Description
Matcha Melon Pan Cream Sandwiches are a delightful fusion of soft bread and matcha-flavored cookie crust, filled with whipped cream and white chocolate matcha slabs.
Ingredients
- Bread flour – 2 cups
- Matcha powder – 2 tbsp
- Sugar – ¼ cup
- Yeast – 2 tsp
- Butter – 3 tbsp (softened)
- Milk – ¾ cup (warm)
- Egg – 1 large
- White chocolate – 1 cup (melted with 1 tsp matcha for filling squares)
- Whipped cream – 1 ½ cups (for sandwich filling)
Instructions
- Combine flour, yeast, sugar, matcha, milk, egg, and butter to form a soft dough; knead until smooth and elastic.
- Let rise 1 hour until doubled.
- Prepare cookie crust: mix ½ cup flour, ¼ cup sugar, 2 tbsp butter, and 1 tbsp matcha into a crumbly dough. Roll out and cover bread portions, scoring crisscross patterns.
- Bake rolls 15–18 minutes until puffed and lightly crisp. Cool completely.
- Melt white chocolate with matcha, pour into molds or squares, and chill to set.
- Slice rolls in half, sandwich with whipped cream and matcha chocolate slabs.
- Chill before serving for a perfect chewy, creamy texture.
Notes
- Ensure the milk is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
- For a stronger matcha flavor, adjust the amount of matcha powder in the filling.
- These sandwiches are best served chilled for optimal texture.
