In Quinn's recipe, she let the heart shaped dough rise a second time first before spreading in the filling. Would the result be different? Thanks!<br /><br />- JaneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-26898733951867139492013-03-31T00:05:38.506+08:002013-03-31T00:05:38.506+08:00These buns are just fantastic!

It is unlikely that you will over knead a dough by hand. The dough will be wet and sticky initially, but after continuous kneading, even without adding flour, it should be smooth and no longer sticks to your hand, did you manage to knead to this stage? As for the crusty crust, could it be due to the oven temperature? If not, did you cover the dough during the second proof? You may want to refer to sites such as (http://baking911.com/learn/baked-goods/bread/problems-and-solutions/general) for the common problems in bread making.<br />Hope this helps.Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-11663812465785692262013-01-21T13:33:06.943+08:002013-01-21T13:33:06.943+08:00i hv made this bun few days before.. it's my f...i hv made this bun few days before.. it's my first time to bake a bread, it accidentally added too much egg for it(about 40g)and have to spend much longer time for kneading, i spent about an hour to knead, and in the process, i think more flour have been added to the dough.. but still didn't pass the window pane test..and at the same time I was afraid to over knead it.<br />And the bread came out hard and especially crunchy at the surface... :(<br /><br />I know it's not about your recipe, but my techniques or ingredients, just hope u can give me some advice to help me improve. thanks a lot! u made really cute bunsTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-49458440424754507972012-08-30T07:09:37.622+08:002012-08-30T07:09:37.622+08:00Hi Andrea, what a great idea to top it off with ch...Hi Andrea, what a great idea to top it off with cheese, I will love the extra flavour too :)Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-87760995943970307922012-08-29T23:31:10.084+08:002012-08-29T23:31:10.084+08:00I made the tuna buns yesterday, they are very tas...I made the tuna buns yesterday, they are very tasty.

The dough came out less sticky than my first & second attempts. The buns smelled wonderful when baking and although they were far cry from yours in terms of fluffiness & gorgeous-looking but nevertheless tasted yummy! Many thanks & I can't wait to bake for my hubby when he is back from Germany next week!<br /><br />Cheers TammyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13895833373168228918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-80352735416565978442010-07-27T20:38:41.600+08:002010-07-27T20:38:41.600+08:00Hi Tammy, every oven works differently. Maybe you ...Hi Tammy, every oven works differently. Maybe you can place your baking tray higher (or lower depending on the position of the heating coil) so that the top can brown faster? My oven has only one set of heating coils on the top, so my bakes usually brown faster on top :(<br />You need to make sure you knead the dough really well. It has to be smooth and elastic (won't break off easily when you stretch it), and handle the dough gently during shaping. After the second proof, do not touch the doughs in case you deflate it.Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-75492849279715565632010-07-27T18:20:53.439+08:002010-07-27T18:20:53.439+08:00hi happy homebaker,

However, I have read that it is possible to do so. You can do it either after the 1st proof, or after shaping. The next morning, you need to bring the dough out to room temperature, let it proof the 2nd time before baking. but, I am not sure how long it will take for the dough to double in size, ready for baking.Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-40634920496805956042010-07-13T17:57:13.834+08:002010-07-13T17:57:13.834+08:00HHB could you please tell me whether any of the br...HHB could you please tell me whether any of the bread doughs can be made at night, refrigerated & then used next morning.
