Just wondering why the topping will not melt and being absorbed by the bun nei?<br /><br />Please advise ^.^D4Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11622615517840180676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30137456.post-26473933917353625582008-11-08T17:11:00.000+08:002008-11-08T17:11:00.000+08:00Hi anonymous,either way is acceptable.rgdsHi anonymous,<BR/><BR/>either way is acceptable.<BR/><BR/>rgdsAunty Yochanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07265525349059979821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30137456.post-72670851797471697252008-11-08T12:08:00.000+08:002008-11-08T12:08:00.000+08:00For the butter that you add to the bread dough, i...For the butter that you add to the bread dough, is that melted butter or just softened butter?

The result wasnt too bad just that i'm not sure abt certain steps in between. after mixing in all the ingredients (except butter) I got a real big sticky gooey mess. I went on and tried adding the butter which was quite a tiring job trying to incorporate the butter into the sticky dough. after which i really couldnt roll it into a ball to prove so i jus floured a clean surface and knead it for a while with quiite abit of flour till it wasnt too sticky to handle and proved the dough. (not sure if this changed the texture or taste of the bread as my sister commented that there was a funny aftertase).After proofing, i kneaded it for a while more before shaping them into balls of 60g each. i read somewhere that some people punch down the dough after the first proofing. Is it neccessary here? or do we jus take the proofed dough and divide them straight away?<BR/><BR/>I too had the problem of the topping being wet. I tried with some batch by baking it longer, but the topping became very hard after it cooled. Do you have any idea wat might have happened? Also, there wasn't a very strong coffee taste. Was i on the right track?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for you advise. =)<BR/><BR/>youfe(:You Feihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13022989019072775191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30137456.post-22723703844761683792008-08-05T13:20:00.000+08:002008-08-05T13:20:00.000+08:00Hi anonymous,If you can't find coffee paste in Dub...Hi anonymous,<BR/><BR/>If you can't find coffee paste in Dubai, just use nescafe with hot water will do.<BR/><BR/>rgdsAunty Yochanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07265525349059979821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30137456.post-77212920065945641092008-08-05T04:35:00.000+08:002008-08-05T04:35:00.000+08:00Hi aunty,The coffee buns look really good.
