Ingredients :

500  gm   high protein flour
  50  gm   milk powder
250  ml   chilled water
  11  gm   instant dried yeast (I used Mauripan)
150  gm   caster sugar
100  gm  margarine
a few drops of yellow food colouring


Method :

1.    Grease all 4 baking tins (6-inch round) thoroughly.  I used vegetable shortening.  Keep aside.
2.    Place all ingredients except margarine in a mixing bowl.
3.    Fasten the dough hook onto the mixer and start kneading.
4.    Once the ingredients have just combined, add in the margarine.  Knead till a soft, elastic and shiny dough is formed.
5.    Remove from the bowl and let rest the dough for about 10 minutes.
6.    Divide the dough into a 30gm balls.  Shape it nicely and arrange into the prepared tins.
7.    Cover the tins and leave the dough to rise till almost double the size.
8.    Mix a bit of the milk powder with a bit of water and brush lightly on top of the dough.
9.    Bake in a preheated oven at 170'C for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
10.  Once baked, remove from the oven and onto a wire rack to cool.  Lightly brush with a margarine.
