Buns with condensed milk

Description

This dough is very difficult to knead by hand—it will take about 30 minutes, so I recommend using a food processor. The key feature of yeast-based baked goods is their lightness, which can be achieved through gentle kneading and letting the dough rise in a warm place. For the filling, you can use condensed milk, fruit puree, jam, or preserves. Serve with tea or coffee.
