 40g flour and 240g milk needed for Tang Zhong. Heat to 65°C, stirring continuously until you get a thick consistency. Then let it cool down. Then add it to the noodles.
  • Mix the milk, eggs, leaven, add the Tang Zhong and sift in the flour. Start kneading the dough and add the fat and butter while kneading. Add salt at the very end of kneading.
  • Punch down the dough completely, then put it in a greased baking tray to rest for 1 hour.
  • Start folding the dough in any way you like and let it rest for 1 hour.
  • Make the second fold and leave to rest for 1 hour.
  • After the third and final folding, leave the dough to rise for another 2 hours.
  • Shape: roll out the dough into a rectangle and brush with butter, sprinkle with cocoa powder, sugar and chocolate. Roll up into a bar and slice into 3-4 cm pieces and place the snails on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Lately, I've been putting them close together so that they come together during baking so that the edges are nice and soft and don't dry out. Leave to rise for about 2-3 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C on the bottom-up baking programme.
  • Brush the snails with 1 beaten egg and a sip of milk.
  • Put the snails in the oven to bake and steam. Turn the oven down from 200 to 180 degrees and bake for about 30 minutes.
