INGREDIENTS for 8 Pieces

250g Bread Flour
14g (2 tsp) Honey
3g (1/2 tsp) Salt
3g (1 tsp) Dry Yeast
15g Butter (Room temperature)
75ml Milk (Lukewarm around 35°C/95°F)
90ml Lukewarm Water (around 35°C/95°F)

INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the bread dough with above ingredients following the “Basic Bread” https://crew-explorer.com/basic-bread-baking-guide/ instructions until dividing the dough into 8 equal size balls
Spray a bit of water and cover with plastic wrap. Let them rest around 15 min
After resting the dough, form the dough as shown below
Place the seam side up and press with your hand to make a flat round shape
Then press gently with your finger tips to get rid of the excessive air and re-form the shape nicely so the surface is smoother and the seam is closed tightly
Put some flour on the chopstick to avoid sticking to the dough
Press middle of the round shaped dough with the chopstick quite hard until the bottom
After lifting up the chopstick, the shape will look like big lipsticks

Place them on the Baking Tray lined with Cooking Liner/Baking Paper
Spray a bit of water again and cover with plastic wrap/big container, then Proof the dough until they become about twice the size (Around 30-40 min)
Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) around 10min before the Proofing is finished
Sprinkle bit of flour on the formed dough using the Strainer (To prevent getting golden colour while baking!)

Lower the oven temperature to 150°C (302°F) and bake 12-13min (Make sure not to get the golden colour on the surface!)
Place the Baking tray into the oven and bake for 12-13 min
After the bread is ready, cool the bread on the cooling rack
