Method

  • step 1

    Put the milk, butter and 100ml water in a pan and gently heat until the butter is melted. Set aside to cool until just warm.

  • step 2

    Tip the flour, sugar, yeast and 1 tsp salt into a large bowl and gradually work in the milk mixture, then the egg, until you have a smooth dough. Tip the dough onto a floured surface or into a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and knead until elastic and shiny. Divide into 12 (about 80g each) pieces and roll into tight balls. Transfer to baking trays lined with baking parchment, leaving plenty of space between them, and put in a warm place to prove for 30-45 mins.

  • step 3

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Press the rolls down gently using your hands, then brush over some milk and scatter over the sesame seeds, if you like (or, dust with some flour). Bake for 10-12 mins until risen and lightly golden. Leave to cool completely, then serve. Make up to two days ahead and keep in an airtight container.

can someone from Good Food at the water to the ingredients list rather than it being in the method section.

Makes 8 good size buns. I didn't use the sugar but added 2tsp honey to the pan, worked perfectly. Good recipe.

Sorry to say that I don’t find this the best! No way it makes 12? And far too sweet

question

Can I use bread flour and different types of milk (e.g skimmed, almond)?

alexem82

In recipes, whenever there is milk it's always WHOLE. Skimmed milk is basically whole milk with water (it isn't, but has the same consistency).

For this recipe, only whole cow milk.

If you substitute for almond it's not the same and you have to vary quantity (look for vegan recipes if you don't…
