Mochi Red Bean Paste Milk Hearth Bread麻薯红豆沙鲜奶哈斯面包

This Milk Hearth bread was made with discarded sourdough starter. 💗

This is my second attempt making this bread.😊 I used the same recipe from my previous attempt but with some adjustmentsI left it fermented in the fridge overnight. And of course, you can do it and bake it on the same day!😉

The bread is soft, chewy and no sour taste. I made some adjustments to this Milk Hearth bread. I added chewy mochi and creamy red bean paste/ cheese for filling , which adds a touch of sweetness to the bread.😘
