Snow White Buns


Baked this snowy white buns for the first time. My daughter questioned me whether the bread have been thoroughly baked. Yes, it's cooked! :)

The buns were baked at 150 degree Celsius for 20 minutes. The outer layer formed a soft skin, while the interior is cottony soft. It's good to eat it plain with a cup of hot coffee :)

Recipe:
270g bread flour
30g rice flour
1/2 tsp instant dry yeast
25g sugar
1/4 tsp salt
200g water
30g unsalted butter, soften
Some bread flour for sprinkling 

1. Mix item 1 to 6 into a ball. Add the last 30g of water, a little at a time, to the dough. Mix using speed 1 of Bosch hand mixer MFQ4020 for 1 minute.

2. Add the softened butter to the dough using hands. The hand mixer will cause the butter to splatter.

3. When the butter has well incorporated to the dough, return the dough to the mixing bowl. Knead the dough using the mixer set at speed 5 for about 3 minutes.

4. Proof the dough in a greased bowl. Spray the dough with light mist, cover with a lid and allow it to proof for 1 hour.

5. Transfer the dough to a work top sprinkle with a thin layer of flour. Punch down the dough to release the air.

6. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions. Shape into a ball and place in a baking sheet.

7. Spray a thin mist of water over the dough and send the dough on a baking sheet into the oven to do the final proofing. Turn on the oven at 50 degree Celsius for 1 minute. Proof for 1 hour.

8. At the end of proofing, remove the dough from the oven. Preheat the oven to 150 degree Celsius for 10 minutes. While waiting, sprinkle some bread flour over the buns. Bake the buns for about 20 minutes.

9. Allow the buns to cool down before serving. Enjoy :)
