Banana Milk Buns

 

Recipe source:  Carol


Ingredients:

180g bananas, mashed

270g high protein flour

30g plain flour

30g condensed milk

1 tsp instant dried yeast

60g fresh milk

1/8 tsp salt

20g butter, cut into cubes

15g butter, cut into thin strips
sugar, to sprinkle on the buns

• In a mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine all the ingredients together, except butter.
• Knead until it forms a slightly sticky soft dough. Then add in butter.  Continue to knead until smooth and elastic.   
• Shape the dough  into a smooth ball and place in a greased  bowl.  Cover with  cling wrap.  Set aside to proof until doubled.
• Punch down by pressing the dough out evenly with your hands to release the air.
• Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.  Roll into balls.  Cover and rest for about 15 mins.
• Flatten each dough and roll into oblong shape.  Pinch the seam together to seal.  Place the roll, seam side down, onto a greased pan. 
• Mist the rolled dough with water and loosely cover with cling wrap. Proof until just about doubled in size (90%).
• Using a sharp knife, make a slash at the centre of the rolls and place strips of butter into the incision.  Then sprinkle some sugar over the butter.
• Bake the rolls in a preheated oven (175 deg C) for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
