Rotiboy (coffee bun)_Natural yeast 天然酵母_咖啡墨西哥包

Rotiboy coffee bun is my little boy's favourite bread. So i try to replicate this bun using natural yeast from sourdough starter. Anyway, i also provide you recipe using instant yeast method if you don't have natural yeast, but you need to adjust the water portion. Also i will update this recipe on my new FB page which i work together with another sourdough buddy. Feel free to visit my FB page : SEED Artisan Bakers , as we will share more sourdough tips and recipes in this page.

Love this sweet bun recipe as it yield very moist and soft bun.

Anyway, my boy asked me to increase sugar for the crispy coffee crust as he prefer sweeter version. So you may want to adjust the sugar amount if you prefer sweeter version.
