Tuna Mayo Bun

Finally attempt to make this heart shaped buns! I loves Carol's blog which features details on how to mould the dough into different shapes! :D Instead using her method using straight dough, I uses water roux dough :) All the six buns turned out nicely shaped, no weird looking heart shaped :D

Ooooo so soft :D

65C Tangzhong, Water Roux
Ingredient

• 125gm fresh milk/ water
• 25gm high protein flour

Method

1. Pour milk into a small saucepan, add in flour and stir till flour is well dissolved.
2. Cook over low heat and whisk continuously till a smooth paste is formed (I do not have a thermo to check whether the dough reaches 65C, but it roughly takes about 2mins)
3. Cover the paste with a cling wrap touching the surface, leave to cool completely before using.
