Submarine bun 😍❤️
Ingredients:-
This recipe yields approximately 8-10 buns.
Flour: 3½ - 4 cups (about 450-500g) bread or all-purpose flour
Water: 1 to 1½ cups (240-360ml) lukewarm water (around 105°F or 40°C)
Yeast: 1 packet or 2¼ tsp instant or active dry yeast
Sugar: 2-3 tbsp granulated sugar
Salt: 1 tsp fine or kosher salt
Butter/Oil: 2 tbsp melted butter or olive oil, plus extra for greasing
Egg Wash (Optional): 1 large egg mixed with 1 tbsp water, for brushing
Toppings (Optional): Sesame or poppy seeds
Instructions:-
1. Activate the Yeast
In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the lukewarm water, yeast, and 1 tbsp of the sugar. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy. This indicates the yeast is active.
2. Prepare the Dough
Add the flour, remaining sugar, salt, and melted butter/oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy, cohesive dough forms. If using a stand mixer, attach the dough hook and knead on medium speed for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If kneading by hand, turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes. The dough should pass the "window-pane test" (stretching without breaking).
3. First Rise
Lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough ball in the bowl and turn it over to coat the surface lightly with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
4. Shape the Buns
Gently punch down the dough to deflate it. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 8-10 equal portions. For each portion:
Roll the dough into a roughly 8x8 inch square or rectangle.
Starting from the edge closest to you, tightly roll the dough into a log shape, like a jelly roll.
Pinch the seam together to seal it well.
Using your palms, roll and gently stretch the log on the work surface to ensure even thickness, making it about 11-12 inches long.
5. Second Rise and Bake
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the shaped dough logs on the tray, leaving several inches of space between them. Cover loosely with a clean towel or oiled plastic wrap and let them rise for another 30-40 minutes, until visibly puffy.
While the buns rise, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the risen buns with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds, if desired. Bake for 18-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
6. Cool and Serve
Remove the buns from the oven and transfer them immediately to a wire rack to cool completely. Cooling them uncovered initially prevents a hard crust from forming. Once cool, slice them open and fill with your favorite submarine sandwich ingredients😍❤️
