BASIC SWEET ROLL DOUGH FOR CINNAMON BUNS

Steps:

• in a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast; blens well to mix. in small sauce pan heat water milk and butter until very warm (120-130 Degrees F.) Add warm liquid and egg to flour mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened. by hand add the other 3 cups of flour until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
• On floured surface, knead in another 1 to 2 cups of flour until dough is smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. place dough in greased bowl and let rise covered in a warm place, until doubled in size.abouy 45 to 60 minutes.
• Punch dough down and divide in half. Shape and bake dough as desired, I make cinnamon rolls with this dough.by rolling it out spreading melted butter on it and sprinkleing it with cinnamon sugar and rolling up to cut in 1inch slices.
• To make dough a day ahead, after first rise time, punch dough down and cover to refrigerate overnight.

SWEET POTATO BUNS

Steps:

• Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well. Mash sweet potatoes with a potato masher. Measure out 1 cup and allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate remaining mashed sweet potatoes for another use.
• Whisk 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup warm water, and yeast together in a bowl. Cover and and place in a warm place to allow yeast to activate, about 15 minutes.
• Spoon 1 cup of cooled mashed sweet potatoes into yeast mixture and transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer. Add egg, melted butter, honey, and sea salt and about 3 cups flour. Mix using the dough hook. Knead for 2 to 3 minutes. If dough seems too sticky, gradually add in remaining flour or as needed to where dough pulls away from the sides of the mixing bowl. Continue kneading until dough is very soft, only slightly sticky, and somewhat elastic, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer dough to a floured surface. Shape into smooth ball. Return dough to bowl and drizzle with oil; rub oil over entire surface to prevent dough from drying out. Cover and place in a warm spot until dough has doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently press out air pockets. If needed, use only enough flour to keep dough from sticking. Press into rectangular shape about 3/4-inch thick. Cut dough into 16 equal sized pieces. Gently shape each piece into a ball. Slightly flatten each ball and place onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat. Let rise until double, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Whisk 1 egg and 1 teaspoon water together in a bowl. Brush each bun with egg mixture. Sprinkle dough with sesame seeds.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes.

PANIPOPO - SWEET COCONUT BUNS RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Put the yeast and water in a large bowl and leave for 10 minutes. What you're doing here is giving the yeast a headstart before everyone else jumps in the bowl. You should see your yeast froth to the surface of the water. If you don't see any froth then a) your yeast is old or dead and you need to get some fresh stuff, b) your water was too hot and you burned them to death or c) did you wait 10 minutes? did you really? i mean, like really REALLY? Add all the rest of the ingredients and mix to form a soft dough. It's difficult to give an exact flour measurement because flours differ from place to place. What you're looking for is a cohesive mass of dough, so add the first two cups of flour, mixing after each addition, and then add the last cup in bit by bit until you see your dough come together. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 to 20 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic. This is the most work you'll have to do for these buns, I promise. You can add a little bit of flour from time to time to keep the dough from sticking to the surface or to your hands, but don't add too much or you'll end up with tough dough (tough dough = tough buns). Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover and leave to double in volume. (Optional step: Punch down and leave to double in volume again.) In my 30°C/86°F kitchen, my dough took about 1 hour to double in size. The dough will prove (rise) at almost any temperature except freezing, it just depends on how hot/cold your kitchen is. Better to go by volume here, and not by time. Punch the dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape the buns and place in an ungreased baking tin. Cover and leave to rise until almost doubled. So there are two common ways to shape the buns: Roll into a long rectangle, and then roll it up. Slice into 2.5 cm (1 inch) or any even-sized rounds. Pinch off balls of dough and roll into balls. Some say that the jellyroll-style buns soak up more of the coconut sauce, but I've made them both ways and they're pretty much the same. Because of the size of my oven, I used two 20 cm round aluminium tins, but I think the buns look better in rectangular or square pans. There's something about seeing all these uniformly shaped buns lined up in a row. The important thing about your baking pan is that it is deep enough to hold the buns and sauce without it bubbling over. Oven cleaning - not fun. While the buns are rising, preheat your oven to 190°C/375°F, and make your coconut sauce. Coconut Sauce info: Combine all ingredients well. If your coconut milk is a little coagulated, just give it a stir and it'll be right as rain. Try to use a good quality canned coconut milk (my mother thought the thicker, the better) but as always, fresh is best. If you taste the sauce as it is now, you might find it almost sickeningly sweet, but don't worry, because during baking, some of the sugar is absorbed by the buns. When the buns have doubled in size, pour the sauce over them. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and the sauce is bubbling up around the edges. Let them cool at least a half hour before cutting into them. This gives the buns time to set up, and also gives the sauce a chance to thicken slightly.

RESURRECTION BUNS (SWEET EASTER BUNS)

Steps:

• Mix your cinnamon and sugar together in a bowl.
• Take a small ball of raw bun dough (these are easily made if you have leftover bread dough as well), and wrap it around a marshmallow, sealing well.
• Dip the ball into melted butter.
• Dip the buttered ball into the cinnamon/sugar mix.
• Place the ball onto a greased cookie pan, (use a pan with a lip, because the marshmallow will melt out to make a nice gooey sauce, and you wouldn't want it all over the bottom of your oven!) Leave enough space between balls to allow them to rise to double their size.
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for about 35 mins or until doubled in size.
• Pre-heat oven to 375.
• Bake the Resurrection Buns in the oven for 18-20 mins or until lightly browned.
