You must master the skills when making this food, and the fermentation process is essential.

1. Put all the bread ingredients except butter into the bread bucket, put the milk and eggs first, then the flour, salt and sugar diagonally, and make a hole in the middle to make the yeast. Weigh the butter and soften it at room temperature.

7. Start the bread machine and knead the dough for a few minutes to release the air, then divide it into 6 small doughs of even size. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes.

11. Prepare some small black beans or black sesame seeds.

12. Stick them on the dough to make the caterpillar’s ​​eyes.

13. You can use greaseproof paper to cut into strips in the middle to prevent the fermented dough from growing larger and sticking together. If your baking pan is large enough or you don't think sticking will cause any problems, you can skip this step.

14. Put it in the oven and place a basin of hot water underneath to ensure the internal temperature and humidity. Cover the oven door for the second fermentation. This process takes about 45 minutes, depending on the temperature at the time.

15. Make the puffs on the surface while the fermentation time is going on. Weigh the material. I added milk powder to the low flour and it tasted better. You won’t need so much egg liquid to make the puff, so the rest can be used to brush the surface of the bread later.

22. Put the mixed puff into the piping tape and cut a very small slit at the corner with scissors. The size of the opening determines the thickness of the puff strips you squeeze out later.

23. Take the fermented bread out of the oven and remove the water. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Brush the bread with egg wash.
