Assorted Mini Buns

With just one basic bread dough, you can create a varieties of bread rolls or buns! Great for breakfast, snack or picnic.

For this batch, I used the poolish method, ie. using pre-ferment dough (the starter). It adds wonderful flavour to your bakes and the bread stays soft.

You can make plain buns with this recipe, or add in your favorite fillings.
