美味香烤可乐鸡 Baked Coca Cola Chicken

I used to be a huge fan of coca cola carbonated drinks during teenage days. But now, being in my late forties I steer away from consuming it no matter how tempted I was after drenching in sweat from staying out under the hot sun.

我在童年时期超级爱饮可乐汽水，如今已步入中年为了照顾身体而疏远这类饮品，就算是在太阳底下爆嗮而汗流浃背都会忍着不去动它。

Today I am trying out this recipe adapted from Center Cut Cook which yields extremely good results. The chicken came out juicy and tender while the rich sauce further enhance the satisfaction. This recipe is sure a keeper.

今天尝试了Center Cut Cook网上的这道可乐烤鸡食谱，效果非常满意。烤出来的鸡肉香嫩即多汁，再配上那浓香的烹调酱更加可口。这的确是道值得收藏的好食谱。

Method 做法

With the exception of (B) butter, combine all the ingredients (A) mixing bowl and knead till combined.

除了无盐牛油B以外，所有把材料A混入盆中混合搓匀成团。

Add unsalted butter (B) and slowly increase the speed to medium and continue kneading for approx. 20-25 mins, until the dough becomes smooth and pass the window pane test. The same applies when you are completely kneading by hand.

加入无盐牛油(B)然后依照揉面标准程序继续以中速把面团搅拌（大约20-25分钟）手搓面团也是以相同的标准程序将面团搓成撑得起薄膜的面团。

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 27 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27等份, 滚圆盖上拧干的湿布或保鲜膜再让面团松弛15分钟.

Roll each ball into a 8-9 inch rope. Braid 3 ropes together, pinch the ends and tuck them under to seal. Gently place the braided dough on a baking tray line with greased parchment paper. Space the doughs 4 inches apart to make room for the doughs to expand. 
将面团擀成8-9寸长条，每3条为一组，编成三股辫尾端捏紧收口朝内，然后排入已刷上不融化牛油(或铺上烘培纸)的烤盘上。面团之间应保留4寸的距离，给予面团膨胀的空间。

Repeat the process for the balance 24pcs of dough.
重复同样的做法把其余的24份面团完成。

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

将烤模放入未开火的烤箱中, 面团表面喷些水然后盖上烤箱门, 再侍发酵50-60分钟至两倍大.

发酵好前8-10分钟, 将烤面团模从烤箱中取出, 烤箱打开预热刊至180C度.

Apply egg wash over the surface. Sprinkle toppings (C) on top.

在完成第二次发酵的面包表层上涂上蛋液。面团表层撒上C装饰材料。
