Easy How-To

Let’s Get Things Rising!

Alright, let’s dive right in! First, grab a big mixing bowl and toss in your flour, yeast, and sugar with, um, a pinch of salt—don’t skip this part. Seriously… it balances the flavors. Then, warm your milk—just a bit, not boiling—and mix it all together with the melted butter and the egg. You know, just keep stirring until it forms this sticky dough. It’s a bit of a workout, but totally worth it.

Good to Know

• Using fresh yeast? Be sure to check the expiry date—no one wants flat buns!
• Don’t be shy about letting the dough rise; a warm spot works wonders!
• Get creative! Toss in some nuts or dried fruits if you’re feeling adventurous.

Serving Ideas

• Serve them fresh out of the oven, maybe with a drizzle of extra toffee sauce on top.

Top Tricks

• If your dough feels too sticky while kneading, just sprinkle a little flour—but be gentle!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of apple?

Oh, totally! Go for your favorite apple variety. Just make sure they hold up well when baking. You want them to be sweet and tasty, right?

How do I know when the buns are done baking?

Good question! They should be golden brown—like a sunshine kind of color—and when you tap the bottom, it should sound hollow. That’s your cue!

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Definitely! Just prepare the dough, pop it in the fridge, and let it rise the next day… it’ll taste just as amazing!

What should I do if my dough isn’t rising?

Oh no! Make sure your yeast is alive and kicking—check that it’s fresh. And, um, try to find a warmer place for it to prove. Sometimes it just needs a little extra help.

How should I store leftover buns?

Keep them in an airtight container at room temp for a couple of days, or, you know, freeze them if you want to keep them longer!
