Soft & Delicious Winter Snack: Egg Bread (Gyeranppang)
Homemade Egg Bread Recipe for a Cozy Treat
Whip up some comforting egg bread, a popular street food that’s perfect for warding off the winter chill! While you can make a quick version with pancake mix, using all-purpose flour yields a bread with a richer, more satisfying flavor. Enjoy this nutritious snack, boasting a slightly chewy exterior and a wonderfully soft, custardy interior, with a delightful burst of yolk.
Batter Ingredients- 50g all-purpose flour
- 1g baking powder
- 10g vegetable oil
- 1g salt
- 10g sugar
- 25g egg (about 1/2 egg)
- 40g milk (or more, to adjust batter consistency)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the batter. In a bowl, lightly whisk 25g of egg (approximately half an egg). Add 10g of vegetable oil, 1g of salt, and 10g of sugar. Gently mix these ingredients together, being careful not to create too much foam. This step establishes the foundational sweet and savory balance for your bread.
Step 2
Sift in the dry ingredients. Sift 50g of all-purpose flour and 1g of baking powder through a fine-mesh sieve into the wet ingredients. Sifting helps prevent lumps and ensures a smoother batter. Use a spatula to gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Adjust the batter’s consistency by gradually adding milk. Aim for a consistency slightly thicker than pancake batter, which should still pour smoothly.
Step 3
Prepare your baking molds. If you don’t have specific egg bread molds, small oven-safe muffin tins or mini loaf pans will work well. Lightly grease the inside of the molds with oil to prevent sticking. Fill each mold about 50% full with the prepared batter. This leaves enough space for the egg and any additional toppings.
Step 4
Now it’s time to add the star ingredient: the egg! Carefully crack one egg into the center of the batter in each mold, taking care not to break the yolk. If desired, add thinly sliced Vienna sausage on top of the batter around the egg. Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese for a melty, cheesy finish. For a touch of color and flavor, a pinch of dried parsley can be added.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the egg bread for approximately 20 minutes. Baking times can vary depending on your oven’s specifications, as well as the size and material of your molds. Keep an eye on them, ensuring the tops are golden brown and the egg is fully cooked. You can test for doneness by inserting a skewer; it should come out clean.
Step 6
Your delicious egg bread is ready! Carefully remove the hot egg bread from the molds. Enjoy it warm for a delightful snack. This homemade egg bread, with its chewy crust and soft, moist interior, pairs perfectly with a warm cup of tea or coffee, making it an ideal winter treat for the whole family. Savor the wonderful aroma and comforting texture of freshly baked egg bread!
