Yeast dough buns in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake homemade buns from yeast dough in the oven? Prepare all products. Important! Measure all foods in one glass. This can be either a 200 gram glass or a large 300 ml mug. If your glass is small, then slightly reduce the amount of salt and yeast. It may take less or more flour, it depends on its quality. I also had butter and sugar left from the stated amount. I took a glass with a volume of 200 ml, I got 8 buns.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour warm water into a bowl, temperature about 37-38 degrees. This is the most comfortable temperature for yeast, its growth and activation. Water that is too hot will kill the yeast; if it is cold, it will not wake up. Add two tablespoons of sugar (the rest of the sugar is needed for sprinkling the buns), mix. Sugar is necessary to feed the yeast. Pour yeast into sweet water. Cover the bowl and leave for 15 minutes. Read about the intricacies of working with yeast in the article below the steps.

3. STEP 3

   

   During this time, the yeast should wake up and rise above the water with a cap. If this does not happen, the yeast is spoiled and needs to be replaced. Add salt and stir. Sift the first glass of flour. Sifting aerates the flour, which makes baked goods softer and fluffier. Mix the flour with a spoon. You will learn about the properties of flour by reading an article on this topic. Link at the end of the recipe.

4. STEP 4

   

   Sift the second glass of flour and mix again. This method of adding flour will prevent you from adding too much. The dough should be very soft, then the products made from it will be soft. After two glasses, add flour literally one spoon at a time so as not to over-mix it. It took me two and a half glasses. You may need less or more flour, check the consistency of the dough. You can read more about flour in a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.

5. STEP 5

   

   At the end, along with the last portion of flour, pour two tablespoons of vegetable oil into the dough. After this, you can knead the dough with your hands. Do this directly in the bowl.

6. STEP 6

   

   This dough does not need to be kneaded for a long time, just collect all the flour and butter from the bowl. The dough will be very sticky, as it should be.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cover the bowl with cling film, a towel or lid. Leave it to rise in a warm place for 40 minutes. During this time it will double in size.

8. STEP 8

   

   Knead the risen dough well in a bowl. It will decrease in volume. Cover the bowl again and leave again for 40 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   The dough will rise well again.

10. STEP 10

    

    Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface. Divide it into equal pieces. I got 8 pieces, if you measured the products with a large glass, you might get 12.

11. STEP 11

    

    Roll each piece into a ball. To do this, gather the edges of the workpiece towards the center and pinch them. Turn the seam side down and roll the ball in a circular motion.

12. STEP 12

    

    Form a bun. Roll out the ball into a layer about 5 mm thick.

13. STEP 13

    

    Lubricate the layer with vegetable oil using a silicone brush. Sprinkle with a tablespoon of sugar.

14. STEP 14

    

    Roll the tortilla into a roll, and then fold the roll in half. Bring the edges together and pinch well.

15. STEP 15

    

    Turn the roll over and make a cut with a knife, not reaching the end. Unfold the workpiece, as if opening it. You should end up with a heart-shaped bun like this.

16. STEP 16

    

    Form all the buns in the same way. Line a baking sheet with parchment. You can choose the right parchment paper by reading a separate article about the features of parchment, the link is at the end of the recipe. Place buns on a baking sheet. Leave space between them; the buns will grow during baking.

17. STEP 17

    

    Cover the baking sheet with a towel and leave for about 20 minutes. During this time, preheat the oven to 200°C, top-bottom mode. The buns will grow a little more in size.

18. STEP 18

    

    Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. The times are approximate, be guided by the operating characteristics of your oven. Read more about ovens at the end of this recipe. Yeast buns with sugar are ready. Bon appetit!

My buns made from yeast dough in the oven don’t quite look like hearts. But they are very tasty. I was so afraid to transfer the flour that, apparently, I didn’t report it. So the dough turned out to be too sticky, it seems to me. This is probably why the inner layers in the “hearts” stuck together, and the buns began to look like something incomprehensible. But their taste is excellent. They are moderately sweet and soft. I was very pleased that the next day, the buns remained just as soft. Thank you very much for the recipe! These buns are perfect for autumn tea drinking.

Thanks for the recipe! Tell me, does all the sugar from the recipe go into the dough (about 300g) or is this amount taking into account the topping of the buns themselves? Is there only 2 tablespoons in the dough?
