Sip on a hot cup of chai and indulge in a sweet bun to experience the perfect combination of warmth, comfort, and sweetness during the rainy season.
220g Milk 20g Sugar (to add in milk) 7g Active dry yeast 350g All-purpose Flour (maida) 8g Gluten powder (optional) 5g Salt 45g Softened Butter 30g Sugar (to add in flour) 15g Milk powder 40-50g Tutti fruity /sultanas
For the honey butter, mix 60g salted butter with 20g honey.
Mix lukewarm milk and sugar, mix. Add yeast, mix and let sit for 5mins.
In a large bowl, add flour, gluten powder, salt, sugar and milk powder. Mix to combine. Add bloomed yeast mix and incorporate.
Now add softened butter, knead until the dough is soft (about 10-15mins). Fold in the tooty fruity, cover the dough with cling wrap until it doubles in size (1hr to 1hr 30mins)
Deflate dough and shape into 90g balls each. Let them sit on a greased baking tray until it doubles in size (45mins-1hr). Meanwhile you can preheat oven to 180*C, brush the bums with honey butter and bake for 18 minutes.
Brush buns with more honey butter right out of the oven. Let them cool, then smear butter and enjoy with chai!
