– brush beaten egg on buns and bake in preheated oven of 200 degrees C for 10 – 15 mins
面包上涂上蛋液,放入200摄氏度预热烤箱,烤10-15分钟即可

Personal notes/温馨小贴士:

IMG_6982– this dough is very soft, so the outcome of the 3D effect of the bun was not as desirable. i will use a leaner dough for this shaping in the future
因这次选择的面包食谱偏软,所以做出来的绣球效果不太立体。下次做的话,会选择一个水量较少的面团

– my buns were baked for 13 mins
我的餐包用了13分钟烤成

IMG_6980IMG_6985another 3D sandwich bread?
又一个立体餐包?
(=´∀`)人(´∀`=)

AND THE BEST THING? the bun was still soft after two days!
这小东西还真不简单。。两天后,还是软绵绵哟

    Hi Victoria,

    The McDonald here are selling world cup soccer burger here in Australia made with soccer ball shaped buns… Do you have the same thing too at Beijing? Your buns look like the soccer burger buns that the McDonald are advertising 😀

    Love your HK pastry mat and all your precise bread shaping instructions 😀

    Can I use this recipe for my BM too ?

  • Joyce says:

    Such lovely buns, Victoria! And please pass over that delicious looking sandwich! Yums!

  • Kelly Ng says:

    Dear Victoria,
    Is the bread stay soft the next day ? If I want to use TangZhong, how can I replace with the liquid ? How much TangZhong should I use ?
    Thanks in advance !

    • Hello Kelly, as you can see the last bun picture above (with the cross-section), it still remained soft after 2 days. but do note that this is provided you store your bread properly (and will taste even better if you steam it ~ i do not use microwave).

      i haven\’t tried using tangzhong method with this (and i assume you mean 汤种,not 烫种)but if you like to try, take probably about 10percent of the flour from the above recipe, then add five parts of water (this is above and on top of the water stated in the recipe. replace with milk if you like) to it and boil till 65 degrees C (cool, chill and use next day). i will suggest you keep the recipe quantity as it is above, but reduce the water content in main dough by 20% as a start then add as necessary to achieve the desired consistency. hope this helps.

  • Ruby says:

    Dear Victoria, would like to check with u, how do u store the bread? airtight container or fridge? thank you.

    • Hello Ruby, I never chill or freeze my bread. I know there are many articles out there saying it is good for storing, but I then read somewhere else that it is not good for the bread. So I usually bake little loaves, double wrap with cling wrap and store in airtight container. We do try to consume in a few days and if not, you can always grate it to make it into panko 🙂
