California Raisin Curry Bread
Yields20 Servings
QTY: 20 Breads
Ingredients A
 450 g Bread flour
 20 g Milk powder
 25 g Instant custard powder
 5 g Bread improver
 35 g Caster sugar
 10 g Curry powder
 5 g Instant yeast
Ingredients B
 150 g Cold water
 55 g UHT full-cream milk
 50 g Egg
 20 g Whipping cream
 5 g Vinegar
Ingredients C
 200 g California Raisins, rinsed with water and left to stand for 1 hour
 20 g Caster sugar
 1 g Salt
 180 g Unsalted butter (or salted butter, in which case omit the salt above)
 Oil or beaten egg yolk, for glazing
METHOD
1

Mix all Ingredients A together until well blended.

2

Mix all Ingredients B together, then add to Ingredients A mixture. With a stand mixer and
dough hook, knead on low speed until everything is incorporated and a dough forms.

3

Add Ingredients C and knead on high speed until dough reaches windowpane stage.

4

Scrape dough into a clean bowl, cover and let rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.

5

Divide dough into 20 portions, each about 50 g. Drain the California Raisins of any residual moisture, then fold about 10 g California Raisins into each dough portion.

6

Shape dough portions into tight rounds. Place on a tray lined with baking paper, spacing them at least 8 cm apart. Cover and let breads proof at room temperature until approximately doubled in size: depending on the warmth of the surrounding environments, this may take between 30 minutes and 6 hours.

7

Preheat oven to 200°C (top element) and 190°C (bottom element).

8

Brush breads with oil or beaten egg yolk.

9

Bake breads for 20 minutes, until golden brown.

10

Let cool completely, then cling wrap breads to prevent moisture loss: they will keep for
2 days.
