Butter Buns

Finally !!  Bakery gonna close shop for a while. I feel I successfully made the buns :)  using PLAIN FLOUR🍞

- key notes : don't wait for oven to preheat. Jitao masuk. Due to my oven temperature using fan forced 170c 15 mins. 

- when knead , need to check the yeast get really binded well. 

- due to weather cold, need to wait to it really poof double size. Not by the 1hour mark 

- milk wash really cannot a lot. Really need to control hand strength. 

- milk room temp ... Next time will  try with warm milk 

- 250g yield 490g. Divide by 9. Approx 54g satu  Somehow I think I need to activate yeast next time first , combine with the ingridieents then masuk machines knead be better. Next experiment when yeast  and bread flour is more conveniently available ☺️

Piano it is! Went searching for private piano teacher and piano school. Decided to go for piano school as want to be sure she is really serious and before investing on a 88key piano (as private teachers want to teach on 88key piano) as decided to get a 61key for now.
