Fluffy Bun Recipe

Description

The recipe won't take much time. The pineapple juice gives the buns their sweetness. If you omit it, you can serve these buns with borscht or other dishes instead of bread. But you'll need to replace the juice with another liquid. This recipe yields a large batch of buns, enough for a big family and even some leftovers to treat guests. Store the buns in a bowl covered with a towel to keep them soft. The baking is done. Serve at the table.
