Step 1
1. I had some kefir left, which I decided to use for buns. It was 2.5% fat. So, gently warm the kefir, add baking soda and neutralize it with vinegar. Add salt and sugar to taste, and finally incorporate the flour.

2. Knead a firm, elastic dough. It should not stick to your hands, but shouldn't be too stiff either. Let it rest for a while (while you prepare the filling), then you can cut it and start shaping the buns.

3. Today I decided to treat my family with potato buns. For this, you need to boil the potatoes until cooked, and separately sauté some onions. Then mash the potatoes and mix in the fried onions. That's such a simple, yet very tasty filling.

4. Divide the dough into portions (I cut it with a knife), and roll each portion into a sausage shape. Then cut each sausage-shaped piece into smaller pieces. These will be the bases for our buns.
