How to Make Alex Goh's Basic Sweet Bun Dough
- In a large bowl, combine 500g bread flour, 50g strong bread flour, 30g milk powder, 7g active dry yeast, and 70g granulated sugar.
- Add 1 large egg and 100ml cold water. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Incorporate 50g softened unsalted butter and 5g salt. Knead the dough thoroughly for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. (The dough will initially feel greasy, but continue kneading—it will come together!)
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
- Gently punch down the dough and divide it into 50-60g portions.
- Shape each portion into a ball, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Roll out each dough ball and add your favorite filling. (Sweet red bean paste, custard, chocolate, etc. are all delicious options!)
- Shape the filled buns as desired (e.g., round, swirl).
- Place the shaped buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let them proof for another 50-60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Brush the buns with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp milk) or milk for a less brown crust.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Immediately after baking, brush the buns with melted butter and cover with a clean tea towel to keep them soft.
