Forked from Pumpkin Buns by @from-luxembourg-with-loaf

My best friend asked me to bring some buns for his birthday. As I already have a delicious recipe using pumpkin, I wanted to make them with potatoes this time. I also added a poolish for extra flavour and a tangzhong to keep the buns soft. The result was brilliant – bring on the birthday!

Prozess

1

Poolish Preparation

Combine the poolish ingredients thoroughly. Cover and leave to ferment overnight at room temperature.

Uses:Poolish
2

Tangzhong

Prepare the thangzong by cooking milk with flour until it's a think paste. Put in a glas and store in the fridge over night.

Uses:Thangzong
3

Mixing

Combine all ingredients in a mixer. Mix on low speed for approximately 10 minutes. Then increase to high speed and mix for an additional 5 minutes until the dough is fully developed.

Uses:Main Dough
4

Bulk Fermentation

Transfer the dough to a greased container. Wait for about 1-2 hours until it has been doubled in size.

5

Dividing and Shaping

Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a tight, round bun, ensuring good surface tension. Place the buns on a baking sheet and cover them to prevent drying.

6

Proofing

Allow the shaped buns to proof for 60 to 90 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.

7

Pre-Bake Preparation

Gently brush the proofed buns with an egg wash. Optionally, garnish with sesame seeds.
