Halloween Pull-Apart Bread ハロウィーンちぎりパン
Description
The recipe begins with preparing Yudane the night before by mixing bread flour and boiling water, then resting it overnight in the refrigerator. This technique improves the dough’s moisture and softness. The main bread dough combines milk, sugar, yeast, salt, butter, bread flour, and Yudane, then is kneaded for 20 minutes with a bread machine until smooth and elastic.
The dough is divided into three portions. Purple sweet potato powder and water make a paste incorporated into one portion, and kabocha pumpkin powder and water are added to another, creating vibrant purple, orange, and white doughs. Each dough is proofed until doubled, then shaped and assembled to form the pull-apart loaf. Baking results in a soft, colorful bread with a tender crumb that showcases the natural hues of the added vegetable powders.
This bread can be a fun thematic centerpiece for Halloween or autumn celebrations. If the specific powders aren't available, alternatives like matcha or cocoa powder can provide different colors and flavor twists. The recipe is inspired by Japanese baking methods and combines traditional techniques with seasonal ingredients.
Ingredients
Yudane
- 50 g bread flour aka baker's flour
- 40 ml water boiling, above 90 degrees Celsius
Bread
- 150 ml milk lukewarm
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 3 g instant yeast dry
- 200 g bread flour aka baker's flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 10 g butter unsalted
- 10 g purple sweet potato powder
- 20 ml water
- 10 g kabocha pumpkin powder
- 15 ml water
Melted white and milk chocolate for the decoration on top of the bread
Instructions
- Make Yudane the night before. Place the bread flour in a bowl and add boiling water and mix well. Put cling wrap and refrigerate overnight. *1
- Add all bread ingredients to the bread machine.
- Knead them for 20 minutes.
- While the bread is being kneaded, make the purple sweet potato and kabocha pumpkin paste.
- Place each powder into two separate small bowls and add water and stir. Set aside.
- When the surface of the dough becomes shiny, take the dough out of the machine and divide the dough into three (to make white, purple, and orange dough).
- Knead the purple sweet potato paste into one dough and the kabocha pumpkin paste into another.
- Spray some oil in three bowls and put each dough in the centre.
- Cover each bowl with cling wrap and leave them somewhere warm (or leave them in an oven for 1 hour at 30 c).
- Once the dough has been left for an hour (or doubled in size) take each out of the bowl and place onto a floured bench or chopping bread. Preheat the oven to 180 c.
- Punch each ball of dough down and divide them into 6 even-sized pieces. Shape each piece into a nice round shape and place it in a baking tin lined up next to each other.
- Cover the baking tin with cling wrap and leave it in warm place till the size of the dough doubles.
- Bake it for about 20 minutes. Occasionally check the bread to see if it has become browned (you need to cover with aluminium foil to prevent further browning or burning).
- Take the bread out of the oven once it has cooked, allow it to cool down a little, then have fun decorating it with a deco-pen filled with melted chocolate.
- Serve the bread on a plate for everyone to pull apart.
Notes
- If specific vegetable powders are unavailable, substitute with matcha or cocoa powder to create alternative colors.
- Yudane prepared the night before yields a softer, moister bread texture.
- The recipe is based on Japanese baking techniques adapted for festive Halloween presentation.
