Ingredients (A)
200g bread flour
100g plain flour
40g brown sugar
½ sachet instant yeast (1 sachet 11g)
1 tsp bread improver
1 tbsp milk powder
1 tbsp soy flour
4 tbsp wholemeal flour
Ingredients (B)
180ml chilled water
1 egg (lightly beaten, I add to the water)
Ingredients (C)
50ml corn oil
a pinch salt
50g walnuts (chopped coarsely)
Topping
5 tbsp pumpkin kernels
2 tbsp sunflower kernels
1 ½ tsp black sesame
1 ½ tsp white sesame
some water
some butter to grease the pan
some flour to dust
Method
Mix (A) with spatula in the mixing bowl. Use dough hook for mixer. Turn on mixer (speed 1) and (B) gradually. Beat for about 5 mins at speed 3. Rest the machine for 5 mins. Meantime, knead the dough in the bowl (wear plastic gloves). Turn the machine (speed 3) on for about 3 minutes. Rest machine again while you add corn oil. Use the spatula to incorporate most of the oil into the dough (or else the oil will splatter when you turn on the mixer, personal experience). Turn on the mixer (speed 3) and add salt. Beat for another 5 minutes, just before you end, add in the chopped walnuts. Do stretch test by pinching the dough. It should be able to form a thin membrane before breaking.
Cover the bowl with cling wrap and leave in a warm place for first proving for about an hour. Meantime, grease the pan. To check if first proving is complete, put some flour on your finger and press into the dough. The hole should hold its shape. Take out the dough and transfer to a slightly floured surface. The dough should weight about 650g. Divide into 12 portions, each estimated about 54~55g, shape into a ball.
Mix all the seeds together in a plate. Dab surface of the dough with some water, roll that surface on the seeds. Place them on the greased pan and cover with cling wrap. Let it rise for another hour. Bake them at 175 degrees C for 20 minutes.
Extra points to note : I came across recipes advising punching the dough down to release air. I did, but I realised I was wrong when I watched the bread making process on Youtube. So don't take the word 'punch' literally like me.. ahahaha..
When you take out the dough from the bowl and when you roll them into balls is enough to release the air.

Hi
ReplyDeleteI have been looking to make this breadtalk sunflower seeds bun. May I know if I can skip bread improver? As I don't have this ingredient. Also can I make this using bread maker?
