Bailey’s Roti
Around the year 2000, these started to appear in Malaysia and spread to Singapore. They were so trendy. Some call theirs rotiboy, Mr Bun, coffee dome. etc etc etc. When they first appeared, we used to buy 10 and get one free every weekend, until we got tired. The sad thing is, I think everybody got tired as well. It was trendy and very soon, these specialist shops’ bubble burst just like the bubble tea bubble. (pun intended)
As an entrepreneur lecturer, I often wonder why there was no case study done, or business plan written. Hm… those were just Mexican conchas, with coffee added, and of course they can reinvent this concept into something more sustainable, no?
How we brand the company and determine what it does changes the longevity or sustainability of our businesses. With just a few tweak, these roti shops can become really big, with little innovation and little additional investment.
But ah! This is just me, the entrepreneur and don thinking.
Today’s bake, I just added 2 teaspoons of coffee and brandy into a standard Mexican conchas recipe. I changed the bun into a new sweet bun bread that requires just one proof, and added butter and cheese to the core of the bun.
The result … everybody (except me) had 3 buns each. Nice. Takes less time to make than to drive all the way to buy a few buns.
Roll into a ball, then flatten into a disc.
Put the mixture of sugar, cheese and butter inside the dough.
Roll into a ball again and proof for 30 minutes at 40C.
When fully proven, pipe a spiral of bailey’s cream evenly.
You can also shape it into a swirl.
That’s the Bailey’s roti.
How it looks like ithose shaped as swirls.
A bun is done when 2/3 of its base is nicely golden browned.
