Cookd masalas for butter
Method
In lukewarm milk, add the sugar and yeast and allow it to bloom for 10 mins.
Add the milk to the maida and mix well until it comes together.
Add the butter and bring together a rough dough.
Cover and rest the dough for 10 mins.
Pull and stretch the dough 15 times, fold up after each stretch. Try to ensure the stretching is even throughout the dough. Knead until the surface of the dough is smooth.
Roll the dough into a ball and place in a bowl, in a warm place, covered and oiled for an hour.
After resting, lightly press down the dough. Divide the dough into roundels.
Place on a baking tray, cover and rest for 20 mins.
Brush with milk and bake for 30 mins at 180C until golden brown and fluffy.
Brush with oil and allow the bread to cool down completely.
For the buttercream, whisk soft butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla essence and milk and mix well until combined.
To assemble the bread butter jam, slice the bun in half and add the butter on one side and jam on the other side. Close the sides to sandwich and cut into 2 or 4 pieces if needed, it can also be whole.
