Jam buns - tricks and tips
• Before you start forming buns, give some time to yeast or butter dough, so that it would rise. Hold the curd or unleavened dough in the refrigerator beforehand.
• If the dough breaks, add a little water or milk. And if it sticks to your hands, then add flour.
• Jam can be used both store-bought and self-made.
• Pre-sifted flour should be added to the dough.
• To prevent the buns from drying out during cooking, place a container of water on the bottom of the oven.
• To prevent baking from sticking to parchment paper, grease it with vegetable oil. If, nevertheless, the buns stick, then in a hot state put them together with paper on a wet towel.
• To prevent finished buns from quickly becoming hard, store them in the refrigerator or in a bag.
