Starch gelatinization is a process that breaks down the intermolecular bonds of starch molecules in the presence of water and heat, allowing the hydrogen bonding sites (the hydroxyl hydrogen and oxygen) to engage more water. Starch begins to gelatinize between 60C and 70C, the exact temperature depends on the specific starch. For example, different starches exhibit different granular densities, which affect the ease with which these granules can absorb water.

- Add all dough ingredients, except butter, in a mixing bowl fixed with a dough hook and beat at slow speed for 1 minute. Switch to the medium speed, and continue to beat for 3 minutes until a dough forms. Cut in butter gradually and mix for approx. 5 minutes until gluten is fully developed, i. e. elastic, smooth, non-sticky and leaves from sides of mixing bowl.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased mixing bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently punch down the dough to expel the air. Let rest for 15 minutes. Roll and shape the dough into 30cmx40cm rectangle to fit the baking tray. Cover and let rise in warm place for 40 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 175C/350F. Combine pork floss and seaweed crumbs. Use the tines of a fork to prick the top of dough, then brush with egg wash. Sprinkle with chopped onions and sesame seeds and bake for about 15 minutes.
- Gently invert the bread on a parchment paper. Thinly spread with mayonnaise and cut a few slits at one edge of the bread. Be careful to cut the slits half-way through the bread only. This increases the flexibility of bread roll-up. Sprinkle with the pork floss mixture and roll up while still warm. Cut the bread into the sections to your desired length after 30 minutes. Spread the cutting sides with some mayonnaise and pork floss.

Angie,
I tried to leave you a comment on your Tang Zhong starter but I just can't leave, it says error, maybe you might wanna check on that.
I have quoted you in my blog for my readers here:

Hello my darling, how is my favourite blogger, I hope life is treating you marvelously. As you know mine was a bit topsy turvy of late, but is slowly returning to normal. I thank you for checking in on me and for the kind comments you always leave behind, you are a dear friend. I am now off to read your delicious recipes that I've missed while I was gone.
Take care
Love & Hugs

What an interesting recipe! What is pork floss, exactly?
@Caitlin: Pork floss (Rousong in Chinese) is a dried Chinese meat item that has a light and fluffy texture similar to coarse cotton. Rousong is used as a topping for many foods such as congee, tofu, and savory soy milk. It is also used as filling for various buns and pastries, and as a snack food on its own. (Wikipedia)
Dear Angie,
I just made these rolls following your recipe to the dot. My bread roll cracked when I tried to roll them up. Everything else came out good up till that point. Any suggestions, tips or advice you can share with me to avoid cracks in the bread roll will be much appreciated.
BTW, big fan of yours!
Love,
Reeze
@Reese DarraghTry to bake the bread in the middle of the hot oven and cut down baking time to 13 minutes.
@Angie's Recipes I will try that. Thanks for the tips
hi Angie,
Your recipe calls for 10g fresh yeast. Can I replace it with 10g dry active yeast? I'm planning to try this recipe this weekend. Thanks!
@YY 7 grams would be enough, YY.
thank you Angie for your quick response! Can I apply the exact same instruction for the 10g fresh yeast to the 7g dry yeast, or there's a different way to handle the dry yeast?
@YY I actually should have proven the fresh yeast before using, but I never prove the yeast and they all work great for me. And with dried active yeast, you don't have to proof it at all. So, no, you don't have to handle it differently.
Hi may I know what mayonnaise are you using? What brand? Thanks.
@AnonymousI usually use low fat kraft mayo.
This looks seriously fantastic.....!lovely n delicious .it tastes yummy too!
