Baked Buns Recipe

I've always loved these baked buns filled with stuff. In Indonesia, judged from the Bakery names, they were introduced bu the Dutch. Don't quote me on that though! But look, Netherland Bakery, Holland Bakery, etc. These were before BreadTalk and BreadLife time. I still like Holland Bakery better anyway.

Everywhere else, though, it seems like they were called Chinese Buns, but filled with different stuff. Instead of Chocolate, Banana, Cheese, Beef, or Wiener filled, they would be BBQ Pork, Curry, Pineapple, or Custard filled. To me, the dough are the same, though.

So I got a recipe from my Aunt who used to own a bakery. She even had durian filled ones!




What you need:

  • 500 gr. High gluten flour (bread flour)
  • 6 tbsp sugar
  • 1 pack (11 gr) instant yeast
  • 7 Egg yolks
  • 200 ml warm water
  • 200 gr. Margarine
  • Fillings (ham, wieners, grated cheese, chocolate chips, etc.)
  • 1 egg for brushing

The How To:

  • Mix flour, sugar, yeast, and egg yolks
  • Slowly add warm water and mix well
  • Knead in Margarine, or in my case, use the KitchenAid
  • Knead well, cover bowl, and let rise for an hour
  • Punch the dough down, and knead again
  • Shape them to balls, and put fillings in if desired. Let them sit to rise some more.
  • Brush the top of the buns with beaten egg (optional)
  • Preheat oven to 250 Celcius
  • Turn dial down to 150 Celcius and bake for approx 22 minutes.
Tips:

  • Use the hook attachment with your KitchenAid, no kneading by hand would be necessary. I just used the hook right from the beginning.
  • This recipe fits a KitchenAid Bowl perfectly, I just used the bowl's lid while it was rising.
  • Brushing the top of the buns will prevent them from drying out too quickly.
  • You can shape them to anything you want. If you place them close together, they will rise and stick to each other (which can work to your advantage in shaping them). Look at the picture.
  • Enjoy!

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Japan Trip June 2016 - Part 9 - Osaka

It was a super hot and bright morning and we were all packed and ready to ride the train to Osaka. We had no excuse to take a taxi so we walked to Kyoto Station... It was a rather short ride considering we moved cities, it was still around noon when we arrived at Osaka Station. The AirBnb property I had booked looked close to the station on the map, but it was further than expected. We were so sweaty by the time we got there, mostly because of our backpacks and our suitcases! I was very impressed Miss Kiki carried her backpack without complaints even though it was pretty stuffed by then. Taken from Osaka Station We had to change our wet and sticky clothes upon arrival, and after a bit of rest we decided to head out. First to Tenjimbashisuji Shopping Street listed on a tourist guide just over 1 km away. It was so hot and sunny I regretted not taking a hat for any of us. I was lucky I hadn't forgotten to bring my sunglasses. When we got there, we real...
