shaped like, well, little bums! (in the picture, they are on the left)
Servings:0

Ingredients

  • 600 g White flour Strong if you like them firm, plain if you like them soft
  • 360 Warm water
  • 6 g Dry yeast 3 g instant, 12 g fresh
  • 10 g Salt

Instructions

  • Put the flour in a bowl and make a well.  Spoon in the yeast and add 100 g of warm water.  Have a coffee and wait 15 minutes.  Add the rest of the water and the salt and knead well for 10-15 minutes, until the dough is elasticy and stretchy.  Pop it back in the bowl, cover it, and let it rise for 1-2 hours or until is has doubled in size.  Alternatively put it in the fridge over night.
  • Pull the dough out of the bowl and divide it into equal pieces of about 75 grams.  Roll these into tight little balls and put them on a baking tray that you have lined with parchment.  Space them about 2 inches apart.  Take a chop stick (or a thin handle of a spoon) and push it down, legthwise, into each bun almost to the bottom.  Then turn each bun over.  Cover with a cloth and let rise again for about 1 hour.
  • Turn the buns up again and gently re-press them with the chopstick again if the indentation has completely disappeared.  Spray with water and sprinkle with seeds.  Bake in a preheated 230 degree celcius oven for 15 minutes or so.  If you tap the bottoms of the rolls they will sound hollow.  Cool completely if you can!
