If you want a savory start to your day, nothing compares to the aroma of freshly baked buns for breakfast. This simple bun recipe is perfect for any cooking enthusiast, and the result will bring smiles to the faces of your loved ones. Here’s how to prepare these delicious buns step by step.

Ingredients:
- 500 g wheat flour (preferably type 650 for better taste)
- 7 g dry yeast (or 25 g fresh yeast)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (to activate the yeast)
- 250 ml lukewarm milk (not hot, to avoid killing the yeast)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter, for a richer taste)

Instructions:

1. Activating the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the dry yeast with sugar and lukewarm milk. Stir gently and let it rise for 20 minutes. You’ll know the yeast is activated when a foam forms on the surface.

2. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, place the flour and make a well in the center. This will become the nest for the yeast mixture. After the yeast has risen, pour the mixture into the well in the flour.

3. Adding the ingredients: Add the salt and olive oil. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to combine the ingredients, then start kneading with your hands. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. If it’s too sticky, you can add a little flour, but be careful not to overdo it.

4. Rising the dough: Form a ball from the dough and place it in a bowl greased with a little oil. Cover the bowl with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until the dough doubles in volume.

5. Shaping the buns: After the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface. Cut it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between them.

6. Baking: Cover the tray with a towel and let them rise for another 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C. Bake the buns for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden and sound hollow when tapped lightly on the bottom.

7. Serving: Let the buns cool on a wire rack. They are delicious served warm with butter and jam or even with cheese and tomatoes. These buns are perfect for a quick breakfast or even as a snack.

Practical tips:
- You can experiment with different types of flour, such as whole wheat or rye flour, to achieve a different texture and flavor.
- If you enjoy flavors, add dried herbs or seeds (such as sesame, poppy, or sunflower) to the dough for a special touch.
- Feel free to personalize your recipe by adding ingredients like shredded cheese or olives to the dough mixture.

These breakfast buns are not only easy to prepare but also versatile, perfectly tailored to everyone’s tastes. I invite you to try this simple recipe and enjoy a morning full of delicious aromas!
