## Tools

Rectangular baking pan (10x15 in), Square baking pan (9x9 in), Greaseproof paper, Microwave, Large container, Cling film, Rolling pin, Oven

## Method (15 steps)

1. **Mix the Ingredients** — Combine the flour, milk (heat in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to about 40°C), yeast, egg, granulated sugar, and salt.
   - Duration: 5 min
   - Tip: Do not make the milk too hot, or it may kill the yeast.
   ![Step 1: Mix the Ingredients](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_wu-chu-shi-ji-feng-mi-mian-bao/step_1.jpg)
2. **Knead Into a Dough** — Stir the dough until the ingredients are evenly combined into a ball.
   - Duration: 3 min
   - Tip: The dough may be quite sticky at this stage.
   ![Step 2: Knead Into a Dough](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_wu-chu-shi-ji-feng-mi-mian-bao/step_2.jpg)
3. **Add the Butter** — Add the softened butter and mix it in.
   - Duration: 2 min
   - Tip: Knead the butter fully into the dough.
   ![Step 3: Add the Butter](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_wu-chu-shi-ji-feng-mi-mian-bao/step_3.jpg)
4. **Knead the Dough by Hand** — Continue stirring and kneading by hand until the dough is evenly mixed.
   - Duration: 10 min
   - Tip: Knead by hand until the dough surface is relatively smooth.
   ![Step 4: Knead the Dough by Hand](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_wu-chu-shi-ji-feng-mi-mian-bao/step_4.jpg)
5. **First Proof** — Cover the container with cling film and let it rest at room temperature (10-20°C) for 1-2 hours.
   - Duration: 60 min
   - Tip: A slightly longer time will not significantly affect the result.
   ![Step 5: First Proof](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_wu-chu-shi-ji-feng-mi-mian-bao/step_5.jpg)
6. **Check the Proof** — The dough is ready when it has visibly risen to twice its size and is no longer very sticky to the touch.
   - Duration: 1 min
   - Tip: You can test by poking a hole with a flour-dusted finger; if it does not spring back, it is ready.
   ![Step 6: Check the Proof](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_wu-chu-shi-ji-feng-mi-mian-bao/step_6.jpg)
7. **Divide the Dough** — Divide the dough into portions of about 60g each; adjust the size to your preference.
   - Duration: 5 min
   - Tip: Using a digital scale will give more uniform results.
   ![Step 7: Divide the Dough](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_wu-chu-shi-ji-feng-mi-mian-bao/step_7.jpg)
8. **First Roll and Shape** — Roll each small piece of dough into a tongue shape with a rolling pin, then roll it up. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
   - Duration: 10 min
   - Tip: Resting helps relax the gluten, making the next rolling easier.
   ![Step 8: First Roll and Shape](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_wu-chu-shi-ji-feng-mi-mian-bao/step_8.jpg)
9. **Second Roll and Cut** — Roll into a tongue shape again with the rolling pin, roll it up, and cut it in half (one becomes two).
   - Duration: 5 min
   - Tip: The cut surface will be dipped in flour later.
   ![Step 9: Second Roll and Cut](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_wu-chu-shi-ji-feng-mi-mian-bao/step_9.jpg)
10. **Third Roll and Cut** — Roll into a tongue shape again, roll it up, and cut it in half (two become four).
   - Duration: 5 min
   - Tip: You can roll and cut a few more times if you have the time.
   ![Step 10: Third Roll and Cut](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_wu-chu-shi-ji-feng-mi-mian-bao/step_10.jpg)
11. **Prepare the Pan** — Line the baking pan with greaseproof paper and pour in peanut oil. Dip the bottom of each rolled dough piece in water and flour, then place them in the pan.
   - Duration: 5 min
   - Tip: Dipping the bottom in oil and flour is key to creating a crispy base.
   ![Step 11: Prepare the Pan](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_wu-chu-shi-ji-feng-mi-mian-bao/step_11.jpg)
12. **Second Proof** — Cover with cling film and let it proof again.
   - Duration: 30 min
   - Tip: You can refrigerate at this stage and bake the next day.
   ![Step 12: Second Proof](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_wu-chu-shi-ji-feng-mi-mian-bao/step_12.jpg)
13. **Brush with Beaten Eggs** — Brush a layer of beaten eggs evenly over the surface of the bread.
   - Duration: 2 min
   - Tip: The beaten eggs give the finished product a golden, appetizing color.
   ![Step 13: Brush with Beaten Eggs](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_wu-chu-shi-ji-feng-mi-mian-bao/step_13.jpg)
14. **Bake** — Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F) and bake for 18-20 minutes.
   - Duration: 18 min
   - Tip: Watch the browning closely to prevent burning.
   ![Step 14: Bake](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_wu-chu-shi-ji-feng-mi-mian-bao/step_14.jpg)
15. **Final Decoration** — After baking, brush with honey water and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
   - Duration: 2 min
   - Tip: Brushing with honey water while hot helps it absorb better.
   ![Step 15: Final Decoration](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_wu-chu-shi-ji-feng-mi-mian-bao/step_15.jpg)

## Tips

- The proofing time is not fixed. Check every hour to confirm; the dough is ready when it has visibly risen. Aim for 2 to 2.5 times its original size.
- The size of the dough will not significantly affect the texture or baking result; adjust to your preference.
- The bread will harden in the refrigerator; heat in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to restore its softness.
