Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to knead rich yeast dough for buns? Prepare the necessary ingredients. The dough will be prepared using the sponge method, but using a quick dough. To do this, the milk needs to be heated to about 30 degrees. It should be warm, but not scalding. In milk that is too hot, the yeast will die, but in cold milk it will not activate.

Step 2

Step 2
Pour sugar, dry yeast, a tablespoon of flour, and warm milk into a bowl.

Step 3

Step 3
Mix everything thoroughly so that the dry ingredients dissolve and the yeast disperses. Place the bowl with the dough in a warm place for about 15 minutes; there is no need to cover it with anything on top. After the specified time, a cap should appear on the surface of the mixture. This will mean that the yeast has activated. Meanwhile, melt the butter in the microwave or in a water bath and cool it to room temperature.

Step 4

Step 4
Beat the egg into a deep bowl, pour in the melted butter, pour over the dough. Mix everything thoroughly. Add salt.

Step 5

Step 5
Start adding the sifted flour in parts, stirring the dough with a spoon each time. The flour must be sifted. This will make the dough more tender. You may need a little more or a little less flour than the specified amount, depending on the consistency of the dough. It should turn out elastic, soft, slightly sticky. Place in a bowl, cover with a towel and place in a warm place for an hour.

Step 6

Step 6
When the dough has risen, punch it down and let it rise again. There is no need to knead the dough anymore. It is ready to bake buns.
