Sesame Yeast Buns

by Editorial Staff

Yeast rolls will not leave anyone indifferent. Soft, tender and so airy – it’s impossible to resist! There is little sugar in them, and they are served as snack bars. You can make them sweet by adding 2-3 times more sugar. The dough in milk and kefir is kneaded in a cold, safe way – very easily, but slowly, take some time. Add baking soda to the dough to neutralize yeast odor. The result will surprise and delight you.

  4. Separate 10 grams of butter and one yolk and leave to grease the buns.
    Combine the remaining egg white and another egg with soft butter (all foods at room temperature).
  5. Stir in the butter and eggs. If there are lumps, it’s okay, they will disperse in the test.
  6. Pour kefir at room temperature into the butter-egg mixture.
  7. Pour the milk-yeast mixture into the flour mixture, as well as a mixture of eggs, butter and kefir.
  8. Start stirring the dough with a spoon first.

  10. The dough rose and began to grow.
  11. Place the bowl of dough in the refrigerator for 1.5 hours. The dough will grow two to three times more. Buns can be shaped.
