Direction

1. Collect fresh orange peel, without the whitish portion, and cut into thin strips. Or use a strip blade fruit peeler to peel.

You can collect the orange peel beforehand and keep in the fridge.

2. Warm fridge-cold fresh milk and condensed milk in a rice cooker using "Keep Warm" function for 5 to 6 minutes. Or, leave it to stand in room temperature for about 20~30 minutes.

Temperature of the mixture should not exceed 38 degree Celsius.

3. Sprinkle the dry yeast over the surface of the milk mixture, without stirring. Cover with a lid, and let it stands for about 15 minutes.

4. Mix all ingredients, except butter, together and slowly pour in the milk mixture from (3). Stir the dough in one direction, till it forms into a lump. Cover with a lid and let the dough stands for 15 minutes.

5. Wear a pair of CPE disposable gloves to handle the sticky dough. Grab one end of the dough and slam it against the wall of the mixing bowl for about 1/2 ~ 1 minute or till the stickiness reduced.

6. Transfer the dough to a floured work top and knead the dough by slamming and folding for 10 minutes, or till the dough becomes smooth.

7. Spread out the dough and add softened butter to it. Knead to incorporate the butter into the dough and achieve a smooth and elastic dough.

8. Place the dough in a greased mixing bowl. Spray some water over the surface of the dough, cover with a lid, and allow it to proof for about 1 hour, or till its size doubles.

While waiting for the dough to proof, you can start to prepare the butter cream filling.

1⃣. Cream the softened butter with a hand whisk till pale.

2⃣. Add in fine sugar and salt. Continue to whisk till light and fluffy.

3⃣. Add in beaten egg and blend well.

4⃣. Add in the corn starch and blend well. Store the bowl of butter cream in the fridge for about 6 minutes, so the cream will not be too soft to handle.

5⃣. Transfer the butter cream to a plastic bag. Use a dough cutter to scrap the butter cream towards the sealed end of the plastic bag. Compress slightly to mould into a cylinder shape. Store the cream in the freezer for about 30 minutes to harden the butter cream.

6⃣. Use a dough cutter to divide the hardened butter cream into 10 equal portions. And keep in the fridge till needed.
