Matcha red bean bread

Time to run my bread machine! It has been sitting at my counter for some time now...again.

 I have to admit the Bread machine comes in handy especially when you want to laze around and not do anything :)

For this bread, I like it to have a slightly stronger matcha flavour as well as a sharp colour, sugar is enough to balance the bitterness (matcha) here, not to worry.
A flavourful bread.
 
Ingredients
Bread flour  350g
Matcha powder  12g
Dry yeast  5g
Castor sugar  53g
Salt 4g
Lukewarm milk  226g
Egg  36g
Unsalted butter  36g
Sweetened cooked red bean 115g

Spread the beans generously, roll up part by part, slowly.

Method ( bread machine)

1.  Milk, beaten egg, sugar and salt goes in the container first.  Next, pour in the flour, matcha powder and yeast.  Set "Dough" mode and press " Start". 

 When everything comes as a rough dough about 10 minutes later, add in softened butter. ( If it is too sticky, add one tablespoon of flour, only one tablespoon at a time).  Let the machine do the rest of the kneading job for you.

 2.  When it is done, transfer dough to your floured working surface.  Punch down air, roll out long,  place one part of red beans on the top, roll it up a bit, goes on to finish the job. Seal  both sides and botttom seams up.

 3.  Place the dough back in the container, attached to the machine ( paddle is not in used now). Cover with a wet cloth on top of the container,  let it rise for an hour (without turning the machine on). After an hour, remove the wet cloth, turn on the machine, set "Bake",  set time for one hour, press "start".

 4.  When it is ready, remove the container out of the machine. Transfer the loaf onto the wire rack to cool completely.
