I made this for my daughter's breakfast for Girls' Day festival. The heart shape suits the pink strawberry coloring.

The tip for making a heart shape is to form the dough into a conical shape to make a point at one end and the rounded tops of the heart on the other side.
The dough will be browned a bit after baking, so don't be alarmed by how pink it is at first. Recipe by Jinpiyo

Steps

1

Put the ◎ ingredients into a bread machine to make a bread dough. After 5 minutes, add the margarine. After 10 minutes, add the red food colouring dissolved with 3 or 4 drops of water.
2

Add the ★ ingredients at the end of the program. (Add the ★ ingredients little by little or take the dough out to mix ★ together. )
3

Take the dough out and deflate the dough. Then, measure, divide, and roll out the dough. Cover the dough with a wet towel to rest for 15 minutes.
4

Roll out the dough into an oval shape. Fold both ends of the dough to meet in the centre, and seal completely.
5

Roll out the dough from the both ends gently and form into an oblong shape (about 17 cm) with pointed ends. Then, fold in half so the pointed ends meet.
6

Use a scraper to make a slit that extends 2/3 from the top. (Cut all the way through.) Open up the cut sides to let them face upward and adjust the shape.
7

Line on a baking tray, leave for the final rising for about 25 minutes. Preheat the oven at 150℃.
8

Sift some bread flour on top with a tea strainer, bake for 15 minutes.
9

Bake for 12 minutes if you made 9.
10

Move the bread with a spatula to a cooling rack. (The bread is very fluffy, so be careful not to break its shape.) When they have cooled, place them in a plastic bag or similar to store.
11

If you'd prefer to have a more pronounced strawberry flavoring, use 30 g of strawberry jam instead of sugar and 130 g of milk instead of 140 g. It is also tasty to use 30 g of white chocolate chips instead of 25 g of strawberry jam.

I wrapped them for a present.
