Second rise 2.5 h, with last 45m in light on oven.

Making 1.5x recipe enough for 4 adults and some leftover for lunch with braised pork.

Made 35 small buns and 10 50g buns in 3/4 and 1/2 sheet pan.

Six large buns, 6 small buns remaining.

Corwin 3 small, Julian 2 small with peanut butter.

Note

2017-08-06 Double recipe 2 hour ferment, 2 hour proof "well risen" loaf, probably too soft, but made for very soft, perhaps too soft loaf, 1.5 hour rise might be better. Brushing with milk didn’t collapse loaf. Baked for 25 min & 30 min two 3/4 trays for very light browning. First tray was barely done.

Note	2019-01-09 An 1.5 recipe resulted in 4 small and 2 large buns remaining. When making buns for pork sandwiches double recipe for four adults and 2 increasingly hungry kids so that there are sufficient buns for left overs.
