Buns made with milk powder and yeast

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake buns with milk powder and yeast? Prepare your food. Take whole milk powder, without vegetable fats. A substitute may not produce the same result. Pay attention to the dry yeast you use for the dough. This recipe uses fast-acting ones; they are not dissolved in liquid, but immediately mixed with flour.

2. STEP 2

   

   First, melt the butter so it has time to cool. Use any convenient method - in the microwave or on the stove. I heat it on the stove, in a saucepan.

3. STEP 3

   

   Take warm water, temperature about 38-40 degrees, it should be pleasantly warm to the touch. Pour water into the milk powder and stir well to break up any lumps. To reduce lumps, pour water into the milk rather than pour it into the water. Stir vigorously with a spoon. You will get real milk.

4. STEP 4

   

   Take a large bowl and sift the flour into it. Add sugar, a pinch of salt and dry yeast to the flour, mix. Once again, I note that here I use fast-acting yeast, it is mixed with flour. Otherwise, you will need to dissolve the yeast in the milk in the previous step and wait for it to activate. Usually all instructions are written on the package with yeast.

5. STEP 5

   

   Make a well in the flour in the center. Break the egg into a separate bowl and beat lightly with a fork. Pour in a little beaten egg, literally a dessert spoon - just enough to brush the top of the buns. Pour the rest of the egg into the flour. Pour in the cooled butter. Start kneading the dough with a spoon, while pouring milk into it.

6. STEP 6

   

   Knead the dough first with a spoon, and when all the liquid is mixed with flour, start kneading with your hands. The dough will be quite sticky, I added a little flour, literally a spoon, so that it could be kneaded. Do not add a lot of flour, the dough may become tough and the baked goods will not be tasty.

7. STEP 7

   

   Knead the dough until smooth and homogeneous. This will take very little time - about 5 minutes. Gather the finished dough into a ball. Cover the bowl with the dough with a towel or film and put it in a warm place for an hour and a half.

8. STEP 8

   

   The dough should double in size. If it comes in an hour, great. Mine grew one and a half. Knead the risen dough a little - this will remove excess air from it.

9. STEP 9

   

   Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. If you want to make large buns, then use 6. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

10. STEP 10

    

    Roll each part into a ball. Place the pieces on a baking sheet, leaving space between them.

11. STEP 11

    

    Brush the top of each bun with the reserved egg. Cover the baking sheet with a towel. Leave them to rise for 20 minutes. During this time the buns will increase slightly in size.

12. STEP 12

    

    Preheat the oven to 180°C, top-bottom mode. Bake the buns for 20-30 minutes. The exact time depends on the features of your oven. Focus on appearance - they should become ruddy. Cool the finished buns on a wire rack. Bon appetit!

I bake this apple pie using powdered milk. I'll try the buns. Thanks for the idea.

I’ve never used milk powder in baking before, but I saw a recipe for buns made with milk powder and yeast and wanted to make it. They look very appetizing in the photo. I needed a handful more flour (high grade flour with a high protein content). I sifted the flour twice. I took the egg category C1. The dough turned out very tender, elastic, soft. It took about 1 hour 20 minutes to rise. I baked the buns for 20 minutes (10 minutes on the bottom level of the oven and 10 on the top). While they were preparing, there was simply a wonderful aroma of fresh baked goods in the apartment! The buns turned out fluffy and rosy. They are porous and soft on the inside, and have a smooth crust on the outside. The taste is moderately sweet. The buns turned out great. katushafin, thank you very much for the wonderful recipe!
