- 125 grams Bread flour
- 125 grams All purpose flour
- 30 grams Sugar
- 20 grams Trehalose
- 3 Egg yolk
- 80 grams Unsalted butter
- 30 ml Heavy cream
- 1 enough to make 160 ml when combined with egg yolk and cream Water
- 4 grams Salt
- 4 grams Instant dry yeast
- 1 to glaze Beaten egg
- Beat the egg yolk well and mix with the cream and water.
- Put all of the ingredients except for the butter in the bread maker and set it to the bread kneading course.
- Place the yeast according to the manufacturers instructions.
- Add 1/3 of the butter 3 minutes after starting the course, then another 1/3 after a further 3 minutes and then the last 1/3 after another 3 minutes.
- Leave everything in the bread maker until it's finished proofing.
- Once proofed, take out the dough, and punch it down to get rid of the gas.
- Use a scraper to divide the dough into 12, moulding them into rounds.
- Each round should weigh around 45 g.
- The butter can cause things to get a bit sticky so feel free to give the dough a dusting of flour if it needs it.
- Place the dough seam-side down and cover with a slightly damp cloth for 10 minutes.
- Once the 10 minutes is up, turn each piece of dough seam up, press down and re-form into balls.
- Make a lump of the top by pressing down the top 1/4 of the dough with your little finger and rolling.
- Make the lump quite narrow and put the dough into aluminium cups.
- Push the lump down gently to flatten a little.
- The butter will begin to melt here, so do this step as quickly as possible.
- Proof for a second time in the oven for 35 - 45 minutes at 35C.
- When the dough has expanded 1.5x the original size it's ready.
- The picture shows the dough after the second proofing.
- Once proved, preheat the oven to 200C.
- whilst the oven is heating up, glaze the dough with a mixture of water and beaten egg.
- Bake for 12 minutes at 200C.
- Please adjust the cooking time according to your oven.
- Once a nice golden colour, they're ready.
- This is how they look inside when baked.
- The inside is really chewy, and a nice yellow color, and the smell is fantastic.
