Braided bun
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. Tasty, fragrant, beautiful pastries are always suitable for the table on holidays and weekdays. For those who already have experience working with yeast dough, this recipe will seem simple. I can tell beginners that the most important thing here is good-quality yeast. If you have dry yeast, use 5–6 grams, which is about three times less than fresh yeast. Serve warm or cooled. Perfect with tea.
