Layered Pumpkin Bread With Spicy Chicken Floss


I have used this filling for buns last year.  The buns [recipe here]  were good.   With no exception this year, we received a packet of  'serunding'  [spicy chicken floss] a Malay Hari Raya speciality from a Malay friend.  This time I used it as filling for my Layered Pumpkin Bread.   I  think it's alright to use other types of fillings too for this layered bread.
 
For the bread dough, I used the same recipe for my  Pumpkin Buns [recipe here] that uses plain flour.
Ingredients - Pumpkin Bread Dough [Straight Dough Method]
[baked in 7" square baking tin]
300 gm plain flour
1/2 tbsp skimmed milk powder
1/2 tsp salt
25 gm sugar [1 used 1 heaped tbsp]
1 small egg
100 gm pumpkin puree
50 ml water [depends on size of egg and whether puree is wet]
2 tsp yeast
1 tbsp butter
  1. Knead all dough ingredients [except butter and water] on slow speed to combine.  Gradually add in water [may not need all otherwise the dough may be too wet and difficult to handle] and continue kneading until dough is soft and smooth [about 5-10 minutes].
  2. Add in butter and continue kneading on low speed from the start then turn to medium speed when butter and dough has combined.  Knead for about 5-10 minutes to get to window pane stage.
  3. Form dough into a ball.  Place in a bowl covered to rest for1 hour.
  4. Punch down rested dough.  Divide into 3 equal portions.  Round up into a ball. 
  5. Roll a portion into a 7" square piece to fit into the baking tin.  Place flattened dough on the baking tin lined with parchment paper.  Spread evenly a layer of chicken floss.  Repeat the same process for the other 2 pieces of dough.
  6. Proof until double in size [about 1 hour].   Glaze with beaten egg [I used milk] and sprinkle sesame seeds.
  7. Bake in preheated oven at 200 degrees C for 15 minutes.  Remove and cool on wire rack.   Sliced bread into any shapes[diamond, square or rectangle] you like before serving.

    Hi Quay Po, it's a lovely bread, soft texture and blends well with the spicy meat floss. Leftovers can be steamed for 5-10 minutes, it's chewy like baos.

    Hi Caroline, I was supposed to make buns with the floss filling but due to time constraint, I did this layered bread which happens to be hit in the family.
