Airy, soft, and ruddy buns are not as difficult to prepare as it might seem. A little imagination when molding – and from ordinary yeast dough you will make beautiful and very appetizing pastries. The rolls are unsweetened and can be served instead of bread.
Cook: 2 hour
Servings: 5
Ingredients
Milk – 250 ml
Vegetable oil – 2 tbsp (+ for greasing the baking sheet)
Flour – 250 g (about 2 glasses with a capacity of 200 ml)
Sugar – 1 tbsp
Fresh yeast (pressed) – 15 g
of dry yeast – 5 g
Salt – 0.5 teaspoon
Egg (for greasing buns) – 1 pc.
and/or milk – 1 tbsp
Directions
Heat the milk slightly (up to 35-40 degrees) and dissolve the yeast in it. Add salt and sugar. Stir.
Pour in vegetable oil (I used olive oil).
While adding flour little by little, stir with a whisk until the dough is thick enough.
When the mixture becomes thick, finish kneading on the table. Knead the dough thoroughly, about 8-10 minutes.
The finished dough is quite soft, but keeps its shape well, does not stick either to the table or to the hands. Place the dough in a bowl, cover with cling film, and place in a warm place for 1 hour.
In an hour, the dough has almost tripled in size.
Knead the yeast dough and divide it into 10 pieces (about 60 g each). Roll each part into a ball and place it under the film.
To form a bun, roll out two pieces of dough with your hands into flagella about 20-25 cm long.
Twist the flagella together, fasten at both ends.
Twist the resulting flagellum into the snail. Hide one tip in the middle, and fold the other and hide it under the bun.
The braided bun is ready. Form the remaining 4 rolls in the same way.
Grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil and place the buns on it at a distance from each other. Leave to rise for 25-30 minutes. 15 minutes before the end of the proofing, turn on the oven, let it heat up to 200 degrees.
Brush the matching buns with beaten egg or milk, or a mixture of egg and milk.
Bake the buns at 200 degrees for 15-18 minutes, until they are golden brown.
