Hello! Today i'm making Totoro bread filled with custard cream
First mix together the sugar and corn starch
Add milk and mix again
Beat the yolk, add and mix again
Add a few drops of vanilla extract
Strain and cook at medium heat
Beat until thickens avoiding lumps
Now you can add a tsp of butter
Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit to cool
For the bread dough mix flour, dried yeast, and sugar
Add one beaten egg and milk
Add butter an mix well until you can work with hands
Sprinkle with some flour and knead
Work until no longer sticky and make a ball
Put it on a greased bowl ant let it raise about 30 min to 1 hour
Once it doubles poke a hole, if it dissapears quickly the dough needs to raise more
Remove the gas pressing with your hands
Roll the dough and cut into 6-8 pieces depending on the size
Make the balls and take a bit of bread to make Totoro's ears later
Flatten the dough with your hands and fill each with a tsp of custard cream
Pinch the dough over the custard cream. Be sure to close well
For the ears, divide the small ball into two pieces, make a cilinder and sharpen both ends
Stick them to the body
Cover with plastic wrap and let raise again about 15 min.
Bake at 180º 15 min.
Melt white and black chocolate
With a pastry bag and white chocolate make the stomach and eyes
Make the details (eyes, nose and whiskers) with the balck chocolate
