Japanese buns Hokkaido

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make Japanese Hokkaido buns? First prepare the custard dough. To do this, mix cold milk and flour in a saucepan. Put the saucepan on a small fire. With constant stirring, boil the mixture until it thickens. This will happen pretty quickly. Immediately remove the dishes from the heat.

2. Step 2:

   

   The dough turns out to be similar to a thick jelly or pudding. Cover it immediately with a film in contact and put it away for an hour in the cold. This step is mandatory. The custard dough can be made in advance of the day and left in the refrigerator. It makes it even better.

3. Step 3:

   

   While the dough is cooling, make a sourdough. How to make sourdough? Warm milk (temperature 37-38 degrees) mix with sugar and yeast, mix. Leave the mixture for 15 minutes until a frothy yeast cap rises from above — this means that the yeast is active.

4. Step 4:

   

   Mix the sifted flour with salt. It is important to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. Then the baking will turn out to be airy and will rise well when baking. Add the egg, sourdough and custard cooled dough. Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.

5. Step 5:

   

   Next, it is better to knead the dough in a mixer. If you have, then do it at a slow speed of 5 minutes. Knead with your hands for 10 minutes. After 5 minutes of kneading, add the melted butter and knead the dough for another 5 minutes.

6. Step 6:

   

   This is how elastic the dough turns out. Soft, homogeneous. Put it in a proofing bowl for 1.5 hours.

7. Step 7:

   

   I do it in a slow cooker, in the Multi-cooker mode at 35 degrees, 1.5 hours. I lubricate the cup with vegetable oil.

8. Step 8:

   

   After the prescribed time, the dough will grow in volume. Take it out and immediately mash it on the table with your hands.

10. Step 9:

    

    Make a cake like this from the dough and divide it into 8 parts. Roll each part into a bun.

11. Step 10:

    

    For the filling, mix brown sugar and cinnamon.

12. Step 11:

    

    Take a bun and roll it into a layer. Brush it with melted butter. And sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

13. Step 12:

    

    Fold the edges of the tortilla on both sides.

14. Step 13:

    

    Next, roll the blank roll into a bun. The edges can be pinched. Spread the resulting buns on a baking sheet covered with baking paper.

15. Step 14:

    

    These are the buns you get. Leave them to proofing for an hour, covered with a film.

16. Step 15:

    

    Then lubricate them with beaten egg. Place in a preheated 190 degree oven for 20 minutes.

17. Step 16:

    

    Remove the finished buns from the oven, cool slightly and serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!
