Peanut butter is not a common ingredient or spread in Italy. Hence, I am very pleased that my husband likes this bread (well, he "has to" consume what I invent in the kitchen! 😝. Imagine the surprise on my Italian husband's face when he first bit into my freshly baked Peanut Butter Bread Roll. It's quite a departure from the usual Italian breakfast fare, yet he absolutely loves it.
The highlight of this bread is certainly the texture. It's so soft and light, you could almost compare it to air. The roll has this incredible ability to be torn apart into thin, delicate layers. There's a slight crisp to the crust, but the inside is pure bliss, mimicking the tenderness of freshly baked bread.
The peanut butter offers a hint of flavor that isn't too overpowering. It's a gentle sweetness that pairs perfectly with the savory bread. For anyone skeptical about the combination, it just might become your new favorite once you've tasted the blend of these two flavors.
Nguyên liệu
500 grams of flour
200 grams of fresh milk
100-130 grams of filtered water (do not replace water with 100% milk, as it will make the dough sticky and less delicious)
70 - 100 grams of sugar
50 gr of melted butter
Some vanilla if you prefer
7 grams of dry yeast or 12-15 grams of fresh yeast
For the roll:
250 gr of peanut butter
Cách làm
Mix flour, fresh milk, sugar, butter, and yeast together. Then gradually add water.
Knead until the dough comes together and no longer sticks to the bowl. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour. If it's too dry, add more water.
Cover the dough and let it rest for about 2 hours or until it doubles in size (about 2.5 - 3 times the original size).
Flatten the dough
Roll the dough around 1.5cm thin.
Spread the peanut butter on
Roll the dough and close the edges.
Cut the roll into small disks, about 4cm height.
Lay those disks in a cake mold or a baking tray
Let them rest for 30 mins or when they rise about 70%.
Bake in the oven 200 degree Celsius until they are goldern brown.
