Sleeping Doggy Bread Bun

It's been a while since I last updated a recipe. I do have a few waiting to be updated, but they take longer to update than my usual blog post, so I'm awfully slow in getting them done. But rest assured that I do see your requests for the recipes, and I will definitely get them updated eventually, just that I can't guarantee exactly when.

For today, I will be updating the recipe for these sleeping sausage doggy bread buns. The original idea is from Pitachan on Cookpad. I used another recipe and used raisins for the doggy's nose instead.

I tried out a new bread bun recipe and I really like this recipe. The recipe is a simple straight forward one and I was quite surprised the buns were still soft the next day. This recipe is a keeper and I've used it again for my subsequent bakes.

Without further ado, here's my recipe for these bread buns, along with the instructions to fold the bread dough. :)

Refer to recipe below for details.

SLEEPING DOG SAUSAGE BREAD BUN RECIPE

Ingredients:
250g bread flour
30g sugar
1/4 tsp salt
25g butter, at room temperature
1 tsp instant yeast
1/2 beaten egg (keep the reminder 1/2 egg for egg wash)
120g water
Sausages
Raisins

Method:
  1. Mix all the ingredients, except butter, in a large bowl to get a dough. Add in butter and knead until dough is springy and soft, this takes around 10 minutes. If you have a bread maker, you can just use the dough function for this step, as well as step 2.

  3. Cover the dough with cling wrap and keep in a warm place for it to rise. This takes around an hour and the dough should double in size. Do a finger test to check if it's ready.

  5. While the dough is rising, soak raisins in water so that they will soften and expand. Dry them on a paper towel and set aside. These will be for the doggy's nose.

  7. Punch out the air from the dough with your fist.

  9. Divide the dough into 6 big balls and 6 smaller ones. The big one will be the body and the small ones will be the head. Roll them out and form them into balls. Cover with cling wrap and let the dough rest for 15 minutes.

  11. Roll out the big ball using a rolling pin.

    1. The one in the picture is chocolate, which I bought in Japan. For food marker, you can get at Phoon Huat. They sell the chocolate tube too, just a different brand.
