To get started with this recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can have crocodile-shaped melon bread in the microwave using 13 ingredients and 18 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Crocodile-Shaped Melon Bread in the Microwave:

1. Make ready 100 grams Bread (strong) flour
2. Get 100 grams Cake flour
3. Take 140 grams Milk
4. Get 20 grams Salted butter
5. Take 20 grams Sugar
6. Take 4 grams Dry yeast
7. Get 3 grams Salt
8. Make ready 4 grams + 1 teaspoon Matcha + hot water
9. Prepare 100 grams ＊Cake flour
10. Take 50 grams ＊Butter (unsalted)
11. Get 1 ＊Egg yolk
12. Prepare 40 grams ＊Sugar
13. Get 3 grams ＊Matcha

Steps to make Crocodile-Shaped Melon Bread in the Microwave:

1. Make the cookie dough from the ingredients marked ＊. Cream the butter and mix with the sugar until smooth. Then add the egg yolks, mix, sift in the flour and matcha and fold in with a spatula until it's no longer floury. Split the dough into 6, wrap with plastic wrap and leave to rest in the refrigerator.
2. Making the bread dough. Add the butter and milk to a heat-resistant bowl and warm to body temperature in the microwave. Mix until the butter has melted, add in the yeast and sugar and mix once more.
3. Add 1/3 of the flour and mix with a whisk until it's no longer floury. Then add the remaining 2/3 of the flour and fold in with a spatula.
4. Add the matcha and blend in for 1 minute. Once the colour starts to change a little, it should be enough, so wrap the dough and warm for 30 seconds in a 200 W microwave. Turn out onto a dusted surface and knead the dough until the colour becomes even and it stops sticking to your hands. You may need to re-dust the surface.
5. To keep the surface of the dough nice and even, form the dough into a ball by folding the dough under itself. Wrap with plastic wrap and leave to rest for 15 minutes under a damp cloth. Once the dough has expanded to 1.5 times the original size, deflate the dough and it's ready for shaping.
6. Split the dough into 7 pieces. Take 1 of the 7 pieces and use it to make the eyes and feet. From this piece use 1/4 of the dough for eyes so split into 12 pieces. Split the rest of the 3/4 into 24 pieces for the feet. Keep these pieces under a damp cloth. Take the 6 big pieces of dough and roll each one out to a size of 2.5 x 17 cm. You should be able to make 6 crocodiles with 1 body, 2 eyes and 4 feet each as in the photo.
7. Let's make the crocodile's body. To create the tail, form the dough gradually into a point and create the snout by pressing the dough at the front down with your finger.
8. Poke some holes in the end of the snout with a toothpick to create the nostrils. Add some cocoa mixed in water into the nostrils to give shadow and a more relaistic looking croc when it's done.
9. Roll out the cookie dough to a 5 x 12 cm rectangle. To avoid dealing with the stickiness try rolling it out between 2 sheets of cling film.
10. Rest this cookie dough on top of the body you made in step 8. Once you've wrapped the cookie dough over the edges, start working on top of a sheet of parchment paper. This is because when you start putting things together it will become had to move.
11. With a toothpick, carve some triangle patterns on to the crocodiles back. It's an annoying but necessary step if you want your crocodile to look real.
12. Make the dough for the eyes into balls and flatten one edge of the feet down to make them easier to attach to the body. Carve some claws into the feet and attach everything together by pressing with your fingertips. If you have egg whites left over from the cookie dough you can use this as a type of glue to fix everything together better.
13. And now you've got a full body! Try bending the tail to one side for a sense of motion. Because it takes so long to form 1 body, keep the rest of the dough covered with a damp cloth while you are working.
14. Once the tail is bent, get it on the baking tray. Wrap with cling film and pop in the microwave for 30 seconds at 200w. Leave to rise for 20 minutes and then bake in an oven preheated to 200°C for 30 minutes.
15. Once baked, leave to cool and apply finishing touches such as chocolate eyes to finish. I burned these a little and their faces went a bit brown. Their nostrils stand out thanks to the cocoa mixture.
16. December 2008 - tried making the bread dough in a bread maker. It came out plumper than making it in the microwave.
17. When using a bread maker, reduce the amount of yeast to 3 g. You could add more matcha or green tea without affecting the taste.
18. If the dough is browning too much try covering it with foil while it's baking. If you are using a gas oven with a strong flame please adjust the cooking time appropriately.

Unlike purchasing a new car, you cannot exchange your worn out body for a new one. You should learn how to look after it as early as possible. Your body cannot work properly if it does not have adequate nutrition.

Do you eat because food is available and you savor the taste or do you opt for healthy foods? How often do you eat mini mart junk food, or oily fried foods from the local fast food eating places?

There is an epidemic of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and several others, likely induced by the foods that are eaten. Many people are realizing the importance of their food choices and are becoming more conscious about their health.

Once you trade in the junk food for these super foods, you will be surprised at how well you will soon feel. Giving your body the nutrition it needs will help it to function well. As a result, your immune system will easily ward off health conditions.

Your daily diet should contain at least some of these super foods. Why not eat some beans or blueberries? Things that are green, such as broccoli, spinach, and green tea. Include whole grains and nuts. Furthermore, you may want to eat salmon, turkey, yogurt, soya, tomatoes, oranges, and pumpkins. Eating from this list of foods, you will never have a weight problem again.
