As soon as the thought of baking buns appears, many housewives begin to drive it away. Kneading, maturing and rising the dough, modeling, proofing again before baking and many more stages that require time and attention. Buns without yeast are much easier and faster to make. They can be sculpted, greased and baked immediately after kneading. Comfortable? Not that word!
Buns without yeast - general principles of preparation
If yeast is not added to the buns, then some kind of leavening agent is always added. This could be baking powder from packets or baking soda. In the second case, the product requires quenching. If this is not done, the baked goods and dough will have an unpleasant taste and smell. You can extinguish with any acid or fermented milk products, if they are present in the recipe.
What else is added to the dough without yeast:
• sugar, honey;
• dairy products;
• eggs or egg powder;
• flour;
• margarine, different types of butter.
It is advisable to use products of the same temperature. The dough is usually kneaded with a spoon, then with your hands. For aroma, vanilla is added to it; you can use other spices: cinnamon, ground ginger, saffron, zest. For taste, dried fruits, nuts, fresh fruits or berries, and jam are also placed in the buns.
It is better to make small products from dough without yeast that rise quickly in the oven and bake well. Before sending them to the oven, they need to be greased with milk, egg, syrup, and, if necessary, sprinkled with sesame seeds, sugar or poppy seeds.

2. Stir and add 3 tablespoons of flour (take 0.5 kg from the selected). Stir, cover with a lid or film and place in a warm place for 20 minutes to rise.
3.And while the dough is fermenting, you can have time to cook the custard. Place milk on the stove. Bring it to a boil and turn it off. At the same time, pour sugar, starch and egg into a saucepan
Mix thoroughly so that there are no lumps, this is important
4.Pour milk into the eggs in small portions and stir vigorously with a whisk so that the egg does not curdle and lumps do not form.
5.When all the milk has been added, put the saucepan on the fire. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. And this will happen quite quickly, in about three minutes.
6.When the cream becomes thick enough, remove it from the heat. Add vanilla sugar and butter to the hot mixture and stir vigorously. At first it will separate, but then it will become homogeneous.
7. Transfer the finished filling to a deep plate, cover with film end to end to prevent a crust from forming, and let cool.
8. Sift all the flour into a large container. Add salt to it and stir. Make a well in the middle and crack the egg into it. Also add both plain and vanilla sugar.
9.Pour in the remaining warm milk and stir the liquid ingredients with a spoon.
10.By this time, the dough will rise well, become porous and airy. Add it to the dough and start mixing with a spoon, gradually grabbing the flour.
11.When it is already difficult to mix with a spoon, place the mixture on the table and continue kneading with your hands. Do not mix in all the flour at once, leave a little for the final stage. Make sure the dough is almost non-sticky. Flatten it and add soft butter. Continue kneading, gradually adding the remaining flour.
12.Kneading will take about 15 minutes. The result should be a soft dough that sticks to your hands just a little.
13. Grease a bowl with vegetable oil and place the workpiece in it. Cover with a lid or film and place in a warm place for 1.5 hours to ferment.
14.When the dough has risen, place it on the table. Grease your hands with oil and divide the mixture into equal pieces. Approximately 12-13 pcs.
15. Roll each part into a ball and leave them on the table under the film for 15 minutes.
16. Cover a baking sheet with parchment. Place the ball on it and stretch it into a cake with your hands.
17.Take a container of a suitable size, dip its bottom in flour and make a depression in each flatbread where the filling will be placed.
18.Fill the niches with cooled cream (about 1 tsp at the top), smooth it out. Cover with film and leave to proof for 20-30 minutes.
19.Preheat the oven to 180º and bake the buns for 20 minutes. They will become beautiful and rosy.
20. Leave the finished buns to cool on a wire rack.
21.Prepare the glaze. Everything is simple here: you need to pour water and lemon juice into the powdered sugar and mix. You should get a medium thick mass that flows easily from a spoon.
22.Immediately brush the icing onto the buns using a brush. In this case, the baking should be slightly warm, not hot, otherwise the glaze will melt and drip.
23.Sprinkle the anointed areas with coconut shavings and let the cheesecakes dry. This glaze hardens quite quickly.
Look how beautiful the buns turn out. So tender and very tasty. This recipe is definitely worth making.
