🍞 Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

• 300 g all-purpose flour or bread flour
• 40 g sugar
• 5 g instant yeast
• 3 g salt

🥣 Method

1. Make the Dough

1. In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
2. Add warm milk and egg.
3. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Add the softened butter last.
5. Knead 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

2. First Rise

Cover the dough and let it rise 60–90 minutes until doubled.

3. Shape the Mini Wool Rolls

1. Punch down the dough and divide into 8–10 pieces.
2. Roll each piece into an oval shape.
3. On the upper ⅔ of the sheet, use a knife or scraper to cut thin vertical strips.
4. Add a small amount of filling on the uncut bottom side.
5. Roll up tightly from the bottom toward the cut strips—this creates the wool look.
6. Place into a cupcake mold, muffin tin, or small baking tray.

4. Second Rise

Allow the shaped buns to rise for 30–40 minutes.

5. Bake

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Brush buns with egg wash.
3. Bake 15–18 minutes until golden brown.
