Comments
about the bread recipe: i bought the "Agnes Change I can bake" from Popular KL and follow the recipe but I also buy the bread maker to help me do the bread dough so i dun have to stand in the kitchen for 1 hour just to knead the dough.
for basic sweet dough bun:
A:
400g High protein flour
100g low protein flour
1 tsp bread improver (optional)
10g milk powder
1tsp salt
1tbsp instant yeast
100g castor sugar
1 egg
220ml water
B:
75g butter
-put all ingredients A into a bowl and mix into a smooth dough
-Add B and continue to kead until gluten has developed and it can be stretched into a very thin layer.
-Cover with a piece of damp cloth and leave to rise until it doubles in bulk.
-Punch down and knead again until smooth
-Divide into desired portions and shape into balls
-Cover with damp cloth and rest for 10-15 minutes before forming into different shapes. Different fillings may be used
