Actually i just shape my dough like a flower pattern ,ha.
Ingredients: 6buns (You can double the recipe to make 12 buns)
2cup All purpose flour
14g Active dried yeast
37g Sugar
1/2tsp Salt
1/2cup Milk
37g Unsalted butter
1.5or2 Egg york
1) Warm up the milk and butter to 37- 40C (you can heat it up with a sauce pan or microwave).
2) Sprinkle the yeast on top of the milk mixture and set it aside for 5-10 mins.
3) Add the flour, sugar, salt and egg york in a big mixing bowl then pour in the milk mixture and whisk the mixture until they are combined,then use a stand mixer with dough hook knead it at medium speed for at least 10mins(or you can knead it by hand , but that's a really hard job! )
4) Shape it into a ball then let it rise at room temperature for 1 hour(in summer,winter may takes 2 hours.)
5) Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces and shape them into balls or any shape that u like,let the rise for another 40-45 mins.
6) Bake at 190C for 15-25mins.
I knead 10 mins with the stand mixer and 20-30 mins by hand! why? Because the more time you knead the dough the dough will be more elastic.The perfect way is knead until u pull a little bit of dough spread it out u can see the light though.But they cames out great with 10mins by stand mixer also.Dont worry=)
