Ingredients

  • 240 grams Bread (strong) flour
  • 60 grams Cake flour
  • 15 grams Sugar
  • 5 grams Salt
  • 6 grams Dry yeast
  • 195 ml Water
  • 20 grams Shortening or margarine

Method

  • Using all the ingredients, knead into dough either by hand or using a bread machine and allow it to rise.
  • Punch down to remove the trapped air, and divide the dough into 8 portions.
  • Roll the dough into balls making sure that the surface is smooth and tight.
  • Let it rest for 20 minutes.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth so the surface does not dry out.
  • Place your palm on the dough, gradually push it down from the top to flatten it into round shapes that are around 1 cm thick.
  • Push down on the dough by moving your palm in a clockwise circular motion.
  • This will help make nice, evenly round shapes.
  • Once the dough resembles the shapes in the photo, allow it to rise again in a warm place (20 minutes).
  • If air bubbles are formed at the edge of the dough, pinch the air out by pressing with your fingers.
  • Once the dough rises up to be fluffy like the ones shown here, bake 15 minutes in a 180C oven
  • I put in my childs favorite dish, tonkatsu with sauce and mayonnaise in the bun.
