Sweet Dough Buns

What is a sweet dough bun?, it is a bun baked with sweet dough which is usually used to make doughnut.

The difference between this bun and my other bread is that, this is baked using French flour and some European butter that I don't even know how to pronounce the name. The texture is very different from the usual sweet dough buns as the texture is much firmer, in contrast to those locally made ones that is too soft (like chewing into nothing). The quality of the raw material is always the basic factor for a good bread. Try to buy the better quality of the raw ingredients that you can afford it.

There are a lot of good recipes for different type of sweet dough or milk bread, You can pick up some recipes online & from the book store. Do check out the below link which I find very helpful:

This soft dough is a good option, because it is a good contrast against the usual European bread that is usually firm and very crusty. This is how it looks like on the inside the sweet dough.
