Teeny Weeny Little Buns




Just realised that I have not been updating this hobby of mine....not that I have stopped baking since October. I have been so busy with Loraine's PSLE exam.



Made 2 types of buns for breakfast couple of weeks ago - plain and cranberries.



The plain ones were nice with butter and jam which the children like. The adults prefer the cranberries. I like them both.




I can eat 2 each for breakfast with coffee.

  1. Hi,

    I chanced across your website. Great buns u have out there. Care to share the recipe? I can't bake good buns. My buns never turn out well. Any advice?

    Thanks!

    Cheers,

  2. Hi Jessica,

    Have fun making!

    400g Bread Flour
    100g Plain Flour
    4g salt
    35g castor sugar
    50g Butter
    10g Yeast
    10g Skimmed Milk Powder
    290g Cold Water
    25g Eggs (1 egg)

    Put all dry ingredients in the mixer except the salt. Mix and add water and egg, Mix for 1 min on low speed and then 3 mins for speed 2. Add butter, mix for 1 min and then lastly salt for another 1 min. When the ingredients are all mixed, speed up to another 3 mins on speed 2.

    Prove for an hour, weigh the dough and cut into equal weight so that baking is even.
    Shape them and prove for another 15mins or longer.

    Each bun is 20g.

    Preheat oven to 200 degrees and bake for 20 mins.....adjust your oven. I bake mine at 180...my oven is pretty hot. It works better for me at 180.

  3. I also add a layer of egg wash before baking. It gives a nice gloss to the bun.
