Ingredients
150 ml milk (lukewarm)
70 ml water (lukewarm)
7 g instant yeast
12 g honey
400 g all-purpose flour
7 g salt
30 g unsalted butter (room temperature)
Instructions
In a bowl, mix lukewarm milk, water, yeast, and honey. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until slightly foamy.
Add flour and salt, then mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Incorporate the butter and continue kneading until fully absorbed.
Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1.5–2 hours or until doubled in size.
Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and shape into balls.
Flatten slightly and add desired filling (optional), then seal well.
Let the shaped buns rest for 20–30 minutes.
Heat oil to a steady medium temperature.
Fry buns until golden brown on all sides.
Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
Notes
Keep oil at a steady frying temperature to avoid burning or undercooking.
Fillings must be completely cooled before sealing into the dough.
For mini buns, divide dough into 20 portions (30–35 g each).
Best served fresh, but can be reheated in the oven to restore crispness.
