Tips & Tricks

  1. If you plan to freeze the buns, cut them in half first so they are easier to use later.

  2. Use extra flour while kneading to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands or the surface.

  3. Experiment with different seeds on top, such as sesame or poppy seeds, for added flavor and texture.

FAQS

  1. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of white flour?

    Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour, but the texture may be denser. You might need to adjust the water quantity slightly.

  2. What is curcuma powder?

    Curcuma powder is another name for turmeric powder. It gives the buns their golden color and adds a subtle earthy flavor.

  3. Can I make these buns gluten-free?

    You can try using a gluten-free flour blend, but the texture and rise may differ. Ensure the blend is suitable for bread-making.

  4. How do I store the buns?

    Store the buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze them for longer storage.

  5. Can I skip the plant milk brushing step?

    Yes, but brushing with plant milk helps the seeds stick and gives the buns a nice golden finish.
