Sesame buns in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the sourdough. Heat the milk to a temperature of forty degrees. This can be done both in a microwave oven and in a saucepan on the stove. If you check with your hand, the milk should seem warm, that is, it should be slightly higher than body temperature. Pour in the yeast and mix. Leave for ten minutes.

2. Step 2:

   

   After the specified time, the sourdough should be ready in one hundred percent of cases. Yeast should start working, as a result of which a lush cap with a pronounced yeast smell forms on the surface of the milk. If this did not happen, I strongly recommend choosing other, working yeast.

3. Step 3:

   

   In a bowl, sift the flour twice through a sieve. To improve the quality of the dough, add salt.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour the sourdough into a bowl and mix the dough. While it is convenient, I mix with a spoon, and then I start kneading with my hands. Knead for at least ten minutes.

5. Step 5:

   

   Cover the bowl with the dough with cling film and put it in a warm place for half an hour so that the dough rises. I do this. I put a glass of water in the microwave and heat it at maximum power for one minute. I remove the water and send a bowl of dough there. That is, the dough fits in a switched-off microwave oven.

7. Step 6:

   

   The dough should increase in volume. Roll an even bar and cut it into six equal parts with a knife.

8. Step 7:

   

   Next, form six smooth, slightly flattened buns from the pieces. Just wrap the edge of the dough inside the ball and lightly roll the workpiece on the table, giving it an even shape. Place the buns on a baking sheet greased with butter or covered with baking paper. Cover and leave in a warm place for another ten minutes.

9. Step 8:

   

   Mix egg yolk with milk. Prepare a cooking brush.

10. Step 9:

    

    Grease the buns with yolk from all sides and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake the buns in a preheated oven to two hundred degrees for half an hour.
