Chicken Muffin McDonald style
I love to
have chicken muffin from Mc Donald breakfast. I try to make it at home with my
homemade muffin bread baked on the pan
It takes a
bit more time to prepare it as “there is many ways to reach Rome.” “There is no
rocket science.” “It is not a magic.”
Here I am
presenting my homemade style chicken muffin
Muffin bread
I use my
sourdough starter to prepare the bread. As other options, active dry yeast is
good to replace the starter with the quantity 10 gram dry yeast for 1 kg flour.
I love to
use cold fermentation (overnight) for my bread since I found out that it is
easier to prepare the bread.
Feeding the starter:
50 gr sourdough starter (from the
fridge)
25 gr whole wheat flour
25 ml water
I fed the starter and let it be in
room temperature for 2-3 hours.
After 2-3 hours, do floating test
(to ensure the starter is good to be used) – optional step
100 ml water
50 gr whole wheat flour
125 gr all purpose flour/bread flour
In a mixing bowl, add these
ingredients and starter together.
Mix them together and form a ball.
Let the dough autolyse in room temperature for ½ hour.
After 30 minutes, add 1 tsp salt
into the dough. Mix them well. Stretch and fold the dough until the dough is
smooth for 5-8 minutes.
Grease the bowl with 1 tsp oil.
Place the dough into the bowl.
Cover the bowl with wet towel and
place the bowl in a plastic bag. Place it in the fridge overnight.
The next morning, the dough should
be double in volume. Remove it out from the fridge and let it be in room
temperature for 1 hour.
Slightly dusted counter top. Take
out the dough into the counter and divide the dough into 4-5 pieces. Shape the
dough into ball.
Place the dough on the baking
tray/plate. Let it do final proofing for 60-90 minutes.
Score the bread with a sharp knife
or razor knife.
Baking options:
1. In the oven, bake it for 10-15
minutes at 180-190 ⁰C
2. In the pan/on the stove, heat the
non-stick pan. Place the bread dough into the pan; bake it with medium heat for
5-8 minutes (cover the pan if it is possible). Halfway through, looks at the
bottom side of dough to avoid the bread gets burned. Flip the dough and bake it
for another 5 minutes until golden brown. Bake the side of the dough as well
for another 2 minutes.
Switch off the heat/oven; remove the
dough out of the oven/pan. Let it cool down before slicing it.
