Preparation

  1. Gather all the dry ingredients and place them into a spiral mixer.
  2. Mix on low speed for 4 minutes and high speed for 6 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and well-developed.

Shaping

  1. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
  2. Divide the dough into equal portions of 50g each.
  3. Round each piece into a smooth ball.
  4. Gently flatten each piece and place a cube of butter in the center.
  5. Wrap the dough around the butter, sealing it tightly to prevent leakage during baking.

Baking

  2. Place the tray in a proofer set to 35°C with 80% relative humidity and let the dough rise until slightly puffy.
  3. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  4. Evenly apply the prepared topping batter over each dough ball before baking.
  5. Bake for 13–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
