Whey buns

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake yeast buns with whey? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Melt the butter first and cool it to room temperature. Before buying yeast, read the instructions. Since there is fast-acting yeast that mixes with flour immediately. In the same recipe you will need yeast, which is diluted with liquid. Read about the types of yeast and replacement methods in the article below the steps.

2. STEP 2

   

   Dissolve the yeast in warm whey heated to a temperature of 37-40℃. I usually scatter the yeast over the surface without stirring so that it does not stick to the spoon. Leave for 10 minutes for the yeast to activate and a fluffy cap to appear. If this does not happen, baking will not work.

3. STEP 3

   

   Beat the eggs with sugar, salt and vanilla until smooth. Read more about vanillin and how you can replace it in the article below the steps.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour the egg mixture, melted butter and vegetable oil into the active yeast. Mix thoroughly.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add the sifted flour in parts. It is important to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. This will make the buns softer and rise well during baking. Read more about flour in the article below the steps.

6. STEP 6

   

   Knead into a soft, elastic, non-sticky dough. If the dough is still sticky and you need even more flour than the recipe calls for, it is better not to overfill the dough with flour, otherwise the finished dough will be too dense and tasteless. Place the dough to proof. After rolling out, sprinkle the table and rolling pin with flour - the dough itself will take as much as it needs.

7. STEP 7

   

   Roll the finished dough into a ball, place in a bowl, cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for 1 hour to rise.

8. STEP 8

   

   Now prepare the ingredients for filling and greasing the buns. Melt the butter in a water bath or microwave and cool to room temperature.

9. STEP 9

   

   Knead the risen dough and roll it out onto a floured table into a rectangular layer. Brush the surface of the dough with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. If desired, sprinkle with more ground cinnamon.

10. STEP 10

    

    Roll the dough into a tight roll. You can divide the dough into 2 parts and make 2 rolls. In this case, the buns will be smaller.

11. STEP 11

    

    Cut the dough into 10-12 pieces.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place the pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment, cut side up, spaced apart. A separate article will help you choose parchment; the link is at the end of the recipe. Brush the top of the dough with yolk and leave for 15-20 minutes to rise. Bake the buns in an oven preheated to 180℃ for 20-30 minutes until golden brown. Read more about how to choose the right baking time and temperature in the article. The link is at the end of the recipe.

13. STEP 13

    

    Serve the finished sweet whey buns to the table immediately. Bon appetit!

After making the cottage cheese, I still had some whey left over. I decided to use some of it to make whey buns. Instead of vanilla sugar, I added a pinch of vanillin. I replaced the butter for the dough with the same amount of margarine. For the filling I used butter, of course. I used about 560 grams of flour. The dough was still a little sticky, but in order not to fill it with flour, I simply greased my hands with vegetable oil while kneading. Within an hour of rising, the dough had approximately tripled in size and was no longer practically sticky. I baked the buns (I got 10 pieces) in a cast iron frying pan (the bottom was covered with parchment) at 180 degrees for 30 minutes. The result was a real bun pie, beautiful and fragrant. The buns are very tender, soft as feathers. They are moderately sweet with a pleasant creamy taste. Maria, thank you very much for the wonderful recipe!

For the first time I decided to make buns with whey, I was inspired by your recipe. I also sometimes make cottage cheese at home when I have time, but it was always a pity to pour out this yellowish whey.. I was hesitant to use it, but you turned out such a beauty, and I decided: D Very The buns turned out delicious, and so fluffy, I didn’t even expect them! I did everything exactly according to your recipe, and at the end I sprinkled it with cinnamon - it went perfectly with coffee.
