Christmas isn’t complete without adorable Santa-themed bread! These festive treats are fun to make and perfect for sharing. Here’s a simple guide to baking your own Santa Claus bread.
Ingredients:
- 500g all-purpose flour
- 300ml warm milk
- 50g sugar
- 5g yeast
- 50g butter (softened)
- 1 egg
- Pinch of salt
- Red food coloring
- Icing sugar (for dusting)
Steps:
1. Dough Prep: Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Warm the milk, then add to the dry ingredients with the egg and softened butter. Knead until smooth, let rise for 1 hour until doubled.
2. Shape the Santas: Divide dough into small balls. For each Santa, roll a larger ball (body) and a smaller one (head). Attach with water, then add a tiny red ball for the nose.
3. Decorate: Use red food coloring to paint Santa’s hat and coat. Cut white dough into strips for the hat brim and beard. Brush with egg wash for a golden finish.
4. Bake: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Cool, then dust with icing sugar.
Tips: Get creative with add-ins like raisins for eyes or chocolate chips for buttons. These breads make great gifts or centerpieces! Enjoy the process and spread holiday joy!
