Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake beautiful, delicious buns from yeast dough with butter in the oven? Prepare all ingredients. Remove 20 grams of butter from the refrigerator in advance, and leave 15 grams in the refrigerator. Before purchasing 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.

Step 2

Step 2
In a bowl, mix warm milk and water, heated to a temperature of 37-40°C, dissolve sugar and yeast. I usually scatter the yeast over the surface without stirring so that it does not stick to the spoon. Leave in a warm place for 15 minutes. There should be a foam cap on the surface. This means that the yeast is active and you can knead the dough further. If this does not happen, baking will not work.

Step 3

Step 3
Sift flour and salt into another bowl. 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. Make a well in the flour. Pour in activated yeast and stir. If you have a kitchen machine, you can knead the dough in it.

Step 4

Step 4
During the process, add 20 grams of soft butter and continue kneading the dough for about 10 minutes. Then grease your hands with vegetable oil and continue kneading, stretching and folding the dough, for about 5 minutes. 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.

Step 5

Step 5
Form the dough into a ball, brush it with vegetable oil and place in a bowl.

Step 6

Step 6
Cover the bowl with a towel and leave the dough in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.

Divide the dough into 5-6 equal parts. Form each part into an even ball.

Step 8

Step 8
Place the pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet at a distance from each other. Cover with cling film and leave in a warm place to rise for 45 minutes. 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. Turn on the oven to 230 degrees in advance.

Step 9

Step 9
Sprinkle the risen buns with flour sifted through a sieve.

Step 10

Step 10
Using a sharp knife, make a small cut in the top of the workpieces. Place a slice of the remaining cold butter into each cut.

Step 11

Step 11
Bake the buns in an oven preheated to 230℃ for about 10-15 minutes until golden brown. I baked on top+bottom mode. If you wish, you can first place a baking sheet with water on the bottom of the oven. Read more about how to choose the right baking time and temperature in the article.
