******************************

 

Zoe and I was having a short chat last month. She was asking me which potato buns do i prefer, Agnes's or Alan. I told her i like Agnes's but i have not try Alan's so i wouldn't be able to give comment. And i asked her, How about you? Which one do you prefer?? She answer, I am going to bake both and see which one i prefer. Do hope over to her blog (HERE) to see which one she prefer.

 

I have tried baking Agnes's potato buns a few times and my family loves it. Since i have not bake Alan's potato buns, I am going to bake it.

 

 

 

It is soft, fluffy and slight chewy. When you touch and hold it, it s like holding a small pillow :D

 

 

Instead of having a custard cross, i piped spinning wheel  and a double cross pattern with the custard topping

 

Which one do you like?

This is the double cross custard topping,

 

 

All are nice and beautifully and it is ready to go into the oven BUT wait,,,,

there is still a little touch up need to add on...

 

Piped the homemade custard onto the potato buns

I had a big challenge when using the premix custard powder. I follow exactly the recipe the amount of ingredients needed for the custard topping but it doesn't work as it should be.

The mixture is watery and  it definitely can't be piped.

I had to use another source of custard so i use the homemade custard instead. (will share in my later post on the homemade custard which i also use the custard to make a super soft bread0

 

Going into the oven now for 26 minutes.      Its DONE

           These buns are soft and nice to eat it on its own or with a light spread of homemade kaya.(which i will share later :p)         

 

Potato Buns          

recipe adapted from the book of 'In Love with Bread' by Alan Ooi

 

Ingredients:

 

(A) 

400g high protein flour/bread flour

50g caster sugar

6g salt

35g milk powder

6g / 2 tsp instant yeast

 

(B)

190ml cold water

1 egg (grade A - about 60g with shell)

90g potato (steamed and mashed)

 

(C)

 60g margarine (i use butter)

 

(D)

150g black raisin ( i omit this)

 

Custard Topping (i used homemade custard)

 

To Do:

 

1. Mixed ingredients (A) until well combined. Add ingredients B and mix until dough forms.
2. Add ingredients (C) mix until the dough is shinny and elastic. Add ingredients D and mix well. Cover the dough and let it rise in a worm place for 50 minutes or until it is double in size. (I use bread maker to do the mixing and kneading. Add the liquid ingredients into the bread pan follow with the dry ingredients. Use 'dough mode' for the mixing and kneading. My bread maker machine mix, knead and do the first proofing.)
3. POuch the dough down to expel some air. Divide the dough into 14 portions of 70 g each. Roll into balls and rest for 5 minutes.
4. Shape into balls again and arrange into a greased tray.Let it rise for 50 minutes or double the size. (i did not egg wash mine, just want that matte look :D)
5. Egg wash and piped custard over the buns. Bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 20 to 25 minutes or till golden brown.
