Soft fragrant buns with a crispy crust and a delicate middle are good for breakfast or an afternoon snack. They can be given to the child for school for a snack or taken with you to work and on the road.
Preparing items is easy. The dough is kneaded on kefir without yeast and does not require long kneading and proofing. Buns can be prepared in two versions – sweet or neutral. In the second case, simply exclude sugar, powder and vanilla in the recipe.
For those who do not like to bother with molding, it is allowed to make products with a classic round shape. We offer an interesting molding option, in which the buns become airy, with a layered structure. For the test, white wheat flour of the highest grade and kefir with a fat content of 2.5% are preferable. Butter can be replaced with high-quality margarine. If desired, aromatic additives can be added to the dough – vanilla, cocoa, zest, as well as sprinkled with powdered sugar, seeds or nuts.
