When making buns, most people use only the standard recipe. Why not use some tricks?
You can add several ingredients to the flour to help the buns stay soft for a long time.
Milk, water or yogurt
Adding liquid ingredients like milk, water or yogurt to your bun dough is a key step to creating softness.
Milk gives the buns a delicate flavor and unique texture, while yogurt adds tenderness and moisture. Feel free to experiment with combinations of different liquid components to achieve the perfect balance.
Oil
Oil is another key ingredient that is responsible for the softness of the buns. Adding vegetable oil or butter to the dough enriches it with fat, which makes the buns more tender and moist.
Vegetable oil gives a lighter flavor, while butter adds creaminess. Of course, it is important to remember the balance here, because during cooking it is possible to overdo it and ruin the buns.
Eggs
Eggs increase the nutritional value of the product and give it elasticity. Yolks give the buns a richer color and texture, and whites make them more elastic and durable. However, it is worth remembering that the shelf life of buns decreases after adding eggs.
Sugar
Sugar not only gives the buns a sweet taste, but also moisturizes them, making them softer and more flavorful.
Adding sugar also helps create an attractive crust on the surface of the buns and gives them a beautiful golden color.
