Banana Honey Buns (Jamie Oliver)

I immediately wanted to try the buns so much only by reading the name - banana and honey - I could taste how yummy it was only by the name :)

When I read Jamie's basic bread recipe, I was quite hesitant to follow to the dot
No butter, no egg, and only water used
Hhmm.. Not too convincing, hence some modification I made
And so glad to know that it turned out lovely
Soft fluffy buns til the next day with banana taste and aroma, added with caramelized honey on the crust
And I added chocolate filling in the buns, which was no regret at all :)


The pictures below were taken in the evening when the buns were just out from the oven






And the two pictures below were taken the next morning, still as soft :)

What you need:
(1/4 from the original recipe and adding butter + egg)

1 egg
23g unsalted butter
250g bread flour
1 1/2 very ripe banana - peeled and pureed in food processor
Fresh lukewarm milk - to mix with pureed banana to reach 160ml
8g dried yeast
1/2 heaped tbsp sugar
1/4 tbsp salt
2 tbsp honey (runny) - divided
some chocolate chips fo filling
  1. I used breadmaker to do the kneading and first proofing, around 1 hour 30 minutes
  2. Put the wet ingredients first to the breadmaker pan - egg, the banana and milk mixture, and 1 tbsp of honey
  3. Followed by flour, sugar, salt and yeast
  4. Once the process done, take the dough out and knead for around 1 minute to let the air bubble out
  5. Shape into 50g ball each, flatten the ball, put some chocolate chips at the centre and shape like a ball
  6. Place on baking tray lined with non stick baking paper, sealed part at the bottom
  7. Let proof for another 1 hour til doubled in size
  8. Before baking, drizzle the remaining honey on the buns
  9. Bake in preheated oven of 190degC for 20 minutes or til the top browned and the hollow sound when tapping its bottom
  10. Take out from the oven and let cool on cooling rack

  9. Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.
