A Letter To Jack: Chocolate Hokaido Bread with choc chip & Raisin

Honey,
Today im making Chocolate Hokaido Bread with choc chip & Raisin, 改良recipe from the original A.K. from the fb page.

The ingredients are

200 g Chocolate HL milk
1 egg
40 g of cane sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
10 g of Anlene milk powder
5 g of Chocolate powder
270 g of high protein flour
30 g of cake flour
1.5 teaspoon of Mauripan yeast

*** replaced the whip cream, with HL milk, so it became 125g + 75g = 200g. I read somewhere someone did that & get the same bread's texture. Whip cream = EXPENSIVE honey!

*** replaced abit of the milk powder, became 10 g of milk powder and 5 g of Chocolate powder.

I asked the confectionery shop Aunty, what's the different with Cocoa powder & Chocolate powder?

She said:

cocoa power 带苦,

Chocolate powder 带甜, remember that!

So I prefer sweet, I took the choc powder.

Then I asked her again ( many questions haha ) whether I can change the milk powder in my recipe to choc powder? She said milk powder must have its own function in the recipe, and she doesn't know whether can or not. Well, what she said quite make sense to me also. So I decided to change abit only.

Anyway, my purpose of using choc powder is just to create the choc dark colour bread ^_^

10 g of Anlene milk powder + 5 g of Chocolate powder

*******Tips******

I read somewhere, they said they coat the choc chip with some flour first... what flour? I dunno, I used cake flour because I still have alot.......

and FREEZE them before using, so that it won't melt?? During the bread dough proofing period? Or during the baking period? I thought choc will surely melt when it's hot?

Hmmm, I'm not sure. Just trying.
