GOLDEN PULL APART BUTTER BUN

There is nothing more satisfying  for me  than making a successful batch of bread. Once you start to get the feel of making bread, you are addicted.

If you are new to bread-making, this is really good recipe to start with. It produces beautiful and fluffy bread though it takes more than 3 hours to bake them.

If you want to use active dry yeast increase the amount  to 1 1/4 teaspoon and mix the yeast with 1/3 cup of warm water. Let it proof for 5-10 minutes before you add it to the flour.

GOLDEN PULL APART BUTTER BUN
Adapted from King Arthur Flour

1 and 3/4  cup  all purpose flour
1 tsp instant yeast
1 and 1/2  tablespoon  dry milk (milk powder)
2  tablespoon   soft butter
1/4  cup   warm milk
1/3  cup  warm water
1  tablespoon   sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1-2  tablespoon  all purpose flour if needed

METHOD

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix and knead using hand, stand mixer of bread maker, to make a soft and smooth dough. If too sticky add 1-2 TB of flour.

Transfer onto floured board,  knead for 10 minutes. Place onto greased and covered bowl, let rise until doubled for 1-1 and 1/2 hours.

Gently deflate the dough, divide into 8. Round each piece into smooth ball.

Place balls into greased 8 in round pan. Cover and let rise 60-90 minutes until puffy. Towards the end of rising time, preheat oven @ 180 C.

Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and brush with melted butter.

Cool on rack.
