Mini Raisins Buns#BreadBakers

This month for Bread Bakers,  am,  the host. On my to do list for the event was Schiacciata con l’uva, had specially frozen the grapes for this purpose. 

Went on a holiday my fridge main tripped as the result everything in the fridge got spoilt, even the cheese mildewed. Had a tough time cleaning the fridge after I, came from a enjoyable holiday. Had to change my recipe and make these mini raisins buns, since fresh grapes are not available in this season. 

Here, have used fresh yeast that I bought, from Germany. In Germany I believe, they use fresh yeast to bake their breads and this yeast is too good. The bread has a delicious flavor.

Makes 8 Mini Buns
Ingredients

 280 Grams All Purpose Flour 

140 Ml Full Fat Milk 

10 Grams Fresh Yeast 

1 Large Egg 

50 Grams Margarine 

25 Grams Fine Sugar 

½ Teaspoon Salt 

½ Teaspoon Vanilla Sugar 

75 Grams Golden Rasins 

Method 

In a mixing bowl or food processor  add the yeast, milk, when the yeast starts to bubble,  add the flour, egg, and run the processor till it forms into a dough on low speed.  Then add the sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, margarine and again run the food processor on high speed to make a nice soft and smooth dough for about 8 to 10 minutes. 

Take this out on a lightly dusted floured work surface, add the raisins, fold and stretch the dough till this is well incorporated. Keep it in a oiled bowl covered with a towel till it doubles in volume.

Grease and line a baking tray well. Preheat the oven a 180°C.

When it doubles in volume, take out on to floured surface and deflate the dough. 

Cut into equal pieces, weighing around 80 grams each roll it into smooth balls place them in a the prepared baking tray. 

Brush with egg wash and keep them covered till 

they double in size. 

Then bake them for round 15 to 18 minutes. Baking time may also vary depending on the size of the buns, type and accuracy of your oven. 

Place them on a wire rack to cool.

See the golden raisins peeking

The aroma of these buns  was so tempting had two of these hot just like that with a cup of tea... delicious!!  The remaining got over for our breakfast the next morning.
