Comment préparer Kittencal's Sub Sandwich Buns
- Prepare a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with a dough hook.
- Add 3 1/2 cups (455g) all-purpose flour to the mixer bowl.
- Melt 1/2 cup (113g) shortening in the microwave.
- Add the melted shortening to the flour in the bowl.
- In a separate measuring cup, combine 1 cup (240ml) milk, 4 tablespoons (50g) granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon (5g) salt.
- Heat the milk mixture in the microwave until warm (around 105-115°F), stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt.
- Pour the warm milk mixture into the bowl with the flour and shortening.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel to keep the ingredients warm.
- In a small bowl, proof 2 1/4 teaspoons (7g) active dry yeast in 3/4 cup (177ml) warm water (105-115°F) with 1 teaspoon (4g) sugar for 8-10 minutes, or until foamy.
- Add the proofed yeast mixture to the mixer bowl. Knead with the dough hook for 3-4 minutes, then gradually add more flour (about 1/2 cup at a time) until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Continue kneading for another 8 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Lightly flour a clean work surface.
- Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and let it rest, covered with a clean kitchen towel, for 5-10 minutes.
- Grease a large bowl with cooking spray or oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 50-60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Gently punch down the dough.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a large ball.
- Let the dough balls rest for about 4 minutes.
- Shape each dough ball into a long oval, approximately 8 inches in length (adjust according to desired bun size).
- Sprinkle a large baking sheet with cornmeal or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Place the shaped dough pieces onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Cover the baking sheet loosely with plastic wrap and let the buns rise for another 25 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the buns are a deep golden brown.
- (Optional) For an extra glossy finish: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg white and 1 teaspoon of cold water. Brush the mixture over the buns before baking. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
