Ingredients

Tangzhong:
2.5 tbsp bread flour 
1/2 cup water

Bread – Dry Ingredients:
2.5 tsp instant yeast
2.75 cups bread flour
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1/3 tbsp Suncore Foods® Ebony Carrot Powder
1 tbsp Suncore Foods® Purple Sweet Potato Powder

Bread – Wet Ingredients:
1/2 cup soy milk, warm (110F)
All the roux
1/4 cup plant-based butter, softened

Directions

1. Make the roux by cooking the flour and water until you get a curd. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients.

3. Add the warm milk and roux to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment. Then add the dry ingredients.
Turn the mixer on medium-low and mix for 5-7 minutes until gluten develops and the dough feels elastic.

4. Add the butter one tablespoon at a time and wait until it's fully incorporated before adding more.

5. Mix for another 5-7 minutes until the butter is completely incorporated and the dough is smooth and feels elastic.

6. Shape the dough into a ball and transfer to a greased bowl. Cover and let rise for 60-90 minutes or until doubled in size.

7. Gently deflate the dough and divide into 4 equal parts and shape into 4 balls.
Cover and let rise for 15 minutes.

8. Lightly grease a 25x10 cm loaf tin.

9. Using a rolling pin, roll out each dough into an oval. Fold the two short edges towards the center.

10. You should end up with a rectangle.

11. Starting from one short edge, roll the dough into a log and place into the tin seal side down. Repeat with the remaining dough.

12. Cover and let rise for another 30-60 minutes or until the dough reaches the border.

13. Preheat the oven to 55C degrees.

14. Brush the bread with some soy milk.

15. Bake for about 15 minutes, then lower the heat to 160C and bake for another 10-12 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool into the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool down completely. Enjoy!
