Ingredients:
Dough
- 2 tsp dry active yeast
- 2/3 cup warm water
- 1.5 cups of premium flour, more if needed
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus extra for greasing
Supplements
- 4 teaspoons sesame seeds
plus 4 tsp. onion granules
- 4 tsp dried parsley
plus 4 tsp chopped chives plus 1/2 tsp dried dill
- 2 tablespoons of poppy seeds (pour boiling water over them and let them swell)
- Mix the seasoning into the dough
Preparation:
- In a small bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm water; stir to dissolve, and let sit for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking soda. Add the yeast and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon. If the dough is sticky, add flour a pinch at a time until a soft dough forms.
- Knead for about 5 minutes until soft and elastic. Adjust the stickiness by adding a little flour. If using a mixer or food processor, the dough will form a soft ball around the dough hook, and the sides of the bowl will come out clean. Add flour as needed to compact the dough.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight (the longer, the better). Afterward, season the dough.
- Preheat oven to 220°C, positioning the rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a heavy rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle measuring approximately 45 x 15 cm and no thicker than 0.3 cm. Fold the dough at the short ends, brushing off any excess flour to create three-layer buns. Roll again with a rolling pin. Prick the dough with a wooden skewer. Cut out circles with a pizza cutter.
Spread the dough on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly sprinkle salt from a height of 30 cm to ensure even distribution.
- Bake until lightly browned and crispy, 15-20 minutes. Check the buns several times during baking to ensure the outer buns aren't browning too much. If the buns aren't baking evenly, rotate them.
- Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter. Let cool on a wire rack.
Note
Yeast dough baked goods can be made airy by adding baking soda, which mixes flour and water well in the fat phase..
