12 Months of Bread - 4/12

I know when I set out on this tasty 12 months of bread project I didn't set myself the rule of making one a month. I never planned to do it that way. But... when the 29th snuck around and I hadn't done an April loaf I panicked! The next day, I made these amazing sesame seed buns. So, technically, this is Aprils bread, okay?

I have tried to make burger type buns before, but they turned out brittle and hard (it actually hurt to eat them!). This time I followed this Basic White Roll recipe. I was apprehensive of using soy butter and soy milk as alternatives, I always assume it'll react weirdly! But I don't think this effected the outcome at all. I used soy milk to glaze too, and added sesame seeds gently pressed into the dough. I only cut mine into 4 too.



Lessons Learnt: If I did these again I'd bake them at a lower temperate. The tops were a little brown and the centre just just just cooked. Doh. Kneading dough is so relaxing. Also, greaseproof paper sucks.

Verdict: Pretty tasty! I was super happy that they were nice and soft inside. You could actually taste the sesame too! That was a huge plus for me because I looovvvee sesame seeds. They went perfectly with the kidney bean, carrot and cumin burgers Dixon made us.
