Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 3 hours
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    Ingredients

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Since we have a rich dough, we will first prepare a sourdough. In warm milk (milk should be 30-40C), we breed yeast, add 1 tbsp. l. sugar and 170 g (about 1.5 tbsp.) flour. Stir thoroughly so that there are no lumps.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    The thickness of the dough turns out like pancakes. Cover the bowl with a sponge wrap or towel and leave to rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes. The sourdough should increase 2-3 times.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    While the sourdough is coming, let's do the pastry part. To do this, we divide the eggs into whites and yolks. We set aside the proteins, and add half of the total amount of sugar and a pinch of salt to the yolks.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Add the second part of the sugar to the soft butter. Rub the yolks with sugar and butter with sugar.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Now we connect our pastry part.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    And whisk until fluffy, it turns out a very fluffy airy tender mass, like cream.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    When the dough has come up (if suddenly in 40-60 minutes, the dough has not increased at all, then the yeast is bad and it is better to start the whole process again, since the dough simply will not fit), add the ground eggs with butter to it. Mix until smooth. Add vanilla tincture, if you use vanilla sugar, then just add it together with sugar.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Beat egg whites into a strong foam and add to the dough. Mix it up. Adding the sifted flour in small portions, knead the soft dough.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    The dough turns out very tender.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11.

    We set the finished dough in a warm place to rise for 40-60 minutes. It should increase 2-3 times.

  12. Step 12:

    Step 12.

    Wash the raisins, dry them and roll them in 1 tbsp flour. Add the raisins to the dough that has come up.

  13. Step 13:

    Step 13.

    Mix dried fruits into the dough, then leave it to rest for 15 minutes.

  14. Step 14:

    Step 14.

    When the dough has rested, we form buns or rolls from it. I made a plait of four lashes from part of the dough and made several small buns.

  15. Step 15:

    Step 15.

    I don't show you how to weave a braid in stages, since it will be difficult to show it in the photo, but if you want, then enter a braid of 4 strands in the search engine and there is even a video. And in general, it is not necessary to weave from 4, you can from 3, from 2.

  16. Step 16:

    Step 16.

    These are the little buns I still got. We let them come up within 20-30 minutes.

  17. Step 17:

    Step 17.

    We also do it with a plait (we give it to come up). Before baking, the plait and buns are greased with egg and baked in a preheated oven to 180 C buns for about 15-20 minutes, and the plait for 30-40 minutes.

  18. Step 18:

    Step 18.

    Take it out of the oven and let it cool on the grill.

  19. Step 19:

    Step 19.

    The bun turns out to be very tender, the crumb is just airy, unfortunately the photo does not convey this, but it is very gentle and fragrant.

  20. Step 20:

    Step 20.

    It is better to cut after complete cooling. And we serve it to the table. Help yourself!

This dough makes a wonderful pastry, not only buns can be baked from it, but also beautiful cakes will turn out. If you want to make cakes from this dough, you can additionally add 2-3 more yolks and increase the amount of butter, because we always have very rich cakes (but this is not necessary). The most important thing is that the dough would fit well, all the ingredients should be at room temperature and the kitchen should just be warm, well, the most important thing is high-quality yeast and a good mood!
