Step-by-step recipe with photos

Prepare lean yeast dough .
Roll the finished dough into a rope and cut the rope into several pieces, weighing 80 g.
Roll the dough pieces into balls and leave for 5 minutes.

Advice. You need to roll the dough into balls in the following way: flatten a piece of dough into a flat cake and bend the edges of the flat cake towards the middle, into the so-called “lock”. Place the balls with the “lock” side down and throw them up.

Roll out any ball with a rolling pin into a cake, 15 cm in diameter.
Grease the cake with vegetable oil using a brush and sprinkle with sugar (1-1.5 teaspoons of sugar per bun).

Advice. Oiled buns can also be sprinkled with dry poppy seeds, cinnamon or small raisins.

Roll the flatbread into a roll with the sweet side facing inward.

Fold the roll in half so that the twist is in the middle of the roll and press down lightly.

Using a knife, create a deep cut on the curve of the roll, without cutting 2 cm to the end.

And unfold the two resulting halves of the roll with the sweet side facing up (a heart-shaped bun comes out).

Place the buns on a greased baking sheet and let them proof.
After proofing, grease the buns with vegetable oil or strong sweet tea (only the smooth sides of the buns need to be greased, without touching the sugary layers).
Bake at 180?C for about 15-20 minutes.
Remove the finished buns from the baking sheet, place them in a saucepan or deep bowl, cover with a clean towel and let them “retreat” (the buns will become soft during this period of time) for about 10 minutes.

Bon appetit!
