Buns and rolls

Yeast buns and filled rolls are the coziest kind of baking: a milk-based dough, a couple of hours to rise, and golden pastry with your tea. This section collects cinnamon rolls with custard, sugar-cinnamon snails, rich yolk brioche and pirozhki with sweet and savory fillings.

Every recipe gives exact measurements, proofing times and the tricks that make enriched dough fluffy - how to wake up yeast, why the dough should stay soft, and how to slice a roll with a thread so the swirls keep their shape.
