Hokkaido bun

I have baked Hokkaido Bun before but using a Thermomix is my first.  There are many version out there but today, I shall try this one.

I shape it into buns and added otah as fillings.

Learning experience: 

The texture is so fluffy and I am totally in love with it.  As it is buns, it saved me the trouble of slicing it too.  Also easy for my girl to bring to school too.
