Baking yeast buns
Wrapping, as well as finishing, require a careful approach. You cannot twist strips of text at random. To decorate them beautifully, you need to be smart. An experienced cook can give products an unusual and attractive shape in a matter of seconds.
Not everyone can bake their own twisted buns with original patterns. But in reality, no special skill is required here. It is enough to follow every step of the recipe to achieve an effect that amazes everyone. The shape of the buns will be perfect. The ingredients are as follows :
- 250 ml milk;
- 100 g sugar;
- 2 chicken yolks;
- 0.5 teaspoon salt;
- 100 g butter;
- package of vanilla sugar;
- 1 kg flour;
- 25 g yeast.
Another chicken yolk and 30 ml of milk will be needed to grease the buns. If you intend to make shaped buns, you should definitely learn how to wrap them correctly. The work is carried out as follows :
- Rolls made from yeast dough begin to be prepared with dough for kneading. The milk is heated to room temperature, yeast is added to it and completely dissolved. Enter 2 tbsp. l. granulated sugar and mix. You should get a homogeneous mixture. Add a tablespoon of flour into it and mix.
- Cover the dough with a towel and move it to a warm place. It should stand for 15 minutes. At this time, heat the butter and allow it to cool.
- Beat two chicken eggs into the oil.
- Add sugar and mix. It is better to do this with a whisk.
- Add vanilla sugar, sifted flour and salt. Flour must be added gradually to make the dough fluffy.
- Mix thoroughly with a spoon, after which all that remains is to knead with your hands.
- Cover the yeast dough with a towel and leave to rise for 40 minutes in a warm place. You can wrap it in film. During this time, the volume becomes twice as large.
This is followed by the formation of buns. The recipe for preparing dough for buns is the same, but they can be shaped in different ways. Each recipe has its own characteristics, so you should not deviate from the algorithm of actions.
Nothing pleases the eye more than beautiful pastries. There are different methods for folding dough for pies and bagels with filling. Even people who do not have much experience in cooking enjoy sculpting some intricate figure like a rose, for example.
Basketry
This form of buns is very popular. The finished products look very appetizing. How to give a beautiful shape :
- The braid can be either large or not very large. If a large size is provided, then the dough should be divided into 2 or even 3 parts. Each of them needs to be kneaded.
- Subsequently, they are divided into three bundles and rolled out. They are braided in the form of a pigtail. The remaining braids are performed in the same way.
- Mix milk with chicken yolk in a cup. There is no need to beat them. It is enough to ensure that the mixture becomes homogeneous.
The surface of the dough is greased with the mixture and sprinkled with sesame seeds, sugar, and poppy seeds. During molding, products are given a clear shape; this can be done using special devices.
Pastries in the shape of heart and butterfly
Most often, children like buns with jam.
Adults will also enjoy such products, as will puff pastries. To form such baked goods correctly, you must follow the recommendations for wrapping the products. The dough is divided into parts. Roll out one half into a flat cake shape and grease with butter. Sugar is poured on top.
Next, you need to roll the cake and connect the edges of the dough. The resulting roll is cut lengthwise to form a heart. All that remains is to straighten it out. This pattern is also suitable for all other types of buns that you plan to make.
For a butterfly-shaped product, divide the dough mass into parts. Roll out and sprinkle with sugar. A roll is formed, after which it must be twisted into a rope. Connect the edges in the central part. Cut the roll 1 cm in the center and unfold the butterfly. Her wings should be turned to the sides. After this, you can consider the bun with sugar ready.

How to decorate pies
Decorating the “Flower” pie : roll out the layer into a round shape, place a bun of filling in the center. Carefully distribute the rest of the filling around the circle, leaving space from the edges and the central bun. Cover the top with another layer of dough. Using a small bowl or tea cup, press the edges around the center filling. Trim the outer edges with an openwork knife. Then evenly cut the dough with the filling that goes along the outer ring. Turn each “petal” slightly so the filling is facing up.

Children jump up to the ceiling with joy in anticipation of a miracle. Do you want to impress your family with your culinary skills? Then read how to properly make beautiful, fragrant, airy “Rosochki” buns with sugar.
In my sugar buns recipe, I use several molds: a slightly larger one (for tarts and cupcakes), and a slightly smaller one (for cupcakes). You can choose these molds or use one of them.
Kitchen appliances:

- cling film;
- parchment paper;

Cutting the dough “Pigtail” or “Spikelet”
The simplest option is “Pigtails” . A rectangle is cut out of the rolled out dough layer and a longitudinal cut is made in the center. Then, one edge is threaded through the resulting hole several times. This way the edges curl into a spiral. The filling is placed in the center.
"Pigtail with sausage" . Three sausages are connected at the top edges. Then a slice of sausage is placed between them. Intertwined like a braid. The right harness is placed between the left and the center, then the left is placed between the right (which is now on the left) and the center (which is on the right). Again, a slice of sausage is placed and the braiding continues.
Sausage in “Pigtail” dough . This delicacy is sometimes called “Obzhorka” in culinary shops. The sausage is placed in the center of the dough cake. Then the edges are stuck to each other, and the sausage wrapped in dough is cut into equal parts. Each polka is turned sausage side up and placed one after another on different sides from the middle. Place in the oven when half cooked. Sprinkle cheese, herbs on top, grease with mayonnaise or ketchup (optional). And finish baking until ready.
Beautiful bun “Spikelet”. This type of baking is simple to make and looks very beautiful. Roll out a thin layer, grease with vegetable oil or egg, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon (poppy seeds). We roll the roll, which we then cut with scissors slightly obliquely, as shown in the photo. We put the resulting “spikelets” into one large beautiful bun.
And this is a simple pigtail with poppy seeds. The sausage is covered with poppy seeds and cut with scissors, placing the petals on different sides.
As soon as I hear the word “buns,” I remember a phrase from the cartoon where Carlson says, “And here we are playing with buns.” Let's have a holiday, right in the middle of everyday life, bake ourselves some buns? And then, together with the children, enjoying fluffy pastries and hot chocolate, let’s go watch the cartoon “About the Kid and Carlson”? But first, let’s choose a recipe for yeast dough for them, roll it up beautifully, sprinkle with sugar and bake in the oven.
Buns with sugar and poppy seeds
If you love poppy seed baked goods, then you can use poppy seed filling along with sugar. You will get buns with sugar and poppy seeds. Personally, I love these buns. Let me tell you how to prepare them.
You can knead any yeast dough. Why any? Because during Lent it will be lean, but it can be rich with milk or sour cream. You can cook it with kefir and it will be as soft as feathers. You can make the dough with the addition of semolina, as is often done to improve baking. You can also prepare the dough using a sponge or straight method.
And remember, the more fat you use in yeast dough, the better the sponge method of preparing it.
If you've sorted out the dough, then the poppy seed filling is a topic for a whole article. There are several ways to prepare it. I like the way my parents taught me best. Poppy seeds need to be soaked for 3-5 hours in cold boiled water. After soaking, drain the water thoroughly and grind the poppy seeds in a mortar, first without sugar, and then with it added. As a result, we get a delicious sweet poppy seed filling.
