About Me

My photo
I´m a foodie who lives to eat. A Singaporean living in the heart of Jakarta. My food blog started because I could never remember my recipes back when we travelled back and forth from here and Singapore...and I´m terrible at keeping folders! So this was my savior. I still rely on this blog to cook so just know that the recipes here are all tried and tested!

Fool proof bun recipe


I cannot live without bread... and because im usually too lazy to go down to buy some i always end up making ...

A.
1 cup warm water
3 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon instant yeast

B.
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups bread flour
3 tablespoon milk powder
2 tablespoon softened butter

very simply add ingredients A in your mixing bowl. Wait for the yeast to froth and add all the B ingredients. Knead with a dough hook for 6-8 minutes. Add a bit of flour if the dough is still sticky. Cover and rest until doubled for an hour.

Punch the dough down and make rolls and hotdog buns with it. Or fill it with coconut filling or curry filling. Whatever you fancy. Arrange on your baking tray, brush with egg wash and rest until doubled. Bake for 25-30 min on 160-170 degrees until golden. Brush the buns with melted butter once you take it out from the oven .
