Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make the most delicious and tender bun dough? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Sift the flour through a sieve 1-2 times in advance to enrich it with oxygen. Thanks to this, the finished dough and products made from it will be more airy and fluffy. You will learn how to work with yeast by reading the article at the end of the recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   First of all, let's prepare the dough. Heat the milk until warm (35-40 degrees) and pour into a spacious bowl. Add dry yeast, 2 tablespoons of sugar and 3-4 tablespoons of flour to the milk. Mix everything, cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for 15-20 minutes. When foam and bubbles appear on the surface, you can begin to work further.

3. STEP 3

   

   While the dough is rising, melt the butter and let it cool until warm.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour melted butter into the prepared dough. Add egg and salt. Stir.

5. STEP 5

   

   Gradually add sifted flour and knead the dough. You may need a little less or more flour. Focus on the consistency of the dough. Read about the properties of flour in the article at the end of the recipe. When the dough is already forming into a lump, you can grease your hands with vegetable oil so as not to add excess flour and not clog the dough.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cover the finished milk dough in a bowl with a towel and place in a warm place for 1 hour until it rises.

7. STEP 7

   

   When warm, the dough will quickly increase in size. You can start preparing the buns.

8. STEP 8

   

   I make buns with boiled condensed milk.

9. STEP 9

   

   Before baking, you need to let the buns stand in the pan for 15 minutes to rise, then brush the surface with yolk. How else you can grease the dough before baking, read the separate article at the end of this recipe.

10. STEP 10

    

    Bake the buns at 180 degrees for about 25-30 minutes. Time and temperature are approximate, use your oven as a guide. Read about the operation of different ovens in the article below the steps. Cook with pleasure!

It’s not for nothing that it’s called the most delicious and tender pastry for buns. The buns made from it really turned out amazing. The dough itself is soft, pliable, elastic, and very pleasant to work with. It does not stick to your hands, but it sticks together perfectly when forming buns. I used 470 grams of flour (high grade flour with high protein content). I used category C1 eggs. I just had boiled condensed milk and used it for the filling. The buns were baked in my oven for 35 minutes (the last 15 minutes on the top tier to help them brown better). The buns are simply magnificent: soft as feathers, tender, fluffy. In addition, they are aromatic and very tasty. Julia, thank you very much for the wonderful recipe!

The dough is excellent. I made it in a bread machine. I poured flour into the bread machine according to the recipe (for 500 grams of flour) Step 2 and step 3 - as described in the recipe. For the dough, I took 3 tablespoons of flour from the bread maker bowl. Then I poured all the remaining dry ingredients into the bowl, poured in the dough and the egg-butter mixture. I chose the “Basic” dough preparation mode - I have number 16. Panasonic SD2502 bread maker. After two hours I took out a magnificent dough, elastic and tender at the same time. I made a pie with irga. It flattened out perfectly on the baking sheet. Thank you so much for the recipe! I have never done such a test before.
