Method

  1. 1 Knead the bread dough with yeast, milk, and butter, and let it rise for 1 hour until it doubles in size.
  2. 2 Separately mix the cookie dough: butter, sugar, eggs, and flour until a soft dough is formed, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. 3 Roll out the cookie dough into a round piece and place it over the bread dough ball, covering two-thirds of it.
  4. 4 Roll the rind over the seed line, then score it in a square pattern with a blunt knife to create the melon's marbled pattern.
  5. 5 Let it rest for another 30 minutes, then bake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cracked.

With an appliance

  • Air fryer 2 hr 18 min

    Change to step 5: spray tray with oil, run the hot air boiler at 195 degrees for 10 minutes and rotate the tray after 5 minutes; if the turtle shells crack and turn yellow 5 minutes earlier, they must be spaced out and divided into batches.
