Portuguese Buns

I have been wanting to try these for a while, we live in an area where there are many Portuguese bakeries and these are a big hit 

Simple enough to make:

520 gr bread flour

120 gr warm milk

180 gr warm water

35 gr butter

7 gr yeast

teaspoon of sugar

add the yeast to the water, milk and sugar (let proof for 10 min)

put the flour and salt in mixer bowl with the butter

add the yeast mixture and run the mixer on low for 2 min, crank up the speed a couple of notches and knead for 5-7 min until you get a nice smooth dough

Let proof for an hour or so (double in volume) punch down and divide into 80 - 100 gr pieces. Make a tight ball, flatten it out and press a seam in the middle (I used the handle of a wooden spoon) fold in half and pinch the ends. Proof another hour or so then bake with steam @400 until done 

I made mine 110 gr, next time I will go for 80-85, they were a bit larger than I wanted
