I am really in love with making bread using my Panasonic bread maker.  Last month, I had tried making the Otah bread buns and my family love it. Below is the recipe for making the Otah bread and it is really easy to make these Otah bread dough using the bread maker.

5. Shape them into desired shape.

6. Roll out the dough, place the otah on top of the bread dough.

8. Finally, egg wash bun, sprinkle cheese and parsley flakes on top and bake in a preheated oven at about 14 to 15 mins.

For those using the same oven Rowenta OC7868 as me, I had baked those otah buns for 13 mins at 200˚C using traditional mode (top and bottom heat). Rotate the tray when it is left with 5 mins of baking time.

Happy Baking Everyone!
