How to bake a bread loaf with a cute little panda hiding inside!
Thanks to you tuber paperbridgeblablahs who mentioned in a comment that she made panda bread, I googled it and fell in love immediately. :) It is a little weird eating green bread but you can only taste bread, and a very nice bread at that!
Found the bread recipe I used and instructions here: http://www.tablespoon.com/recipes/pan... (this site has bread machine instructions)
Here is a website with more photo instructions, step by step. The text is in Japanese but the photos are excellent: http://cookpad.com/recipe/349795
This video is not in English but shows the method quite well but from a "bottom up" perspective. He assembles it "backwards" from the other methods, I may try it this way the next time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bM7M5p...
Recipe: 3 cups all-purpose flour 2 1/2 tbsp white granulated sugar 1 cup milk 1 egg yolk 3/4 tbsp salt 1 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened (I used salted butter, not enough salt to make a difference) 1 tbsp green tea powder mixed with 2 tsp hot water (I used green paste food colouring) 3 1/2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder mixed with 1 1/2 tsp hot water 2 1/4 tsp instant active dry yeast (1 envelope)
Mix milk and egg yolk together in a large bowl and place in microwave for 40 seconds until mixture feels very warm to the touch. Add sugar, salt and yeast and mix together. Blend in one cup of flour with a spoon or whisk. Blend in second cup of flour with spoon, dough will pull away from sides, add a bit more flour until dough starts to come together. Knead into dough ball in bowl and then invert onto countertop and knead for at least 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic (adding a little bit of flour to countertop if sticking) You may not need the entire three cups of flour. Divide dough as follows:
First division: Divide white dough into three pieces two large and one small (small one about a third the size of the one of the other two large ones) Place one plain dough ball in a greased bowl, turning dough to coat and cover.
Knead in green food colouring into other large plain dough ball, this may take a while, be patient. (don't worry about over kneading bread dough, that isn't possible). Place in greased ball, turn to coat and cover.
Knead black food colour into small dough ball. Place in greased ball, turn to coat and cover.
Place all three covered bowls in a warm place to rise. I used my oven with just the oven light on inside. Let rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours. The rising time will depend on the temperature. If it won't rise or takes hours, could be your yeast was not good. Make sure it is not passed the expiry date on the package.
After the dough has risen divide the dough:
Black dough : Cut into four equal pieces Green dough: Cut into two pieces, one piece twice as small as the large one. White dough: Cut into three pieces, two large, on small (one half the size of one of larger ones)
Assemble the panda loaf as per video and website directions.
Hints: Use a pastry brush to lightly brush bread dough with water to help the pieces stick together. Make sure that the black pieces are long enough to stretch the entire length of the white dough so that your end pieces will be prettier. When wrapping in green dough, stretch to cover entire loaf and make sure seams are secure and well sealed, use a bit of water to help.
I was hoping to get the "kidney bean" shape of the panda eye patches. I will try to get this the next time I make this. I think that next time I will divide off a bit more dough for the black to make the eye parts larger. I bet that making panda cookies like these would be just as easy! It really is like revealing something magical when you cut into this loaf :)

レディー・ガガ(Lady Gaga)は去年9月に祖父が他界した後、『The Edge of Glory』(ジ・エッジ・オブ・グローリー)を作りあげた。「この曲はこの世の最後の瞬間、真実の瞬間、この世を去る前の瞬間についての曲なの。」とガガは語った。
初めてこの曲きいたとき、奇麗と思って、歌いたかったのです。映像は全て自作で下手ですけど、歌だけを聞いて頂いたら嬉しいです。☆ミ
When I heard the piano cover of this song I thought it was so pretty and I wanted to try singing over it. It was pretty hard to shoot this video myself so it's not very good, but I wanted to get the song up, at least.
I won't make a habit of posting music but, I wanted to get an English song up, considering the only other song I've ever really uploaded was in Japanese.
LYRICS (英語) "The Edge of Glory" There ain't no reason you and me should be alone Tonight yeah baby, tonight yeah baby But I got a reason that you-hoo should take me home tonight I need a man that thinks it's right when it's so wrong Tonight yeah baby, tonight yeah baby Right on the limit's where we know we both belong tonight It's hot to feel the rush, to brush the dangerous I'm gonna run right to, to the edge with you Where we can both fall far in love I'm on the edge of glory And I'm hangin' on a moment of truth Out on the edge of glory And I'm hangin' on a moment with you I'm on the edge with you The edge I'm on the edge of glory And I'm hangin' on a moment with you I'm on the edge with you Another shot before we kiss the other side Tonight yeah baby, tonight yeah baby I'm on the edge of something final we call life tonight Alright, alright Put on your shades 'cause I'll be dancing in the flames Tonight yeah baby, tonight yeah baby It isn't hell if everybody knows my name tonight Alright, alright It's hot to feel the rush, to bush the dangerous I'm gonna run right to, to the edge with you Where we can both fall far in love I'm on the edge of glory And I'm hangin' on a moment of truth Out on the edge of glory And I'm hangin' on a moment with you I'm on the edge with you
