I've got a few requests recently from friends and since i have nothing to do at this moment , i decide to go back here and sharing how to make Asian sweet buns .
heres the original link i followed :
after a few trials and errors and modification , i just got one for myself because its quick and simple just to fit my lazy cooking style :-D
First , try to gather all the ingredients at once
And here we need :
3/4 cup milk + 1/2 stick butter : put in microwave for 1 minute
add 2 1/2 tps active yeast + 1 tsp sugar : mix well and wait 5 mins to activate the yeast
in the mixing bowl using flat hook , add : 2 cups bread flour + pinch of salt + 2 T sugar ( add more sugar if you prefer ) : mix at speed 1 for 1 min
add 4 eggs , one at a time , then turn mixer at highest speed for 3 mins . The batter is runny at this point .
Use the timer to not over mix
Change to dough hook , add 2 1/2 - 3 cups bread flour , mix at speed 4 for a good 7 mins until the dough is no longer sticky , smooth and elastic
Let dough rise in warm place for 90 mins or doubled in size .
i toss mine in the oven and here it is after 90 mins
then deflate the dough and divide into 16 equal balls
shape or stuff the balls as needed , then let balls rise again for another 90 mins in warm place
here it is , double in size again after 90 mins
Now its time to have some fun , i let little one in charge and gosh she is so excited :)
Egg wash : 1 egg yolk + 2 tsps water
Bake @ 375F for 15-20 mins , cover the top with aluminum foil if it gets too brown
These are great after-school- snacks for the little one
" mommy can i have 1 more please ? "
She loves and can it every.single.morning with cream cheese or peanut butter .
the bread is just soft, fluffy and slightly chewy. I store it at room temperature for 2 days then put it in the fridge for up to a week , microwave 30 seconds and it tastes as good as it's out of the oven :)
Hope it helps . Happy baking :)
