High-Calorie Buns According to GOST Standards
Description
Perfect with tea and coffee. This recipe does not tolerate haste. For the buns to delight with their appearance and taste, you need to let the dough proof for the specified time. It is precisely after a long proofing that the buns’ structure becomes fine-pored and airy. During baking, the products do not tear. If, during proofing, your starter drops earlier than the specified time, you should begin kneading the dough without waiting for the time to end. Over-fermented starter can also negatively affect the quality of the baked goods. Can be served with tea or coffee.
