Sweet Corn Bread with Plum Jam
Equipment
- Springform pan
- Pot
Ingredients
- 2 corn cobs
- 5 cups flour
- 2 tsp dry yeast
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 stick butter, softened
- 1 egg
- plum jam for filling
- whisked egg yolks for egg wash
- black sesame seeds for topping
- white sesame seeds for topping
Instructions
- Strip the kernels from the corn cobs and add them to a measuring cup. Pour in the milk and thoroughly blend until smooth.
- Add the flour to a bowl. Pour the creamed corn through a sieve into the bowl and add the butter, egg, dry yeast, sugar, and salt. Use the dough hooks on a hand mixer until a smooth dough forms, cover the bowl with a moist towel, and let rise for 1−1½ hours.
- Divide the dough into 8 pieces and form them into balls. Roll out each dough ball and spread plum jam over the inside. Fold them up and roll them back into rolls.
- Place the rolls upright in an 8-inch springform pan, cover the springform pan, and let the dough rise for about 30 minutes. Afterwards, brush the egg wash over the dough and sprinkle black and white sesame seeds on top.
- Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap, place the pan inside of a pot of water over medium heat, and steam for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, turn off the heat and let the pan rest in the pot for another 5 minutes.
