Back to basics, and back to sandwiches today. This is a recipe for very regular and round white buns.
Ingredients: 320g white flour, 1 full teaspoon dry yeast, 1 teaspoon soft butter, 1 spoon sunflower oil, 1 teaspoon honey, 200ml warm water, 1 teaspoon salt (no pepper this time).
Directions: Pour the water into a large bowl, and add the yeast, honey, butter and salt. Lastly, mix in the flour, make sure not lumps form. Kneed the dough until elastic on a flat surface, and continue the process using the vegetable oil for 3 more minutes.
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel for an hour and let rise. Once it doubles its size, divide it into 5-10 buns, and sit them into a muffin pan, or simply place them equally apart on a flat baking tray. Cover once again with a kitchen towel.
After one hour, the buns should have again doubled size and become plump. With a kitchen brush, coat them with a thin layer of sunflower oil over the top.
Set the oven to 210’C, and bake for 15-18 minutes (depending on size) or until brown and dry.
Let them cool.
Very sandwichable too.
