Mini Sausage Buns

Made sausage buns today~

I knead the dough for 1 hour and again, my hard labour was paid off when the bun come off soft and nice. XD

I don't know whether it will still stay soft tomorrow cause my family polished them up as soon as it was out of the oven. -.-"

i gotta do something about my dough twisting skill. They look like somewhere around fat caterpillar, croissant or seashell....

I used the sweet bun recipe from Zu.

This can make 12 mini sausage buns.

Ingredients:

(A)
250g bread flour
50g sugar
1/2 tsp salt
15g milk powder
2 tsp instant dry yeast

(B)
100-120 ml water
27g egg (egg can be omitted if choose to use cream cheese)

(C)
20g butter
20g shorterning/ cream cheese

6 Sausages (cut each into half)
sesames (optional)

Methods:

1. Mix (A)
2. Add (B) into (A) & knead till smooth

3. Add (C) & continue to knead till smooth and shiny until the dough does not stick to your hand. (i knead for about 1 hr here). If dough can be stretch into thin layer without tearing, means its fully developed.
4. Cover the dough with damp cloth or cling wrap & leave to prove for 60 mins or double in volume.
5. Punch down to let the air out.
6. Divide dough into 12 & leave to rest for 10 mins.
7. Roll each dough into long strip and twist them around each sausage.
8. Arrange them onto greased tray & rest for another 45 mins to 1 hour.
9. Brush with egg wash & sprinkle sesames on top.
10. Bake for about 15 - 20 mins in preheated oven at 190 degree c.
11. Remove from pan and cool.

Enjoy~
