Roti bagelan (bagelan bread)

Roti bagelan is famous snack from Bandung, West Java. Crispy bread spreading with butter and sugar. I have to much left over bun and started get boring to eat with jam. I do remember my beloved mom she always creative to reproduce something was left in the kitchen. And here is one of her idea, instead throwing the buns you can make simple snack and for sure nothing left ! Enjoy ur evening tea with bagelan bread ;)

-buns ( i used left over but not yet expired)
-unsalted butter (room temperature)

-sugar for sprinkle

Cut the buns into two then spread with butter and sprinkle all over the bread with sugar

baked in the oven until golden colour and crispy.

It is customary to eat three meals begin with blessing of loaves bread. Traditional recipes used a large number of eggs, white flour, and sugar. Modern recipes tend eggless and replace white flour with whole wheat, oat, or spelt flour. Sometimes honey or molasses is substituted as a sweetener. The dough is rolled into rope- shaped pieces which is braided before baking and brush with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
