You won’t buy any buns from the store again after having a taste of these buns, they are sweet, buttery, soft, eggless and fluffy. It’s not only super easy to make, but it’s also super tasty and addictive. In a little bowl, add three tablespoons of warm milk and add in sugar than the instant yeast then set aside for ten minutes for the yeast to be activated.
If you are using active yeast, you will add the yeast directly to the flour in a bowl and start making the dough. In a large bowl, add in flour, yeast, salt and milk powder then mix it well and make a well at the center. Add in condensed milk then start kneading the dough, bring the flour and milk together slowly with a spatula then transfer it to a work surface and knead it until it comes together then you will add in butter.
The moisture in this cake is what is going to make the dough super soft. Knead the dough for about 15 minutes while combining with then butter, all you are trying to do is develop the gluten through kneading the dough really well. Once done, place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and place it in a warm place for 45 minutes to one hour until the dough proofs well.
Take the dough out of the bowl once proofed and onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about two minutes then start dividing the dough. Your dough balls should be of the same size, roll them into a round ball shape and place them in an oiled 8 inches baking tin. Cover the dough and let it proof for the second time for 45 minutes then brush the top with milk.
Bake in 200 degrees Celcius preheated oven for about 15 minutes until the buns n are slightly golden brown on top. Brush the top with butter once they are out of the oven and what this will do is make them soft and shine. Set it aside tom cool then serve.
