Soboro Bread, Korean Peanut Streusel Bread

cornstarch

flour

Peanut Streusel 1. In a bowl, cream the butter and peanut butter until smooth. Add the sugar and mix until incorporated. Add the yolk and vanilla extract and combine. Add the all purpose flour, baking powder, and cornstarch and mix until a cohesive dough forms.

Flour Paste/Tangzhong

1. In a microwave safe bowl, whisk the water and bread flour together until there are no lumps. Microwave at 20 second intervals, whisking inbetween, until the mixture is thick and smooth like a pudding.

Once the dough roughly comes together, place the dough hook on the stand mixer and mix on medium low speed for 5 minutes.

Fold in the butter by hand. Once the butter is roughly incorporated, continue kneading with the dough hook on medium low for 5 minutes.

Flour your hands and form the dough into a ball. Transfer to a bowl that&#8217;s been lightly greased with oil. Cover and place is a warm place. Let rise for 40 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes or until doubled in size.  To test if it&#8217;s ready, flour your index finger and press into the dough, like you&#8217;re poking someone. If the dough springs back, let it rise for a little longer. If the indentation remains, the dough is ready.

Scoop two heaping tablespoons of peanut streusel on the countertop and press the wet part of the dough into the streusal. Make sure to stick as much of the streusel onto the dough as possible. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
