Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 10 grams Granulated sugar
- 8 grams Salt
- 300 milliliters Whole milk
- 40 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 milliliters Warm water
- 20 grams Extra flour for dusting
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a medium saucepan, gently heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly until lukewarm.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and the lukewarm milk-butter mixture.
Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each piece into a round ball. Gently flatten each ball with the palm of your hand to form a slightly flattened roll.
Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Cover loosely with a kitchen towel and allow them to rise again for 30-45 minutes, until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly dust the tops of the rolls with extra flour before baking.
Bake the baps in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden on top.
Remove the baps from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
