Blueberry buns!

Continuing from my previous post, today I am going to share with you how to make these blueberry buns. The ingredients are required for the bun is the same with the pizza base ingredients, with the addition of dried blueberries.

You will need:
(8-9 buns)

400g bread flour
40g of butter
6g yeast
80g sugar
200g warm water
lots of dried blueberries

Steps:

1. Mix in dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, then slowly add in the water at intervals while kneading it until a dough is formed. It may be sticky at first when you knead, but when the dough is done, it should not stick to your hands
2. Cover the dough and let it ferment for at least 90 mins at room temperature.
3. Divide the dough into 8-9 equal portions, then make them into a sphere shape, then press it down so it is slightly flat, then make a hollow and add in a handful of dried blueberries, then close it up and then reform the sphere, make sure the dried blueberries are well packed inside and that the surface of the bun is smooth with no big cracks. 
I have done experiments testing the effect of having cracks on the surface and not, as well has having blueberries peeping out on the surface and not (as you can tell from the picture above, some has a more smooth surface, some looked more like scones lol). The ones that had blueberries peeping out, they fell out as the bun rises in the oven.  So I suggest to keep all the dried blueberries in and keep the surface smooth. If there are cracks that you can't fix, keep the cracked side facing down in the oven tray.
4. Preheat the oven to 180-200C, then place the buns in the oven for 15-20mins.

You may apply a layer of egg yolk on the surface to give a shiny glaze. I did not do that because I ran out of eggs at home. Now my buns looks as if it's really dry, and a bit like scones as well haha. But in fact they taste quite good and are 100% buns!!! (not scones..)
