~ SOFT BUTTER BUN ~

Ingredients :

140 ml water
1 egg
30g caster sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon bread softener
250g high protein flour
50g superfine flour
2-1/2 tablespoons milk powder (I used Fernleaf)
1-1/2 teaspoon dried instant yeast
30g margarine, at room temperature
enough sausages
enough chocolate filling
red cherries and sesame seeds for decoration

For glazing :

1 egg + 1 tablespoon fresh milk
margarine - for brushing after the buns are out of the oven

Method (using bread maker) :

1. Pour water, egg, sugar, salt and bread softener into the bread maker pan. Top it with high protein flour, superfine flour, milk powder and yeast.
2. Set the breadmaker to Dough function.
3. Once the dough is just combined, add in butter and leave the Breadmaker to continue doing it's job. This process will take about 1 1/2 hour including prooving.
4. Divide the dough to 55g each and shape into small balls.
5. Let them rest for 10 minutes.
6. Ready to be shaped. Let rise until almost doubled in volume.
7. Before baking, brush the dough with egg wash.
8. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes in a preheated oven at 200 C, or until the bread is golden in color.
9. Once out of the oven, brush with a bit of margarine.
10. Let cool. Keep in an airtight container.
