How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh red-fleshed dragon fruit
- Skin: Choose fruits with dark red skin, plump and firm; this indicates that the fruit has just been harvested and is still fresh. Press lightly on the skin of the dragon fruit; if it feels slightly soft, it is advisable to buy it, do not choose one that is hard or mushy.
- Shape: The rounder the dragon fruit, the sweeter it is; round fruits are usually juicier.
- Tail: Choose fruits with green tails, not withered or dried, and not brown at the tips. Green tails indicate that the fruits are still fresh and may have been harvested recently.
How to choose good quality chicken eggs
- Eggshell: You should choose eggs that have a thin white powdery layer on the outside, and feel rough or heavy when touched, as these are fresh eggs. If the eggshell is smooth, shiny, or has cracks, it indicates that the eggs have been stored for a long time and are not fresh.
- Shake gently: Hold the egg up to your ear and shake it gently; if you hear a noise, it means the egg is old and has been stored for a long time. If you don’t hear anything but feel strong movement when shaking, the egg is spoiled and may be in the process of hatching…
- You should not buy eggs that show signs of cracked shells because bacteria can easily enter, or if there are signs of white mold.

How to Make Dragon Fruit Bread with Custard Filling
-
Mix the dough for the bread crust with dragon fruit
First, you cut off the skin of the dragon fruit, chop the flesh into small pieces, and then put it in the blender to blend thoroughly for about 3 minutes.
Next, add the blended dragon fruit into a large bowl along with 300g of flour, 5g of instant yeast, 10g of unsalted butter, and 100g of sugar, then mix well to combine the ingredients. After that, use your hands to knead the dough using the Folding and Stretching technique.
First, fold the dough over, then use the heel of your hand to push and stretch the dough away. Note that you should push and stretch the dough away, not push down. Next, rotate the dough 90 degrees and repeat the two steps above for 15 minutes.
How to tell if the dough is ready:
- The dough is soft and smooth, with good elasticity.
- The dough is not sticky: When pressed, it feels slightly sticky, but when you lift your finger, the dough does not stick to your hand.
- You can stretch the dough into a thin sheet without tearing.
- Check the dough with the Windowpane test by tearing off a piece of dough and stretching it out. If the dough forms a thin membrane that is not easily torn and light can pass through, it is ready.
After kneading the dough, divide it into equal parts depending on the size of the bread you need. Then, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and let it rise for about 20 minutes until it doubles in size.
-
Making the filling
Gelatin should be soaked in cold water for about 10 – 15 minutes, then squeeze out the excess water. After that, you steam the gelatin until it completely melts.
Add 250ml of unsweetened fresh milk, 50ml condensed milk, 15g of unsalted butter, 3 egg yolks, melted gelatin, 50g of sugar, 50g of sifted cornstarch, and 3 crushed salted egg yolks into a pot. Stir well over low heat until the mixture is smooth and thick, then taste and adjust seasoning before turning off the heat.
-
Shaping the bread
Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough for the bread, then place a small amount of filling in the center, wrap it tightly, and roll it into a ball. Repeat this process until all the remaining ingredients are used up.
Next, cover the bread tightly with plastic wrap and let it rise for another 20 minutes.
-
Bake the bread
Preheat the oven to 230 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes. Then, spray water mist onto the surface of the bread and bake for 20 minutes at 170 – 180 degrees Celsius until golden brown is done.
