Butter and Sugar Bun......a very busy weekend !

Last week it was quite a busy week for us at home. We are having 'kenduri' and I invited some of my relatives including my family member to come over.

Since Friday was a public holiday in Perak, apa lagi cuti sakan Le orang Perak! Our kenduri Aqiqah for my daughter which was supposed to be on Saturday was moved to Sunday coz Al Ghufran Mosque in Taman Tun Dr Ismail was booked earlier on and they're quite busy on Saturday.

Malam tadi sebelum menghantar adik2 tersayang ke KL Sentral pulang ke kampung, I pun buat lah butter and sugar bun buat bekalan dalam train nanti, jadilah buat alas perut!

Here is the recipe

270 g ................................ Bread flour
30g ................................... Cake flour
5g ..................................... Salt
2tsp ................................. Instant yeast
50g .................................. Sugar
30g .................................. Unsalted butter
100g ................................ Milk
1 ....................................... Egg
80g .................................. Water

Topping
90 g ............................... Butter
90g ................................ Granulated sugar


Mix together egg, water and milk.
Put the flour, the sugar and yeast in a bowl, whisk to combine, add and salt whisk again. Pour the egg and milk mixture into the bowl.
Use large spoon (or pastry scraper) to mix everything together, and knead briefly to bring all the ingredients together.
Take the dough out of the bowl and knead, you will see the dough will be elastic after about 2 minutes.
Add the butter and knead by using the heel of your hands to compress and push the dough away from you, then fold it back over itself. Give the dough a little turn and repeat. Put the weight of your body into the motion and get into a rhythm. Keep folding over and compressing the dough. Knead for 10-15 minutes or until the dough is soft, pliable, smooth and slightly shiny, almost satiny. But this dough is a bit sticky, use a bit of flour will help (1-2 tbsp)
See how to knead bread here.
Put the dough into a light buttered bowl. Let the dough rise in a warm place until double in size (can be 1 hour or 1 hour and a half check often depend on the temperature).

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Line 2 baking sheets with baking paper.
Take the dough out of the bowl, deflate by touch it lightly.
Cut the dough into 10 pieces roll into a ball and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Flatten each ball with the side of your hand, fold the dough and roll into a small batard. I didn't do it, am in a hurry so I just round the dough.

Let the dough rise until almost double in size, about 30 minutes.
5 minutes before baking, cut the top of the dough and place the butter cubes over the dough and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
