巧克力咖啡香面包 Chocolate Chips Coffee Buns

After taking 3 weeks of break from bread making, I am beginning to get rusty with idle hands. Just when both my housekeepers are busy kneading away working on their very first bread dough, I quickly gather my own set of ingredients to make this batch of yummy coffee buns.

停顿了三个星期没制做任何面包后，一旦要开始就感觉有少许生疏手忙脚乱地。看着家中的两位女庸正忙碌学习用手搓揉她们人生第一团面包团，我才提起劲快速地准备材料来制做这道香浓及可口的咖啡面包。

When the wonderful smell of sweet cinnamon starts to permeate the entire house during baking, everyone was so eager to get their hands on the bread the minute it comes out of the even。。。

当面团在进行烘烤时所发出的甜桂花香味填满了整个家的四周围时，大家都拨不期待的等待着面包出炉，想尽快品尝这道面包。。。。

巧克力咖啡香面包
Chocolate Chips Coffee Buns

(A) Tangzhong 汤种面团

50g Bread Flour 高筋面粉
125g Milk 鲜奶
125g Water 清水

Combine (A) into a saucepan and cook over medium heat while stirring continuously until the mixture thickens to the constancy of baby porridge the tangzhong is deemed ready.

将材料A的鲜奶，水及面粉一起混入锅里搅拌均匀成面糊后，以中小火加热，边煮边搅拌直到面糊开始转浓稠便离火，继续搅拌至无粒粒如婴儿粥般即可。

Transfer tangzhong paste into a clean bowl and place a piece of cling wrap directly onto the paste to prevent a film from forming on the surface. Allow the mixture to cool before using.

把汤种面糊转入一个干净的碗，马上在面糊表层铺上一层保鲜纸以免面糊表面上生一层皮。等面糊冷却后即可加入主面团材料里混合。

把材料(B)的咖啡粉和滚水混匀，再加香草精，搅匀后待凉备用。

In a mixing bowl, combine butter and sugar (F) and beat until light and fluffy. Gradually add one teaspoon beaten egg, beat well after each addition until fully incorporated.

把温室回温的牛油及细砂糖(F)混入一个搅拌盆一起捣打至松发。用茶匙分次的把已打散的鸡蛋混入，每加一茶匙又再继续搅拌均匀才加入下一部份的鸡蛋。 重复步骤直到完全混入即可。

Sift and fold plain flour (F) over the butter egg mixture (F) to combine. Add 1 Tbsp coffee mixture (B) and mix until incorporated. Transfer coffee cream into piping bag and refrigerate until needed.

沥入面粉(F)于鸡蛋牛油糊里，拌匀。再把一大汤匙的咖啡液(B)混入，拌匀后转入挤花袋送入冰箱冷藏备用。

In the bowl of the stand mixer fitted with dough attachment, add 85g tangzhong (A) together with the   balance of ingredients (B) and (C). Mix with lower speed until all ingredients are well combined.

首先将85g汤种面糊(A), 及其余的材料(B)和(C)混入搅拌器的钢盆中，以慢速度搅拌搓揉成一个不粘手的面团。

Add unsalted butter (D) and slowly increase the speed to medium and continue kneading for 10mins before adding in chocolate chips (E) to combine. Continue kneading for approx. 5-8 mins, until the dough becomes smooth and pass the window pane test.

加入无盐牛油(D)然后依照揉面标准程序继续以中速把面团搅拌10分钟，又加巧克力碎(E)混匀。继续搅拌大约5-8分钟，直到成撑得起薄膜的面团即可。

Place dough into a slightly greased bowl. Cover bowl with either cling wrap or cloth and allow the dough to proof for 1-2  hours or until it doubled in size.

将揉好的面团滚圆，收口朝下捏紧放入涂抹少许油的盆中，盖上拧干的湿布或保鲜纸放置到温暧密闭的空间进行第一次发酵约1-2小时至面团变两倍大为止。

Punch down the dough. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and mould it round. Let it rest for another 15 mins.
将面团用手压除气体，然后把面团平均分割成10等份, 滚圆盖上拧干的湿布或保鲜膜再让面团休面15分钟.

Roll each dough round and place it on baking tray lined with parchment paper or non stick baking mat. Use the back handle of a metal spoon, lightly press the dough down to create two indent lines (as per picture).
将休克好的面团滚圆，排入已铺上烘焙纸的烤盘上。使用汤匙的手柄部份依据图片的做法轻轻的在每个面团上按下去创建两个缩进线。

Spray some water over the surface with fine mist nozzle. Final proof the buns in an unheated oven for another 50-60 mins.

将烤盤放入未开火的烤箱中，面团表面喷些水盖上烤箱门，再待发酵50-60分钟至两倍大即可。

Remove chilled cream topping (F) from fridge 10 mins prior to using to allow it to soften.
把冷却的面包奶油糊(F)从冰箱取出10分钟后便可使用。

Pipe topping (F) onto the buns (as per picture) and sprinkle some cinnamon sugar over the surface. Bake in a preheated oven at 180C degrees for 15-17 mins or until golden brown.
在面包的十字缩进线上，挤上少许装饰糊(F)。然后撒一层桂花砂糖粉在面包的面上， 送入已预热至180C度的烤箱内烘烤15-17分钟至面包烤熟及表面变金黄色即可。
