Equipment
Ingredients
- 240 gram warm water
- 12 gram granulated sugar
- 7 gram active dry yeast
- 60 gram milk
- 60 gram vegetable oil
- 8 gram Activated Charcoal Powder
- 450 gram all purpose flour (or use our gluten-free flour recipe)
- 6 gram salt
- 1 egg
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until the yeast becomes foamy.
- Add milk, vegetable oil, and activated charcoal powder to the yeast mixture. Mix well until the activated charcoal is evenly distributed.
- Gradually add all-purpose flour and salt to the wet ingredients, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space for them to expand.
- Cover the shaped buns with a clean towel and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
- Beat one egg and brush the surface of each bun with the beaten egg for a shiny finish.
- Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are firm and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before serving.
