Roti Benggali @ Roti Bai



Ingredients

400g bread flour
1 egg yolk Grade A
2 tbsp corn oil or melted butter
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp milk powder
a pinch of salt
1/2 tsp bread improver
3/4 cup water

Starter
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water

Glaze/Topping
1 egg white + water
sesame seed + margarine/butter

Directions
  • combine starter ingredients till the yeast bloom
  • in another bowl mix the other dry ingredients together
  • add the starter yeast mixture together with the dry ingredients
  • add yolk, water and oil and start kneading until a smooth shiny dough is formed
  • leave for about an hour until dough expand twice in size and punch it down to release the air
  • knead again and separate into 8 equal parts
  • put into a round bread tray that has been greased with margarine
  • leave for about 45min 
  • brush the glaze mixture and sprinkle sesame seed on top
  • bake at about 180°C for about 30mins
  • brush margarine on the buns after removing it from the oven

Foodnote: Always wanted to try to make this so finally I did. Add more oil and water to the recipe. The recipe didn't indicate amount of water.... found out too late so I am just 2nd guessing it. Was rushing so I didn't weigh or shape the dough properly. Still it turns out soft and fluffy but dry the next day and taste wise so so... hhmmm don't think will use this recipe again though.
