Sweet Buns

Hah, a second entry in a week! Am I on the roll?! hahaha..just hope I won't lose this baking mojo! Anyway, adapted this recipe from Daniel Leong, one of the members of Baking Corner on Facebook. I thought that the recipe is a little too much for just the 3 of us at home so I halved the recipe, tweaked some of the amounts of the ingredients and hoped for the best! eheheh! What I liked about the recipe is that it is a very straightforward recipe that does not require overnight dough or the cooking of tangzhong to make it soft, as sworn by everyone who had tried it out. So I just had to join the bandwagon and test out the recipe myself!
 
Sweet Buns Recipe
 
Ingredients:
 
A
- 300g bread flour
- 48g caster sugar
- 22g milk powder (I used Nespray)
- 4g yeast
 
B
- 34g egg
- 150g water
 
C
- 50g butter
 
D
- 1 egg plus a tablespoon of water for eggwash
 
E
- melted butter for glazing at the end of the bake
 
Method:
 
1. Mix ingredients A
2. Mix ingredients B
3. Add ingredients B to A and knead until smooth, then add butter
4. Continue kneading until you reach the window-pane stage
5. Form the dough into a ball, place it in a metal bowl and cover it loosely with cling wrap (I used some coconut oil to grease a metal bowl before placing the dough in it for it's first fermentation) for 2 hours and 45 minutes
6. Punch out the dough, weigh and divide accordingly to the size that you want and leave it for its second rise for about 10 minutes
8. Preheat oven to 180 Degree Celcius
7. Roll and shape your dough for the final time and leave it to rise for 45 minutes
8. Brush with some egg wash (and add toppings if you have any) and bake for 10-15 minutes
9. Remove from the oven, place it on the cooling rack and quickly brush over with the melted butter
10. Leave to cool or enjoy your bread warm!=)
 

 
I added the butter only when the dough was smooth and not sticking to the metal bowl
(Step 3)
 
 
Continue kneading until you reach the window-pane stage 
(Step 4)
 
 
Form a ball and place it in a bowl, covered loosely with a piece of cling wrap. Leave it to rise for 2 hours and 45 minutes
(Step 5)
 
After 2 hours and 45 minutes
 
 
Weigh out the dough and leave it for a second rise for about 10 minutes
(Step 6)
 
 
Roll and shape the dough and leave it for a final rise for 45 minutes
(Step 7)
 
 
Remove from the oven, place it on the cooling rack and brush over with melted butter
