Bun Ingredients

Method

Bun Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add flour, salt, and vegetable oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  5. 5

    Shape the Buns

    Punch down the dough and divide it into equal pieces. Shape each piece into a bun and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  6. 6

    Second Rise

    Cover the shaped buns with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Bake the Buns

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the buns for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
