芝麻馅小餐包

我特爱芝麻是不折不扣的芝麻控, 对所有芝麻制的食品皆无法抗拒。这九个小餐包啊不声不响的全往自己肚子里放, 所以食谱里头的分量就歇尽所能的低脂低糖。

芝麻馅小餐包 

Ingredients : 

For the bread dough : 250g bread flour, 20g ground black sesame, 20g caster sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon dried yeast, 160g fresh milk and 10g unsalted butter

For the filling : 50g ground black sesame, 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon caster sugar, 3 tablespoons black sesame paste and 2 tablespoons fresh milk 

For the topping : Black and white sesame seeds

Method :

1. Put all ingredients in a mixing bowl except butter, knead well until the dough is soft and not sticky. Add softened butter, continue kneading until the dough feels very elastic, looks smooth and silky.

2. Cover dough with a damp tea towel. Leave to rise until doubled in size.

3. Punch down the risen dough with your knuckles to deflate it. Turn it out onto a lightly floured worktop and knead gently for a minute. Divide the dough into nine equal portions and shape each into a ball. 

4. Gently flatten each ball and spread the sesame filling along the centre of the dough. Fold the dough over the filling to enclose it.

5. For a coating of sesame seeds on the rolls, brush each roll with milk, roll each dough ball through the  sesame seeds. Sit each roll on the lined baking tray, cover the tray loosely with a damp tea towel and leave to rise until almost doubled in size.

5. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 180 deg C. Bake the rolls for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the rolls are golden and sound hollow when tapped underneath.
