DOGGIE BUN

I recall seeing a photo on the internet on how to shape a bread dough into a doggie head. Base on what I can remember, ta-dah!

I am not following any bread recipe, so you may use your own. I made my own concoction to derive the bread texture that I like: slightly hard on the outside, soft on the inside.

My Own Bread Dough

200g bread flour

50g plain flour

30g sugar

20g milk powder

3g salt

3g instant yeast

2 tbsp evaporated milk

about 3/4 cup water (may not use all, please adjust to make into dough)

2 tbsp oil (melted butter is better, but I'm lazy)

more plain flour for dusting purposes

Raisins for eyes and noses

Egg Wash

1 egg + 1 tbsp water, well beaten

Method

1. Mix all dry ingredients well.

2. Add in evaporated milk and slowly add in water. Use your hand to knead and adjust water until the dough just comes together.

3. On a lightly dusted surface, place dough onto top and knead for a while. Add in oil.

4. Keep kneading until the dough is elastic and passes the window pane test.

5. Cover and let proof for about one hour until the dough doubles.

6. Punch out air and roll into a log.

7. Cut into 8 - 9 pieces. Roll them into a round balls.

8. Starting from the first ball, lightly flatten the dough into a oval shape. 

 9. Slice out the ears and shape the face.

Seal the face properly, otherwise it will open up again during proofing

10. Let the dough proof again for about 30 min or until double in size.

11. Arrange the eyes and noses, egg wash.

12. Bake in a preheated oven of 180C for about 20 min.

Slice under the chin and let the dog have a bone!

hotdog will look more like a bone, haaaa
