Buns:
1. We start by preparing the dough for the buns. In a large bowl, we add 500 g of white flour, 10 g of salt, and 7 g of dry yeast. It is important to ensure that the yeast is well distributed in the flour. In another container, we heat 250 ml of lukewarm water, but not hot, so as not to destroy the yeast. We dissolve the yeast in the water and, if desired, we can add a tablespoon of sugar to activate the yeast faster. We let the mixture sit for a few minutes until foam forms on the surface.
2. Once the yeast is activated, we pour the water mixture into the bowl with flour and salt. We start mixing with a wooden spoon until the ingredients come together. Then, we move on to kneading. We grease our hands with a little oil and knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. If necessary, we can gradually add a little extra flour, but we must be careful not to thicken the dough too much.
3. We form a ball from the dough and place it in a greased bowl, covering it with a damp towel. We let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in volume. This process is essential for obtaining fluffy and airy buns.
4. After the dough has risen, we take it out of the bowl and knead it again for a few minutes to remove the air. We divide the dough into portions of about 80-100 g, forming round balls. We place the dough balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between them to expand.
5. We cover the tray with a towel and let the buns rise again for 30-40 minutes. During this time, we preheat the oven to 220°C.
6. Before placing the buns in the oven, we can brush them with a beaten egg to achieve a golden and appetizing crust. If desired, we can sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds on top for a more attractive appearance.
7. We bake the buns for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn golden and sound hollow when lightly tapped on the bottom. Once they are done, we take them out of the oven and let them cool on a rack.
These buns are perfect to be served alongside various fillings or simply with butter and jam. Experiment with different ingredients and flavors to find the perfect combination for your taste!
