Sweet Honeycomb Bread

Ingredients

• Plain flour 3 1/2 cups
• Warm milk 1/4 cup
• Yeast 2 teaspoons
• Sugar 1/4 cup
• 1 tsp. salt 1 teaspoon
• Butter, softened 6 tablespoons
• Egg 1 at room temperature
• Yogurt 2 tablespoons
• Warm water 2/3 cups
• Kiri cheese squares, each cut into 4 pieces
• Milk for the wash
• Sesame seeds
• Condensed Milk as needed

Preparation

1. Add yeast to 1/4 cup warm milk. Add 1 teaspoon sugar from the 1/4 cup of sugar.
2. Mix until combined and allow the yeast to bloom for 5-10 minutes or until frothy.
3. In a large mixing bowl, add plain flour, sugar, salt, butter and egg.
4. Keep warm water ready, add the yeast liquid into the bowl and start mixing.
5. Add the water in slowly and stop when the dough is smooth but not too sticky to work with. I used 2/3 cup of water.
6. Knead for about 15 minutes until smooth.
7. Let the dough rise for about 1 hour in a warm place.
8. Grease a 14 inch round baking pan. Separate the dough into 32 equal sized pieces.
9. Cut the kiri cheese cubes into 32 pieces also. I used 8 cubes which I cut each into 4 smaller pieces.
10. Take a piece of dough, flatten it using your fingers and place a piece of cheese. Now roll into a ball and place it into the prepared pan. Continue with the rest of the dough until you have finished.
11. leave about 1/2 inch gap between the dough balls to allow room for them to rise. Cover with a cloth and allow to rise again until double in size [1-1.5 hours].
12. Now apply milk on the dough balls and sprinkle sesame seeds to top.
13. Place in preheated 180*C oven for 20-25 minutes using lower heat only. When the dough balls are ready (toothpick inserted comes out clean), turn the lower heat off and heat the top of the dough balls until nice and golden in color.
14. Take out of the oven and immediately pour condensed milk on top.
15. Serve warm. Enjoy!
