Makes 9 buns
A. ingredients
150g bread flour
3 tbsp sugar
1.5 tsp instant dry yeast
1.5 tsp milk powder
160ml warm milk (about 35-40C)
B. ingredients
150g bread flour
37g unsalted butter
3/4 tsp salt
Method
1. Mix all A. ingredients in a bowl. Then add in all the B. ingredients and mix until it has mostly come together.
2. Spoon contents of the bowl onto your work top. and hand knead the dough for around 10 minutes, until it is smooth and springy and no longer sticks to your hands.
3. Shape into a ball and place back into the bowl. Cover with cling film and let it prove in a warm place for about 40mins (first fermentation) until the dough doubles in size.
4. Do the finger test on the bread dough. Punch out the excess air and remove from the bowl.
5. Divide into 10 equal pieces. Cover and let it rest for 10mins (bench time).
6. Flatten and then shape into a ball. Place them on a lightly buttered square tin. Repeat for the remaining 8 pieces. Position them 3 by 3 in the tin (like in the photo above). Cover with cling film while you continue to work on the last bit of bread dough.
7. Shape the last bit of dough into little paws, ears and one tail.
8. Place the small parts on the bread balls in the tin. Brush on the egg wash with a small brush. Cover and let the bread balls rest for about 30 mins.
9. Preheat the oven to 180C. Bake the bread for around 12 mins. When they start to brown, you might wish to cover gently with a sheet of foil to keep the buns light and prevent them from browning too much.
10. Remove from oven and let them rest for a 5 minutes before removing the bread from the tin.
11. Draw the puppy face and paw marks using an edible pen.
