INGREDIENTS 750 g Flour 5 g Salt 4 g Yeast 370 g Lukewarm Water 70 g Soft Unsalted Butter Alkaline Solution: More Water + Baking soda INSTRUCTIONS Mix flour, salt, and yeast Add water and butter Knead for 15 minutes (I don’t have a stand mixer so by hand). Add flour if it’s too sticky, a little water if it’s crumbly. You’ll feel the dough push back against you as the gluten develops Plastic wrap and rest for 1 hour, until doubled Divide into 100 gram lumps, makes about 14. Form into little round balls, seam side down Time for our double rise. I let it rest on the baking sheet on parchment paper. Let it rest again for 30 minutes. Cover with a towel Preheat oven to 220*C/ 450*F Alkaline Solution: For every 10 oz of water, add a tablespoon of baking soda. 10 oz is a generous cup so like 3-4 cups of water, 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda. Boil When the 30 minutes are up, drop 2 buns into the alkaline water at a time. I used a spider 30 seconds on one side, and then flip. I sang happy birthday to each side. They should float Pull it out and put them back on the parchment paper. They’ll form a little leathery skin When they’re all done, cut little x’s on top and add flaky salt Bake for 15 minutes submitted by /u/Doryhotcheeto [link] [comments]
