Cheese buns from yeast dough
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. My mom shared this recipe for cheese buns made with yeast dough, which she learned from her friend working at a café. These buns are very popular there and are served with soups instead of bread. I've always loved them—they're fluffy and light, and you can easily eat three or four at once! Do give them a try. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
