– mix all ingredients together, except butter and knead till you get a soft and pliable dough
– add in butter, and incorporate well. knead till window pane stage and allow to proof till double in size
– punch dough down and divide into 3 equal portions. allow dough to rest for 15 mins
– roll out the dough and roll up tightly (swiss roll style). place in 450g loaf pan and allow to rise till 80-90 percent full
– cover the pan, and bake on lower rack in preheated oven of 200 degrees C for 40 mins
Personal notes:
– i halved the recipe and made eight 30g buns
– i used 100g bread flour, and 25g cake flour
– shape piggies as follows:
head: roll a portion of dough into a tight ball
using a small scissors, snip 2 corners at the top of the dough
flip the corners up to form the ears. set aside to rise and proceed to shape the bump
take another portion of dough, and pinch a very small portion out of it. roll this small portion into a thin rope
roll the dough out into a flat disc
fold it into half
then take both ends of the semi-circle…
and join them together
twirl the rope
… and place it just slightly above the legs. and you’ve got the tail *@*
allow the dough to proof. meantime, cut out eyes from seaweed (using punches)
punch 2 holes in thin slices of hot dog with a piping tip
place seaweed (eyes) and hot dog (nose) on the face, and viola! your piggy buns are ready for baking
… and cool the buns （*＾＾）/~~~~~~~~~~◎
and you have your little pig pig milk bread…. (⁎⁍̴ڡ⁍̴⁎)

Hello Lily, I bought the punch out in Tokyo. Not sure where u r located but I think there are many websites that sell these. Taobao for sure. If you r located in Singapore, do try takashimaya. I think there is a shop at the basement selling bento stuff. Good luck.
