Notes
After first proofing, add in flavoring/additional of your choice, if you want to make raisin bread etc. Then follow the next steps.
To make filled buns, after first proofing, divide dough into portions (round was filled with custard - weigh dough at 130 g each, fill and pinch to seal. For long shape, filled with cherry jam, weigh dough at 160 g each). Then let rest for second proofing.
