I am always on the lookout for buns recipe that won't get hard after a day or two, and I think this recipe does the job. This recipe from one of the TNN forummer JandC, pictures and tips credit to her as well. Many thanks




Wholemeal recipe:

400mls hot water ( I used room temp)
1T sugar
1t salt
1.5T oil
650g flour (mixture of white and wholemeal)
3t yeast





White bun recipe:

290mls hot water (I used room temp)
1T sugar
1t salt
1T oil
520g flour
3t yeast




Put everything on the dough cycle, but to make the buns really soft, the tip is to knead to dough twice, so after the 1st cycle of kneading has completed, switch off the cycle and restart it again (or in my case, I program my BM, increasing the kneading time to the max time allowed ( 6 mins for 1st knead, 30 mins for 2nd knead)



Baked for 10-15mins (180c) Don't overbaked or it'll turn hard like mine!!
Make about 12 decent sized buns, or scrolls



Variations:

Add linseed, sunflower, almonds mixture for more fibre ( approx 2T)
Add dried fruits for fruit buns (approx 1cup)
Add cocoa powder + fruit
Can try other flavourings as well -pandan, orange etc (substitute water with milk, lagi sedap)
Filling for scrolls/buns:
-cheese & marmite
-cheese & pineapple
-maple & pecan
-Tuna, mayo sweetcorn
-Inti daging
-Sambal tumis
-etc etc
