If you ask me to choose between bread and rice, I would always got for bread :p
My mum used to say I'm the 'kwai lou' type of people who can survive only on bread and without rice. I think even my kids got that from me too except for ANGEL, she likes to eat plain rice with hot soup. My boys would chose bread and pasta over rice anytime when my Mum-in-law (MIL) asked for opinion on what to cook for the day.
My MIL used to tell me, "You better learn to make bread or buns since your kids just loves them so much'. she also said that" it's not that hard actually, just master the kneading and one type of dough, and that's all you need". At first I don't really get what she meant, as I was wondering to myself, how can just one type of dough will cover the whole list of all the types of buns my kids like....??? Then, I decided to do a little research, and search the internet to see what are the types of dough normally used to make those 'list of buns' that my kids would love.......and the answer is "Sweet Bun Dough" is all you need to know.....and you can transform that into any type of toppings or fillings you wished, even any shapes and sizes you want too ^-^
I though that would be really interesting. Then the other day,my MIL made some 'Sausage Buns' for the kids, and I was so tempted to try and make some too. I googled and googled and found a number of 'Basic Sweet Bun Dough" recipes from a few bloggers. I printed it all down , made some comparisons and decided to try the ones that is the simplest.
