Yield: 4 Servings
Preparation Time: 30 mins
Standing Time: 1 hr 30 mins
Cooking Time: 20 mins




Ingredients:

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup lukewarm milk
• 1 - 1 1/2 tbsp butter
• 4 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp tutti frutti

Method:

1. Take a lukewarm milk in a bowl. Add sugar to it and mix it. Sprinkle yeast to it. Mix it and keep it aside in a warm place. I generally keep it in a non heated oven.
2. Once this mixture is frothy, it is ready to use further.
3. Take a flour in a mixing bowl. Make well at center and add the above mixture along with water and salt.
4. Knead this till a soft dough. You can use spatula or a mixer with paddle attachment/hook or can do it with your hands. dough should be little sticky. Little water at a time can be added while kneading if required.
   
5. Dust the plain and clean surface with flour. Take a soft dough on this surface and knead it with your hand. 
6. Use butter while kneading. Kneading at this stage should be done very well and for atleast 10 mins till dough doesn't stick to your hand. Make sure dough should be moist enough. Do not add too much flour. Use flour only for dusting. Do not directly add it to dough.
7. Put a dough in a greased mixing bowl. Apply some oil on dough as well and cover it with a cling wrap or a damped cloth.
8. Follow usual bread making steps here. Rest this dough for 45 min to 1 hour till it gets doubled.
9. Once dough has got doubled, punch the air in it. Add tutti-frutti to dough and knead it only to mix them.
10. Make 4 even parts. Keep them in a greased and floured baking tray at small distance from each other.
11. Cover a tray and rest it for another 30 mins.
12. After 30 minutes, small balls have risen doubled and have come closer to each other.
13. Preheat oven at 375 degree F.
14. Apply Eggwash or only milk on dough with soft brush or a tissue paper. Bake for 18-20 mins until buns turns brown. Switch off the oven. Remove tray after 3-4 minutes.
15. Apply butter on top of each roll which makes them to shine and taste even better.
16. Your yummy home made Sweet Buns are ready.
