Prep/Cooking Time: 60-90 Minutes

Ingredients

Custard

Dough

Instructions

Place the milk and butter in a thick bottomed pan and bring to the boil
In a mixing bowl combine the sugar and flour
Once the milk boils add a little milk to the flour, enough to make a loose paste
Now add the flour mix back to the milk pan and whisk till there are no lumps
Cook until the milk thickens and starts to bubble
Remove from the heat and strain
Cool and keep refrigerated till needed

To make the dough place the flour and salt in a large mixer bowl
Mix the yeast with the warm water and stir to dilute
Now add the cold milk mix and the water to the flour mixing bowl
Mix on the lowest speed till all the ingredients are combined
Once a dough has formed mix for 2 more minutes
Remove the dough from the bowl and place in an airtight covered plastic container
Leave in the fridge till ready to roll (can last for up to 2 days)
When ready turn out the dough onto a floured surface
Cut into pieces and roll into balls
60-80g are a good size
Once rolled place on baking sheets with 3-5" space between them as they will now prove
Cover the dough balls with plastic wrap and place somewhere warm to prove
Once doubled in size brush with egg wash and place in a pre heated oven
Cook at 180c for 16-20 minutes (turn half way through if necessary)
Once cooked leave to cool
Keep at room temperature and cut as needed
