ReplyDeleteif your bread had risen enough, they should remain soft but like all bread it will turn stale. wet a paper kitchen towel and wrap bread with it. microwave for 10 - 15 seconds and the bread will be soft again

the secret of the bread top bread is OIL. substitute the milk with oil ;the mixture is 30% oil.
ReplyDeletethis is why it's not popular with the health conscious because the fats in it will cause high cholesterol.
enjoyable nevertheless.

Lily,
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time baking bread, I have some stupid question that I hope you can help answer.
Can I put all the bread making ingredient in the breadmaker and let it form a dough for me? How long should I let the breadmaker do the job for me? I just recently bought a breadmaker.
After forming a dough, do I also rest the dough after dividing into 8? Where should I rest these 8 mini dough? On a tray? Or should I cover it with wet cloth?
Glazing the bun with egg wash meaning coat the bun with egg white before baking the bun in the oven?
For the cream chesse filling, do I beat the cream cheese and sugar till smooth?
Thanks.
noeline
yes, you could use the breadmachine to knead and proof your dough. choose the dough function and it will knead and proof, which will take about 1.30 hr depending on the machine.
you can divide the dough immediately and out in the filling. the filled dough has to rise again covered with a damp cloth for another time before it can be baked. glaze buns before baking.
yes, the cream cheese and sugar has to be smooth
