There are four primary polyphenols in green tea and they are often collectively referred to as catechins. Powerful antioxidants, catechins have been shown in recent studies to fight viruses, slow aging, and have a beneficial effect on health. Clinical tests have shown that catechins destroy free radicals and have far-reaching positive effects on the entire body. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules and fragments of molecules that can damage the body at the cellular level leaving the body susceptible to cancer, heart disease and other degenerative diseases.

- To prepare the bread dough. Sift together the flour, tea powder, sugar, salt and instant dry yeast in a mixing bowl. Add in egg, honey, milk and the starter. Mix with dough hook at slow speed for 1 minute. Increase the speed to the medium and continue to knead until a dough forms. Adjust the speed to slow and cut in butter. Stir until all incorporated. Increase the speed to medium again and knead until the gluten has developed, i. e. elastic, smooth, non-sticky and leave from sides of mixing bowl. Prove the dough in a lightly greased plastic bag for 1 hour, leave in a warm place until dough doubles in volume.
- Punch the dough down to release gases produced in the fermenting process. Divide them into 4 portions and round up. Rest, covered, for 15 minutes at the room temperature.
- To prepare the chiffon cake. Beat the egg yolk with sugar until the sugar completely dissolved. In another bowl, stir together the milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Warm the mixture to 35C/95F. Add into the egg yolk mixture. Sift the cake flour and baking powder into the liquid mixture.
- Whip the egg whites on high speed until foamy. Add the white vinegar and continue beating until soft peaks form. Beat in the sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold 1/3 of the whites into the batter to lighten it, and then fold in the rest of the whites. Pour the batter into 2 Swiss roll pan each lined with a baking sheet, spreading the cake batter with an offset spatula. Bake in a preheated oven 165C/340F for 10-12 minutes until gold brown. A toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean and the cake, when lightly pressed, will spring back.
- Immediately upon removing the cake from the oven carefully remove the parchment paper. If the baking paper sticks to the cake, lightly brush the back of the paper with a little warm water, allow to stand for a few moments, then peel the paper from the cake. Each cut into half and set aside. Roll the each bread dough out with a rolling pin to about 15 x 12 cm.
- Set the cake atop the dough and roll up from a short side. Place them on the baking pan lined with a baking sheet. Cover with a wet towel and leave to rise for about 1 hour until doubled in bulk. Preheat oven to 175C/350F and bake the bread for 20-25 minutes.

I've seen a bread and cake combo in the Chinese bakery but yours look so much more tantalizing. The texture of your bread is superior than the bakery's. In addition, there is no preservatives in the dough/batter. Thank you for sharing, Angie.
Slurp!!!Looks fabulous!! i am drooling over it just thinking about how tasty it will...
Wow, this is new to me, dough and a cake , I am learning something new from you every time I visit.... I bookmarked this to try... Thanks for educating me with all your bread techniques.... I just made another dough, using the leftover starter with Lebanese twist, I am not sure about the results, I am keeping my fingers crossed.. by the way I posted the amazing Hokkaido Milky Buns ... and my husband confirmed that this is the bun he wants for his sandwiches. Its true it smells and taste fresh as the same day you baked it.

A bientôt.
Is there anything you can't do?!?! This bread is not only BEAUTIFUL, but it looks delicious and has toxin fighting qualities!?? Amazing! How do you do it? And your photographs are, as always, incredible. I am always so impressed with your work. Keep it up and thank you for sharing!
Your green tea chiffon roll has a gorgeous crumb, I want one....
Your chiffon bread looks gorgeous, love your 3rd picture. It's a lot of work that you have put in!!!
What a gorgeous bread! I need to start brushing up my my bread baking!
Cake bread! I'm in awe, Angie!
Looks very interesting.... is this a specialty from a certain region.. or something you created yourself?? I don't think I understand your instructions fully. Is this thing baked twice....?? I mean first you make the cake.. and then roll it with the bread dough and then bake again??
Nabia: Many bakery in the southern China offer this kind of dimsum bread. Yes. You need to bake the cake first and then roll it up with bread dough to bake again.
I've not used Matcha in a long time now. About time I got back to it!
Hi Angie, is this site http://schneiderchen.de/_Bread.html yours as well? it has the same name and shows the same recipes. Anyway i saw the same Chiffon Green Tea bread with exactly the same ingredients except it states 6g Active Dry Yeast there but in your recipe here it says 6g of Instant Yeast. Which one should i follow? thank you i would like to try your recipe.
Germaine: It's mine. :-) The link you left here is actually from the old server, which will be deleted soon.
I used the instant one.
