Cooking Instructions
- 1
A. Tangzhong - Mix flour and water in a small pot and whisk until there is no lump. Heat this mixture over low heat, keep stirring until it turns into a thick paste. Tangzhong is ready when the spoon used to stir leaves a visible trail all the way to the bottom of the pan. Turn off the heat and leave to cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap to keep it from drying before adding to the bread dough. This tanzhong can be prepared the night before or an hour before baking.

B. Topping - First, lightly beat egg. Keep aside. Then, add coffee essence (or use coffee that is dissolved in hot water). Add vanila extract. Stir to combine. Keep aside. Next, cream butter & sugar until pale & fluffy. Then add egg & coffee mixture & Stir until well mixed. Add ground cinnamon. Lastly, add flour & mix until you get a smooth paste. Transfer this mixture to a pastry bag fitted with round pastry tip. Refrigerate until ready to use.

C. Filling (1) - cube salted butter & keep in the fridge for later.
- 4
D. Filling (2) - Mix butter and sugar until well combined (but NOT CREAMY). Keep in the fridge. i use both fillings. I put cubed butter and half a teaspoon of this second filling. Kids love it both slightly salty and sweet at the same time. Putting only butter will give your buns only the taste of butter. Putting both, in my opinion, it tastes very much close to the ones they sell in Malaysia.

E. The Bun - using a stand mixer with paddle attachment, mix all dry ingredients. Then add milk & egg, mix on speed 1 for 3 minutes. Then switch to dough hook. Use the dough hook to knead on medium speed for about 10mins. Add Tangzhong. Mix again. Then add butter and continue kneading until dough is stretchy. Note: this recipe uses INSTANT dried yeast that requires no proofing.
- 6
Note: it’s best not to over knead the dough. How do you know if your dough is ready? Do a windowpane test by pull off a golf - sized piece of dough. Flatten it lightly, hold it between both your thumbs & the first two fingers and gently spread the dough apart into a thin sheet; if the gluten is well-developed, the dough will stretch into a thin sheet without breaking.
- 7
Next, cover dough with a damp cloth (or greased cling film) & leave to proof for at least 45 to an hour or until dough doubles in size depending on the temperature in the house.
- 8
Divide & scale bun equally in size. Lightly Shape into round balls, rest for another 10mins. (Note: do not press dough hard when shaping into balls). Next, take one of the rolled balls, flatten and put in cubed butter and a tsp of sweet salty filling, then wrap it up neatly & shape/roll into round ball. Proof for at least 45mins to an hour or until buns are fluffy and double in size.
- 9
Note on proofing: Proofing or the rising of the dough is very much depending on the temperature in the house. During winter, i proof my dough in my preheated warm oven (not hot). Or i pour boiling water into wide deep tray and place it at the bottom of the oven and my dough on the middle rack. It works. During summer, however, proofing doesn’t require much effort.
- 10
To assemble - Pipe topping (B) in spiral pattern onto buns right before baking. Note: Take topping out from refrigerator 5mins before using to avoid it getting too soft. Topping should be pipeable. Preheat oven. Bake at 160°C - 170°C (depending on your oven) for 15mins or until topping nicely brown (lightly brown). See the filling below, it oozes just the right amount of saltiness & sweetness. Serve warm.

Mexican Coffee Buns aka Rotiboy Mexican Coffee Buns aka Rotiboy
I only just heard the this Mexican Coffee Bun is not actually Mexican but Asian. I'm not really sure about this, but the website I saw stated that. Cookie dough on bread is actually quite normal here where I'm from (Polo buns are an example). My brother used to love these Rotiboy, as we call them, and we would have it at least three times a week for breakfast. Try it, you won't regret it.Ps The amount of coffee in the cookie batter can be adjusted to preference.

Nope there is no melon in the bread. Thought I should note that first. Melon Pan is a Japanese sweet bread with a crisp cookie crust. It was originally made to resemble the shape of a melon. Newer recipes nowadays do incorporate melon, but here I am using pandan as the flavoring and the color.

Very popular street food in southeast Asia. It's similar with white flat bread, but with more layers and crispyness. You can eat it sweet: with condensed milk and chocolate chips, or savory: with curry sauce. I also add "dl" scale, which stands for deciliter. Happy snacking!!

Puffy Steamed Nikuman (Meat Filled Bao or Buns) Puffy Steamed Nikuman (Meat Filled Bao or Buns)
These nikuman have fluffy and light yet still nicely chewy dough, and a ginger-scented filling. If you wrap them this way it's easy and the results are very neat.http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/aigomi2087This method makes dough that is light and fluffy even when the room temperature is below 25°C, so in the summertime the pre-proofing step is not necessary. You can just mix all the ingredients up at room temperature.It's probably not possible to steam the buns all at once, so you can steam half and pan fry half to enjoy the buns in two ways.
