Ham Corn and Cheese Bread

 We have a lot of ham left from Thanksgiving so I've been baking ham corn and cheese buns for the past three days. These are just so delicious we're not tired of eating them yet. Today I also baked some hot dog buns too since kids loves hot dogs. Used the same dough for both.






Dough:

830 g bread flour

130 g sugar

3/4 tsp salt

2 large eggs

410 ml whole milk

3 tsp instant yeast 

113 g unsalted butter room temperature 

1. Place all dry ingredients into mixer bowl first then add in the milk and yeast last. 

2. Knead in mixer for 18-20 minutes on speed 2 and 4 until smooth and window panel.

3. Cover, rest dough for 1 to 1.5 hr until double.

4. Divide dough into 77g for ham corn cheese buns (10 buns). Divide 95g for hot dog buns (8 bun)


Ham Corn Cheese: 10 buns

About 1 cup chopped ham

About 1 cup yellow corn

4 Tbsp mayonnaise 

1/4 cup scallions (optional)

Divide dough into 10, about 77g each. Each dough then divide into 3 strands to braid. Proof for 30-40 minutes or until almost double. Use a sharp scissor to cut the center. Egg wash dough before placing fillings (mix all above ingredients together). Top with mozzarella cheese.

Bake in preheated oven 355F for 17-22 minutes and then broil for 1-2 minutes to get cheese golden.

* Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tsp water). 

Hot Dog Buns: 8

8 hot dogs

Lightly pan fry hot dog with some oil for few minutes.  Remove to paper towel to wipe off oil and cool.

Divide dough into 8 about 95 grams each. Roll dough into an long strain and then wrap the hot dog. Proof for about 30 until double. 

Brush egg wash on dough and bake in preheated oven at 355F for 17-20 minutes until golden.

Soft and delicious! Next day just heat in microwave. Super delicious when hot 🔥
