1teaspoon(3g/0,1oz) instant dry yeast

○oatmeal bread bears (makes 2 bears)

Some oatmeal

10g(0,4oz)  butter(melt)　

10g(0,4oz)  honey

 

Directions 

①Heat up the milk and stop right before it begins to boil. Then, leave it to cool.

 

②Get two bowls ready, and put bread flour and salt in one.
Put water(use lukewarm water during wintertime), the cooled milk, sugar, and dry yeast into the other bowl and mix together thoroughly. Add this mixture into the bowl containing the bread flour, and knead.

When the mixture becomes one cluster, take it out from the bowl, and knead the cluster until the surface of the dough becomes smooth.
When the surface becomes smooth, add butter and knead thoroughly once more. Then, roll the dough into a ball and put into a bowl.

 

③Put plastic wrap onto the bowl. Then, by keeping this bowl somewhere warm, do the primary fermenting until the dough blows up to twice its size.

④Take out the dough from the bowl while being careful not to damage it.

⑤First of all, divide the dough into 4 equal parts.At this time, the weight of each part should be of about 85g(about 3oz)

Next, divide each of the parts in the following way:

 

 

- 2 pieces of dough of 4 grams(0.1oz) each, for the hands
- 2 pieces of dough of 6 grams(0.2oz) each, for the legs
- 2 pieces of dough of 3 grams(0,1oz) each, for the ears
- a piece of 35 grams(1,2oz) for the head
- a piece of 24 grams(0,8oz) for the body

Roll each piece of dough into a ball.

Let the dough sit for 15 to 20 minutes after placing a fully wrung wet cloth on top.

 

 

⑥Lightly flatten the dough and punch it down. Re-roll all of them.

 

　

　

Place a baking sheet on a oven tray and place the pieces of dough for the head and the ears on it.

Shape the piece of dough for the body in a oval form, stretch and mold the pieces for the legs and arms into strips and attach them to the pieces of dough that you placed on the tray before (as seen in the picture.)

 

【How to make oatmeal bread bears (makes 2 bears)】

Melt 10 grams of butter in a water bath and mix it with 10 grams of honey. Use a brush to spread the mix on the dough and sprinkle it with oatmeal.

 

 

To prevent the dough from drying up, place plastic wrap and a fully wrung wet cloth on top.

Make sure the plastic wrap does not stick to the dough. 

 

⑦Do the secondary fermenting until the dough blows up to twice its size.

White bear bread

  Pre-heat at 190℃(370F) and bake for 15 to17 minutes at 160℃(320F)
If it looks like the bread is going to brown too fast, bake it with a sheet of aluminium foil on top.

Oatmeal bear bread

Pre-heat at 200℃(390F) and bake for 15 to 17 minutes at 170℃(340F)

　　Baking times and the temperature of the oven will differ according to the model, so　please make adjustments accordingly.

 

After the bread is baked, create eyes and noses using toasted nori seaweed.

 

This time, and thinking about people from countries where it is not usual to eat seaweed, I will show you how to make the eyes of the bear with raisins.

 

Wrap the raisins in plastic wrap and stretch them slightly from above.

 

 

Use a straw cut in a small size to cut out the eyes of the bears from the stretched raisins. They are extremely small so use a pair of tweezers to attach them to the bread.
