PREPARE THE DOUGH

  1. Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl except for the butter. Mix 3 mins on low speed and 6 mins on high.
  2. Add the butter into the mixture. Mix 2 mins on slow and 2 mins on fast.
  3. Round up the dough and leave in a covered bowl to rest for 30 mins at room temperature of 26 – 30°C.
  4. Divide the dough into 30 x 60g pieces. Mould each piece into round balls.
  5. Place each piece of rounded dough at least 2 inches apart from each other, on a tray lined with baking sheet.
  6. First fermentation: Cover the dough and leave it to rest for 30 mins at room temperature of 26 – 30°C.

SHAPING

  1. Roll each piece of dough into long strings of approximately 30cm in length.
  2. Take a piece of hotdog and wrap a dough strip around it like a spiral.
  3. Make sure the ends are tucked in and are not left loose.
  4. Place each piece evenly spaced on a flat baking tray lined with baking sheet.
  5. Cover the tray with cling wrap or cloth for about 120 mins at room temperature of 26 – 30°C (it should double in size).
  6. Brush each bun with egg wash.

BAKING
