Roti Paun (Little butter buns)

Roti Paun (Little butter buns)

I feel so good when I having back my camera just now, hehehe. I quickly download old photos in the camera as I wanted to share with you this Roti paun. Roti paun is a small little buns that inside wrap with butter and this is one of the specialty in Kuala Terengganu.















This is the roti paun that I first tasted. It was given by my SIL who came all the way from Kuantan (she bought this during her trip to Kuala Terengganu).
Since I kept this bread in the fridge for few days, the bread turned out a bit dry and not that fresh. Since then I have been thinking to bake my own roti paun.

Roti Paun (Little butter buns)



I was adapted the basic sweet dough recipe from Alex Goh which using Gelatinised method (with little changes).

When the bread hot came out from oven, it was so soft, fresh and good.

Try to wrap the butter filling nicely at the center of dough ball otherwise you will see melted butter came out from bottom of bread. But it is ok if this happened as that one bought by my SIL also have same problem, hehehe..Or you can even omit the butter filling, but I prefer with butter filling as it taste buttery and nice.

    Hi Sonia,
    Tempting! Can't wait to try this! How much milk powder is to be used? Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Although the butter filling version was the most popular, I prefered the coconut filling version bought from Kampung Tiong in Kuala Terengganu. I was totally addicted to it and it's a must have for me whenever I visit KT.

  13. Hi Sonia,

    It's me, the question-asker again... I'm practicing making buns, and your buns are very attractive. I just want to ask if I can use jam as filling, or store-bought raspberry filling (for example)? If I can, should I put the filling in the fridge so it's chilled before use? I'm sorry for so many questions, because I'm really just a beginner in making breads and buns.

    Thank you very much.

    ReplyDelete
  14. RPVN, yes, you can replace with any kind of filling, but chill in the fridge before use, easy for wrapping.

  46. It's been more than 6 years since I had one. My aunty in Terengganu used to send this to us in KL. But now living in Perth, nobody send us. I've been looking for this recipe for a long time. Might give this one a try.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I love the texture of your roti paun. I have not tried the gelatinised dough method. Maybe I should try it soon. I normally use my bread machine as it is so much easier. I just measure and dump all the ingredients in the pan and the machine does the work.

    ReplyDelete
  48. These buns look so soft and fluffy. Must admit that the gelatinization method of bread making sure gives good results.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Like I just told Alan of travelingfoodies, I will eat any kind of bread, pound of oz! hehe Sonia, give me your roti paun, I will eat them all even if I were to put on many pounds because it look so soft and fluffy. No way I can resist it. Now, I will be going to bed thinking about your roti paun, haiyah!

  62. Hi, I wonder how u use mixer to mix as I used it last night, the dough roll up to the mixer blade and stuck on it..at the end i use hand to knead it..

    ReplyDelete
  63. I like the fact that they are so tiny and I can eat a few of them at a time, and savour their buttery insides! Reminds me of those roti mom/boy kinda buns!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Did anyone actually bake this buns using this recipe? I baked or rather, tried to bake it and followed the instructions thoroughly. I ended up buns as hard as rocks and sinfully, had to throw it out. I love these buttered filled buns and it's a reminence of my school days where I had it for recess almost daily! Never been able to get the buns since moving to west Malaysia -until I discovered Rotiboy's buttermilk...would love it in a bun texture.

  65. Hi Sonia - I tried baking this bead this evening and I actually make it a family event, everyone in the family actually helped. The bread turn out veyr soft. I missed out readings your instruction properly hence I did not put enough off the butter filling. Will wait till tomorrow to see if this breadis still as soft as this evening. Joycelyn, S'pore

  66. Hi Sonia,
    I havent tried baking bread before but your recipe looks so awesome I need to try it! An enquiry though, when you tear the dough into the yeast mixture u tear them and mix the eggs together? Also, for the stand mixture you use the bread hook or the normal beater? THanks!!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Joli, yes, tear the gelatined dough and add eggs at the same time. I was using break hook from KA mixer.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Hi, I made the dough and put it in the fridge before going to work this morning. I will pop 'em in the oven later when I come home. I'm excited. I hope it turns out well. Thnx

Im not into it eventho im dying to make my own. just that me and yeast, we don't have great connection :-) hehe, i am now in a midst of waiting for the dough to rise and it looks perfectly great, just one question how long can i keep the dough? can i make it the night before and bake it in the morning?

    ReplyDelete

  72. Hi Sonia, I have just started baking bread and I am very interested in this particular recipe. I would like to check with you if it is ok to use a hand held mixer with paddle attachment to work on the dough? Thanks for your help!
