Kitchen appliances and utensils: measuring cup, plates for ingredients, a deep bowl for mixing dough, a whisk, a sieve for sifting flour

Ingredients

Step cooking

1. Pour 250 milliliters of fresh milk into a deep bowl, add 25 grams of fresh yeast mashed with fingers into it and stir well with a whisk.
   
2. Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla sugar and a little flour, about 150 grams, and mix everything well.
   
3. Break 2 chicken eggs into a separate bowl and beat well with a whisk.
   
4. In a bowl with eggs, add 100 grams of sugar, mix a little, then add a pinch of salt and mix everything well again.
   
5. Add 100 grams of previously melted butter to the eggs. Make sure that the melted butter does not turn out to be hot, as eggs may curl from heat.
   
6. Pour 0.5 teaspoon of nutmeg.
   
7. Mix everything well and combine with the milk mass.
   
8. Stir and gradually add the remaining 450 grams of flour through a strainer without stopping mixing.
   
9. When the dough thickens well, knead it thoroughly with your hands. The dough should turn out light and stick well from the bowl.
   
10. We take a separate bowl, slightly moisten it with sunflower oil and also slightly wet our hands.
    
11. We put the dough in a clean cup so that it fits. We cover the bowl with the dough with a kitchen towel and leave to approach for 1 hour.
    
12. Next, you need to release all carbon dioxide from the dough, for this you need to knead the dough - roll the dough from the edge into the middle in a circle.
    
13. Cover the dough with a towel and leave to rest for another 1 hour. During this time, the dough should increase 3-4 times in size. You can bake products!
    

Housewife tips

• If there is no butter at hand, it can be replaced with margarine or even liquid vegetable oil, but odorless.
• It so happens that for some reason the dough rises poorly or does not rise at all. Do not worry, try adding 1-2 tablespoons of confectionery baking powder to it.
• To make the buns even tastier, add raisins, dried apricots or any other dried fruits to the dough.
• To add an unusual taste to the dough, you can add a few spoons of cocoa or even melted chocolate.
• Yeast dough can be cooked completely without eggs, just replace them with sour cream or butter, comparable in volume.
• If the dough burns on top during baking, then cover it with special baking paper or turn off the top heat.
• Pressed yeast is much slower than dry yeast, but the aroma of baking from them is deep.
