Homemade sweet buns - 233 cooking recipes

Sweet buns, perhaps, remain the most popular baked goods (right after pies). There are many of them prepared, according to different recipes, from different types of dough. So, they can be shortbread, fluffy with yeast, puff pastry, or sponge cake. With and without fillings, rolled into a roll, ball, ring, spiral. They also have different shapes: round, square, triangular, curly, flat, voluminous, and so on.

Classic sweet buns in Russian cuisine are, of course, yeast buns. The dough for them is kneaded with fresh or dry yeast, with or without dough. If it is rich, then you don’t even need fillers, they will turn out so tasty. But if you add raisins or other dried fruits, it definitely won’t be superfluous. To make the baked goods look more elegant, you can make them into shapes: twist them into a cone, a pretzel, or a bun. The buns will be perfectly even if you bake them in even round muffin tins.

A more accessible method will give this baked goods a store-bought look: the dough must be divided into equal parts, formed into a ball from each, then placed all the balls in a baking dish greased with oil. Let sit until it rises and bake until done. The result will be “collapsible” buns. To make them brighter, it is better to grease them with raw yolk (before putting them in the oven) or vegetable oil. For extra gloss, the still hot buns can also be greased with butter to make them shine.

Many people love to bake sweet buns according to recipes without yeast, with kefir, sour cream, milk, and so on. If a fresher dough is used, sweet filling in the form of jam, marmalade, chocolate, cream, or boiled condensed milk can be added inside the buns. By the way, if the jam is too liquid, you can thicken it by adding starch, flour, wheat or corn, or gelatin. If you choose the latter, be prepared for a not-so-pleasant odor during the baking process. But after cooling, the buns will come out just right.
