- Hi, everybody.
Today's recipe is Ppang!
Ppang, it's sikppang in Korean. In English?
a loaf of bread!
I'm going to make 2 loaves of bread today.
"Hey Maangchi,
what happened to you, you are supposed to eat rice only!"
No, no.
I love bread, I love bread.
I used to buy bread on a regular basis
and made a toast every morning for my breakfast.
Problem is that it happened last year
because of pandemic started. I used to buy bread,
very nice, delicious bread.
The bakery was franchised, but it was closed totally.
So I worked on this recipe for myself first.
I did some experiment.
Added less, added more... and I think this is perfect.
I make this bread almost every other week.
Of course I eat also rice.
Don't worry, rice and kimchi.
So when I finish two loaves of bread, I make it again
just like a kimchi I make!
I thought that you guys might be interested in it.
All of you guys are my favorite people.
I cannot wait to share this recipe with you.
I would like to name this bread, Pandemic Ppang.
You like it? Pandemic bread?
Probably even though all pandemic is done,
I don't think I need to buy bread,
just this kind of sandwich bread anymore.
We need 1/4 cup butter.
This is unsalted butter.
Let's melt butter.
Butter is well melted and I'm going to turn off.
I will add cold milk, 1 1/2 cup.
1 cup and 1/2 cup.
Sugar 1/4 cup.
Stir this.
Let's check temperature.
Yeah, it's a kind of lukewarm.
I use instant yeast.
This 1 package is around two teaspoons.
Let's wait until this is a little foamy, like activated.
And then we're going to add rest of the ingredients.
5 minutes later, it looks really foamy.
Okay, now I'm going to add the salt, 1 teaspoon
plus 1/2 teaspoon.
1 and 1/2 teaspoon.
Let's add 2 eggs.
And then stir this.
4 cups of flour, bring it!
I would measure 4 cups and then add here.
...Two.
...Four
You can use any brand name of flour.
This is unbleached all-purpose flour.
That's what I use.
Make 1 lump.
Then we gotta knead.
Time to knead seriously!
I gotta use my hand. I don't have any
electric mixer because my hands are mixer.
You need to knead very nicely, 300 times.
That's also from my own experiment, like this one.
Like this, two
three, this way.
So 300 times takes around 4
or 5 minutes. Then it's kind of perfect.
Nice!
And close.
2 hours later, come back, okay?
See you soon.
(upbeat music)
I am back, let's check out check out.
Ooh aah, ooh aah.
Okay these are wow, gorgeous and nice nice and shiny!
A little bit flour.
If this is sticky, I'm going to use this.
So soft, nice.
And some flour.
(upbeat music)
I'm going to divide this into 2 pieces.
(upbeat music).
And I'm going to use this baking pan.
This my favorite pan.
I don't add any butter or anything.
It's non-stick pan, 8 1/2 inch.
And here's 4 1/2 inch.
And height is 2 3/4 inch.
You can buy this kind of pan in a kitchenware store
or even online.
Check out the recipe, I will give you the link.
So just make a shape.
and a little flour.
Each one, I gotta quickly knead like this.
Remove all the gas inside.
And this too.
I put some flour here
and make this rectangular.
This size is around 7 inch.
7 inch x 6 inch.
And then just roll it up.
Like this.
So in the pan,
Like this.
Then, also roll this up,
like this.
We've got to rise this until it reaches
more than double.
I'm going to let this rise for 1 hour.
See you soon.
Okay, we are ready.
See? These guys rose very, very nicely.
I preheated my oven 350 Fahrenheit.
Now exactly 350F. Let's bake it.
So, I just baked 25 minutes.
We didn't see inside yet.
But look at that! amazing.
Besides this smells amazing.
I love this!
I can pay $10 for this smell.
I'm going to cool it down a little bit
and take it out.
Wow, nice, nice!
Oh my, smells so good.
Look at this, great, eh.
Nice.
Oh my God, look at that.
Look at that.
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.
Spongy.
I'll put some butter here,
And jam
See?
Very spongy,moist, and fluffy.
What I usually do,
I'm going to eat this 1 week later maybe, so freeze.
and this one goes in refrigerator.
With this bread, you can make a tuna sandwich,
a grilled cheese, or just a plain toast.
You can enjoy anything.
Today we made Pandemic Ppang.
Enjoy my recipe.
See you next time, bye!~
