1 egg mixed with 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Step 1: Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This indicates that the yeast is active.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center.
Add the egg, egg yolk, activated yeast mixture, warm milk, and vegetable oil.
Gradually mix the ingredients with a spatula or your hands until a dough starts to form.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest in a warm place for 50-60 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
Step 3: Shape the Buns
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release air bubbles.
Divide the dough into equal portions (around 12-15 pieces, depending on your desired size).
Roll each portion into a ball, flatten it slightly, and place a teaspoon of apricot jam in the center.
Carefully gather the edges of the dough to seal the jam inside, shaping it back into a smooth ball. Place the buns on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, seam side down.
Step 4: Proof and Prepare for Baking
Cover the shaped buns with a kitchen towel and let them rest for another 20-30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
Brush the tops of the buns with the egg and milk mixture for a shiny, golden finish.
