   * I omitted the salt because of the Tuna filling that I will be using. Tuna filling will be salted in a way hence, omitting the salt would be a healthier choice :) *

I roll up the dough like a flower :D

Close up of the loaf. Notice that there's a crack?
I didn't wrap it properly :(

The inside of the loaf. Very soft and fluffy :)

It's almost 1am when my bread dough finally got ready to be send for the baking progress. I was so dead beat that I nearly fall asleep on the sofa while waiting for my bread to be ready. Well, I was too fascinated with the new book I bought, hence with no pause, I decided to lay my hands on bread making.

It was supposed to be a Hotdog loaf instead of Tuna. Hubby doesn't really fancy hotdog buns so, I modified a little of the recipe. Switched the filling to Tuna and omitted the salt. I added more butter too, because my Hubby love buttery bread :)

Updates: The Tuna filling is more to a Japanese style. It's sweeter and not as salty as compared to the normal tuna filling we get to eat from other bakeries. I've used Mirin in the seasoning. Mirin is widely used in Japanese cuisine. You can buy it in most supermarkets and even Diaso :)
