Add the remaining warm milk and salt to the yeast. Mix everything until smooth.

Step 4

Step 4
Sift 500 g of flour into the yeast mixture. Knead into a sticky dough. Thanks to sifting, the flour will be saturated with oxygen, and the finished buns will turn out airier and fluffier.

Add vegetable oil and mix it well into the dough. It will no longer be so sticky.
