Raisin buns


I still have a lot of bread recipes in my head, ^^.


It's not easy for me to turn to other things (so you can be sure that there will be more and more bread recipes for months, haha)
Today's recipe is raisin bun, that's delicious and cute, esp. if you love the rum raisin fragrance. 
But if you don't want to use rum, you don't have to worry as you can use water to moisten the raisin too. 


You can use up to 20 g of rum if you love the fragrance of it as 15 g of the rum will give you a hint of the rum.
I shape the bun into a knot so the texture of the bread will be a bit chewy and it will rise beautifully while baking. You can just shape the dough into a ball and put it into the pan, the buns will be a mushroom shape and a bit softer, choose the texture and the shape that you like!

As the baking temperature is high the bread will turn brown quickly, turning the pan after baking halfway is recommended.
