I bought a recipe on bread making. It looks quite easy to make, but I didn’t know the kneading part is so so so tough and time consuming. I don’t have a bread maker, unlike what described in the book I spent so much time preparing the basic sweet dough. I will give this bread making a stop, until I get myself a machine. Imagine, I did this from 5pm and ended post midnight!! I got myself a set of Oreo Biscuit Honey Bun, some dried Crab Meat Buns, and chocolate loafs. The chocolate loafs and crab meat buns are not very successful so I’m not going to share the recipe until I get it right.

Basic Sweet Bun Dough
[Note: The measurement here, yields a LOT, which I think can make 6 batches of this Oreo Biscuit Bun]
INGREDIENT
400g High protein flour
100g Low protein flour
50g sugar
1 tsp salt
13g instant yeast
100g butter
25g milk powder
90g fresh cream (unwhipped)
50g condensed milk (cold)
1 large egg
170g cold water

METHOD
1. Add all ingredient except water into bread maker or mixer (with dough hook). Mix well. Slow the spped and add in water slowly, beat for a min.
2. Change mixer speed to medium for app 10-12 min, or until the dough is elastic. (if use hand to knead, you might end up kneading hours like me!!)
3. Cover dough with wet cloth or cling wrap for 10 min.
4. Place dough on table, stretch it and fold over, cover with big bowl and rest for another 10 min.
5. Dough is ready for whatever bread you want to turn into. Refer to below for Oreo Biscuit Honey Bun.
