What could you bake with sour cream dough?
Technique for making buns
After two hours, properly prepared yeast dough should double in size. How to check its readiness? Just apply pressure with your finger and if the mark does not fill within five minutes, then it is ready to roll out.
By the way, you should prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in advance.
Now it is necessary to form the buns as quickly as possible so that the yeast dough does not lose its quality and structure. Neat lumps of yeast dough should be placed loosely, at a short distance from each other, so that they do not stick together during the cooking process. After this, the sour cream buns are greased with the yolk whipped with sugar and left for some time at room temperature.
The oven should be preheated to 190 degrees. The buns bake quickly - half an hour is enough for the tops to brown and the dough inside to bake well.
Preparing the dough
In order to prepare yeast buns with sour cream, you need to prepare the appropriate ingredients. This:
- One tablespoon of dry yeast.
- Boiled water at room temperature - half a glass.

The recipe is not at all complicated, and I wrote it down step by step, since I make the buns personally. I advise you not to put large pieces of filling inside so that it does not leak out.
Components: 250 gr. sour cream; 100 gr. Sahara; 150 gr. margarine; 1 PC. chickens egg; 3 tbsp. flour.
Cooking algorithm:
- Mix flour and margarine together and chop into crumbs. Beginners may not be able to wield a knife, so you can grind the mass with your hands.
- Sour cream needs to be mixed together with sugar. Let the mixture sit until it completely dissolves, and then add flour.
- Chicken The egg also needs to be beaten. Then add it to the dough mass. I'm making a batch. It should hold its shape, but you shouldn’t make it too dense. The ideal knead is one that you press with your finger, and a hole immediately appears.
- You need to use it either immediately or immediately put it in the refrigerator until the right time.
Well, very tasty buns with sour cream and yeast
This recipe for making delicious and aromatic buns is not much different from the previous method, except for one small but very significant trick. The dough is prepared in the same way - you can buy a special yeast base in the store, from which you need to roll out a layer and form small medallions. For such buns you will need rich and thick sour cream.
A small depression is made in each yeast round into which sour cream is placed. The edges are tightly pinched and you can put a little more sour cream on top of the bun. The baking sheet is greased with a small amount of vegetable oil - parchment will be inappropriate here, since during the cooking process syrup will be released, which can directly glue the bun itself to the paper.
Useful tips from Ivan
To make a sour cream mixture tasty, you should know some tricks and apply them in practice. This is exactly what I will tell you about below:
- Don’t think that sifting the flour mixture and baking powder before adding the ingredients to the batch is a stupid task. In fact, this simple manipulation allows you to enrich the composition with oxygen and make the baked goods soft. In this case, the yeast will start working faster. Sifting is a mandatory process that is important to perform before kneading the dough.
- Before adding the mixture to the total mass, you need to mix the dry ingredients together. Vanilla, cocoa, milk powder, cinnamon, starch - all this needs to be mixed with a small amount of flour. Thanks to this, there will be no lumps in the batch, and it will take much less time to eliminate them.
- Add to the grease for chicken buns. egg, a little water, sugar, so the baked goods will become shiny and beautiful. Beat the mixture better, this will have a great effect on the result.
- If you are lucky and have a bread machine in your kitchen, then making sour cream dough will be even easier. Select the desired program on your device. The bread maker will do all the kneading work for you. This device turns out to be very convenient when you need to work with yeast composition.
- As a rule, sour cream dough is prepared with the addition of dry yeast. This component is very easy to use, available for purchase and provides excellent volume. You can make a batch with water, milk, kefir or sour cream. It is worth adding chickens to the composition. eggs, sugar and fats.
- Take all products at room temperature for kneading. It is best to leave the dough alone for a while to allow it to increase in volume. In this case, the buns will be airy.
- Using homemade sour cream dough with yeast, you can make different types of buns: horns, spirals, knots, leaves, pies. You can put jam or some fillings that you personally like inside the buns.
- As for the design, the rolls should not be placed next to each other on a baking sheet. You need to leave a distance between them so that the baked goods have the opportunity to rise.
The buns will become fluffy and airy. Cover them with grease and sprinkle with sesame seeds, cumin or poppy seeds.
To understand that the buns are ready, you need to look when a brown crust appears on them.
In fact, it’s impossible to give an exact baking time, since everyone’s oven is different, so rely on your personal discretion when checking the rolls for doneness.

What recipe do you use for your buns?
Cooking step by step:
We make a depression in the center and pour warm (not hot, but pleasantly warm) milk into it. Add one chicken egg. Mix everything with your hand or a spoon to moisten the flour.
When you get flour lumps like this, you can add soft butter. We begin kneading the dough by hand or using a dough mixer (bread machine).
After 1 hour, the dough will rise – it will have at least doubled in volume. For me, the process was not very active - probably the yeast I found was not the freshest, although the deadlines on the packaging were quite acceptable.
