Buns (The German Way)
- -17.5 ounces bread flour (roughly, as mentioned)
- -10 ounces of water or milk
- -0.35 ounces salt
- -0.7 ounces sugar
- -0.35 ounces marg or lard
- -0.7 ounces fresh yeast (alternativley use the same amount of dried yeast)
- First of all, this takes a while...particularly if you use fresh yeast.
- gauge 10 ounces of luke warm milk or water. (I prefer water). add the yeast and sugar. stir until everything is mixed. put half of the flour (about 8.8 ounces)into a bowl. pour the solved yeast over the flour. knead a nice dough. cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rest for at least 1 hour. After it has rest add the remaining ingredients. kneat it until you have a smooth result. line a baking sheet with bakingpaper. form even balls that weigh about 3 ounces. place them on the prepared baking sheet. after you have formed your buns, cover the whole baking sheet with plastic foil. let the buns rest for 40 minutes (they should,at least, redouble their volume) preheat the oven to 392u0b0F. When the buns have redoubled their volume, cut he surface in the middle. spray the buns with cold water. sprinkle with some topics of your choice (sesame, poppyseed,roasted pumpkin seeds). Put them into the oven. Bake the buns for 15 to 20 minutes. they hit the spot when you eat them with cold butter, directly after they have cooled down.
