Buns
Description
It's best to spread the buns with buttercream once they have cooled slightly. Due to high temperature, the cream may curdle or simply run off the buns completely. It's important to achieve the effect where the buns are not just moistened, but have a generous layer of cream on the surface. The baked goods are ready. Serve at the table.

Step 1
1. Heat 250 ml of milk in a saucepan over the stove. Add 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 4 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir to combine. Let it cool slightly. The liquid temperature should be warm enough to hold your finger in it. For those with a thermometer—around 40°C.

3. Sift 2 cups of flour, adding 1 tsp of baking powder. Knead the dough. The dough will be liquid and sticky. I kneaded it with a mixer. Both yeast and baking powder are used in the dough. Baking powder can be substituted with baking soda (1/2 tsp) neutralized with vinegar or lemon juice.

4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise. This will take about 2 hours. You can speed up the rising process by placing the bowl with dough near a warm radiator.

11. Place the cut pieces onto a baking sheet (lined with parchment paper). The sugar will turn into caramel during baking. It sticks well to the baking sheet. To prevent the buns from sticking, use parchment paper well-greased with oil. After baking, quickly remove the buns from the paper.
