Fluffy Raisin Buns with Citrus Glaze

The buns are airy, soft, tender, sweet and very tasty! Both children and adults like these buns. Good for breakfast with almost any drink. Many housewives are afraid to cook with yeast dough, but I tried to film it in detail so that everything works out for you. Most of the time is spent on rising the dough, proofing, and the buns are baked very quickly. They will be soft on the second day, the orange glaze will not only decorate them, but will give a soft taste and aroma of your favorite citrus. Try it!

Add 1 tsp to the yeast. sugar /from the total volume/, mix.

Step 3

Step 3
Pour the heated milk (slightly warm 35-38 degrees) into the mixture of yeast and sugar, stir a little and leave for 10 minutes. Partial dessert or tsp. Leave the milk for greasing.

Step 7

Step 7
Easy to mix. This is how it should turn out.

Step 8

Step 8
Pour the sifted flour into a separate deep bowl and make a well. Pour in the mixture of liquid ingredients, knead the dough, kneading with your hand.

Step 9

Step 9
At the end of kneading, add the cooled butter, continuing to knead.

Step 10

Step 10
Knead the dough for 10-15 minutes. At first it will be smooth and light, then it will start to stick to the bowl and hands. To make kneading easier, sometimes dip your fingers in vegetable oil. Yeast dough loves your hands very much — try it! At the end of kneading, the dough will come together into a ball, become smooth and will not stick to the walls of the bowl. For convenience, you can knead on the table.

Step 11

Step 11
Grease a bowl with vegetable oil, round the dough, place in the bowl and cover with a napkin. Leave to rise for 1 — 1.5 hours in a warm place./I heat the oven at minimum temperature — for me it’s 50 degrees. I turn it off, let it cool a little with the door slightly open and place the bowl on a wire rack on the 2nd lower level. Ideally, the temperature should be 35 degrees. When there is not much dough, you can use a slow cooker./

Step 12

Step 12
While the dough is rising, prepare the raisins: Pour boiling water over the raisins for 15 — 20 minutes, rinse, and dry on a towel.

Step 13

This is how the dough came together after 1 hour and 15 minutes. It is ready when it has increased in size by 2.5 times and is about to begin to fall off.

Step 14

Step 14
Lightly dust the board with flour and turn out the dough, lightly shaping it into a roll. Divide the dough into 16 parts, about 60-65g. Round each piece by tucking the dough down.

Step 15

Step 15
Cover with film to prevent the dough from drying out.

Step 16

Step 16
Forming buns: Dust a board with a little flour, lightly press a round piece of dough into a flat cake, and easily roll it out to a thickness of about 5mm. Brush the flatbread with soft butter, sprinkle with raisins /about 1 tbsp, divide the whole thing into 16 equal parts/.

Step 17

Step 17
Roll the flatbread into a tight roll, pinch the seam and roll the roll a little on the table. Cut the roll lengthwise with a sharp knife, slightly short of the edge. Turn the edges cut side up.
