Recently butter buns appear in a lot of fellow blogger posts.
Those cute, sweet filling buns look really appetizing!
Without any hesitate I
bake these yummy butter buns. Instead of white bread I used yam flavour bread.
Yes, I bake these yam buns again! I just like the yam fragrant and the purple
colour from the purple sweet potato. The buns taste even better with the sweet
butter filling. My kids like these buns very much!
This
will be my another post for this month Aspiring
Bakers #8 – Bread seduction (Jun 2011) hosted by Jasmine from The Sweetylicious.

love that purple colour too. Admire u on hand kneading. I am not up to that standard. Still need to depend on bread machine. :-)
ReplyDeleteI used to be hand kneading my bread dough (for most of the bread recipes in bread series-May 2011).I used electric mixer now as a lot easier especially during pregnancy period.
ReplyDeleteoyah, 103 days to go. Take good care. :-)
ReplyDeletelooks soft and nice as usual!you're really good! yeah, becos of the aspiring bakers event, all of us are having bread fever this month!!
ReplyDeleteThese yam buns look so delicious. Fresh yam is rare in Melbourne but it definitely worthwhile to make these buns if I can find them. I hope that frozen one will work as well.
ReplyDeleteI love all your bread recipes. All your bread look so yummy.
Lena,
ReplyDeleteI like this month thema too (Aspiring Bakers), sure a lot of fabulous bread recipes around!
Zoe,
Thank you. I really like this yam flavour buns. Hope you will like them too once you try.
Hi there.... Can i substitute bread flour with all purpose? Cant seem to find bread flour.....
ReplyDeleteZila,
ReplyDeleteThe result of using all-purpose flour 'bread' won't be the same. High gluten in bread flour make this buns soft and fluffy. Have a nice day!
