Buns like fluff

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make airy buns like fluff? First, measure out the necessary ingredients to prepare the dough. Heat the water slightly. Use wheat flour of at least the highest grade (or extra). It is most suitable for baked goods.

2. STEP 2

   

   Dissolve yeast and sugar in lukewarm water and stir.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add flour to the dissolved yeast, sifting it through a sieve.

4. STEP 4

   

   Mix everything with a whisk until smooth and without lumps. Cover the dough with cling film or a towel and leave in a warm place to rise for about 20 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Meanwhile, prepare the ingredients to make the dough. The butter must be taken out in advance so that it becomes soft. Warm the milk slightly.

6. STEP 6

   

   Sift the flour into a wide bowl with high sides until it is saturated with air bubbles. This will contribute to the full functioning of the yeast. The dough will rise faster and easier, and the baked goods will turn out fluffy and airy.

7. STEP 7

   

   Combine all baking ingredients. Beat the eggs with a whisk with salt, sugar and vanilla sugar until smooth.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour in warm milk and stir.

9. STEP 9

   

   The dough rose well. Numerous “living” bubbles appeared on the surface.

10. STEP 10

    

    Add the dough to the prepared butter mixture and mix.

11. STEP 11

    

    Add about 3/4 of the sifted flour. Do not pour out all the flour at once; you may need less (or more) of the specified amount, since flour has different properties. We can make up for the lack of flour, but we cannot correct the excess. Steep dough will be difficult to rise and the buns will not be tender.

12. STEP 12

    

    Mix the dough first with a spoon. It still turns out very viscous.

13. STEP 13

    

    Stir soft butter into the dough.

14. STEP 14

    

    Add the rest of the flour in small portions, mixing the dough with your hands each time. Watch its consistency. At first, the dough will noticeably stick to your hands, but as you knead, it will begin to lag behind the walls of the bowl better and become denser.

15. STEP 15

    

    The dough turns out soft, sticking to your hands quite a bit. Grease the bottom and sides of the bowl with vegetable oil and lay out the dough. Cover it on top with a towel or cling film and leave it in a warm place to rise.

16. STEP 16

    

    After 30-40 minutes, punch down the dough. I did this directly in the bowl, gently pressing the dough against the sides. Leave the dough to rise further for about 60-70 minutes.

17. STEP 17

    

    When the dough has increased in volume by 2.5 times, you can start cutting it.

18. STEP 18

    

    Place the dough on a table sprinkled with flour. Divide the dough into equal parts. Roll each piece of dough into a log. The number of pieces will depend on the desired size of the buns. I got 14 koloboks weighing about 70 grams each.

19. STEP 19

    

    You can bake the buns on a baking sheet or in any convenient form. Cover the bottom of the baking dish with parchment and grease the sides with vegetable oil. Place the formed buns at some distance from each other. Leave the buns to proof for 20-25 minutes.

20. STEP 20

    

    In a small bowl, beat the yolk with milk until smooth.

21. STEP 21

    

    Brush the tops of the proofed buns with the yolk mixture.

22. STEP 22

    

    Bake the pastry in an oven preheated to 180C for about 20 minutes until golden brown on top.

23. STEP 23

    

    Cool the finished buns completely and serve. Bon appetit!

This recipe made some lovely buns. I added flour according to my feelings, it took a little less than the author of the recipe. Kneaded the dough for 10 minutes. The molding is also not like the author’s; I prefer twisted buns. The recipe is simple, the buns turned out nice, rosy, delicious, just right for a cozy family tea party.

I love baking! I can do it in the middle of the night! Buns, pies, pizza (in your own way), it doesn’t matter. “If you don’t want to sleep, get busy!” That’s my slogan! My friend is sleeping, even drive in on a tank! And I'm cooking. But in the morning I see how her eyes sparkle and her mood lifts! Who said that the way to a woman's heart is not through her stomach? It all starts with breakfast and ends with dinner (necessarily in some style), the main thing is not to repeat yourself! It’s not difficult to simply cook, but to cook from the heart is two different things! Hi all!
