It seems like a month I have used my bread maker. All along I hope to try out the garlic bun and today I have the mood. Funny, right? I need to have the mood inorder to bake cookies or bread. Otherwise, the output is very terrible. The recipe is from Happy Home Baking Blog. I like to read her blog as it is easy to follow and she has done a lot baking in cakes, cookies and bread too. Look at my garlic bun, I didn’t use egg wash as I didn’t want to waste the egg white. No chance to eat my garlic bun. Both my boys eat 4 buns, my hubby and my mom. They say nice to eat. However, it seems not soft as what is sold in the bakery shop.
Ingredients :-
150g bread flour
50g cake flour
15g caster sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp instant yeast
130g milk
15g unsalted butter
Filling :-
30g butter, soften room temperature
2 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
1 tsp dried parsely
Method :-
-
Place all ingredients except the butter in the pan of the bread machine. Select the Dough function of the bread machine and press start. After about 8 min of kneading, add in the 15g of butter. Let the machine continue to knead the dough. After the kneading cycle has stopped (20 mins), Stop and Restart the machine. Continue to let the machine knead for another 10 mins. My machine unable to continue so I use hand to knead for 10 min.
-
Stop the machine and remove the dough from the bread pan. Shape the dough into a smooth round and place in a mixing bowl, cover with cling wrap and let it rise till double in volume for abouth 80 mins.
-
Remove the dough and give a few light kneading on a lightly floured work surface. Press out the trapped air as you knead. Divide into 6 equal portions and shape into balls. Cover with cling wrap, let the doughs rest for 15 mins.
-
Flatten each dough into a round disc. Roll up Swiss roll style and pinch the seams in place. Roll the dough on work surface to shape it into a longish oval shape.
-
Place doughs seams side down on a baking tray, lined with parchment paper. Loosely cover with damp cloth or cling wrap and let dough proof for 30 mins.
-
Prepare the filling by mixing butter, garlic and parsley to form a smooth paste.
-
Brush each dough with egg wash. With a sharp knife, make a slit lengthwise on each dough. Pipe fillings on each slit.
-
Bake at preheated oven at 175 deg C for about 15 mins. Remove from the oven and let cool on wire rack.
