Resepi Cheese and Onion Bread/Bun

Next recipe's gonna be my Cheese and Onion Bread, tweaked and durhaka-ed from the original recipe, Custard Roll from Mamafami@fotopages.com. Ya ampun dooong.. Takpela, it's called creativity, is it not?

The ingredients are all in grams (that's why I really need a digital scale, dear hubby, 'cause mine's just not reliable anymore, being 3-years old) so I've converted it (more or less accurately) into cups, spoons, teaspoons, teacups, and saucers (kidding).

Resepi Cheese Bread/Bun (which originated from Custard Roll above)
60g condensed milk
15g egg (1/2 an egg)
170g warm water
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp bread improver
1/2tsp bread softner
3/4tb yeast (I use ragi roti or just use plain 'ol mauripan)
300g high protein flour/bread flour/tepung gandum
1tb margarine/butter (I tried to use 2tb margarine but it seemed too much)
3tsp milk powder.

Method: Elbow Grease style

1. Take large bowl and add all ingredients together except margarine and water till well blended.
2. Make a hole in the middle and slowly add in water, all the while using your fingertips and making a one-way, circular motion to blend in the ingredients. (I watched Jamie Oliver doing this to his breads and copied him :p )
3. Add in margarine/butter and knead until it feels elastic and soft, for about 5-7 minutes. (I've been doing some research in the Internet. Bakers say you can't knead too long or you're going to over-work the gluten and the dough's gonna get tough and hard when baked. And you can't under-knead it too or it will not rise. I don't know whether this is true or not but I find that for 250g-300g of flour, it's preferably just to knead it for less than 8 minutes. For more flour and bigger dough, it may need longer time, like 10-12 minutes or so. I just use my hands and stop when the dough doesn't stick too much to your fingers and it's elastic and stretchable. If any info's wrong, I really do beg your pardon. It's just an observation from an ol' non-working momma).
4. Put dough in a bowl lightly greased with butter and cover it with plastic wrap or clean dish towel and let it proof for about 50-60minutes. (I put it in my un-used oven, lowest temp)
5. Punch all the air out of the dough, and divide it into 4 equal parts.
6. Shape into strips and put it in a lightly greased bread pan, alongside each to make a row.
7. Prove 2nd time till double in size for about 30 minutes.
8. Pipe zigzaged mayonnaise across row of strip-doughs, sprinkle mozarella cheese on top, and lay down some onion rings.
9. Bake in preheated oven for 180 deg celcius, 30-40 minutes, depending on how much you want your cheese to be browned (haha).
