Portuguese Buns

Profile picture for user GlennM

I have been wanting to try these for a while, we live in an area where there are many Portuguese bakeries and these are a big hit 

Simple enough to make:

520 gr bread flour

120 gr warm milk

180 gr warm water

35 gr butter

7 gr yeast

teaspoon of sugar

add the yeast to the water, milk and sugar (let proof for 10 min)

put the flour and salt in mixer bowl with the butter

add the yeast mixture and run the mixer on low for 2 min, crank up the speed a couple of notches and knead for 5-7 min until you get a nice smooth dough
