SWEET BUNS - MILK BUNS

Steps:

• First lets activate the yeast. This step is the most crucial to make bread or bun. Add 1 tsp sugar and 1 tsp yeast to 1/2 cup luke warm milk (105-110 F). Mix it and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. If the yeast is alive it will start foaming. If it does not, please do not proceed.
• Take the all purpose flour (maida) in a mixing bowl. Add salt, butter, egg, sugar and the yeast mixture. If you do not want to add egg, add an additional 2 tbsp of milk.
• Mix together. It will be a very sticky dough initially.
• Another important step in making bun is the kneading part. You need to knead the dough for a good 10-15 minutes. Add 1-2 tbsp of maida to help with kneading.
• After a minimum 10 minutes of kneading, the dough will become soft and less sticky.
• Apply some oil over the dough, let it proof in a bowl for 2 hours. The dough will become double in size.
• Punch the dough and roll it gently. Divide into 9 equal parts. Take each part and roll it into a bun. Roll it to get a smooth bun.
• Place each rolled bun in a baking tray. Leave enough space in between for the second proofing of dough. Using a brush, apply some milk on the top to prevent it from drying. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 degree F) and bake for 20 minutes. The top should become golden brown. Each oven is different and the time taken may be 1 or 2 minutes more or less.
• As soon as you remove from the over, apply some butter over the top. Cover with the damp cloth and let the buns cool for 15-20 minutes. This is also important to make the buns soft. After that you can enjoy these soft buns.

• Place about 2 tablespoons of your favorite bun filling in the center of the dough circle, and bring the edges of the dough up over the filling.
