Ingredients You'll Need
(Full measurements in the recipe card below)
Yeast Mixture
- • 3/4 cup warm water — activates yeast
- • 1 tbsp sugar — feeds the yeast
- • 2 tsp active dry yeast — makes buns rise
Dough
- • 2 cups maida/flour — base of buns
- • 1 tsp salt — adds flavour
- • 2-3 tbsp oil — keeps dough soft
- • 1/4 cup water — only if dough is dry
Substitutions
| Ingredient | Swap |
|---|---|
| maida | whole wheat flour for higher protein |
| active dry yeast | instant yeast, skip proofing step |
| oil | melted butter for richer flavour |
⚠️ Do not use hot water for yeast - it will kill it. Warm water around 40C is perfect.
How to Make It — Step by Step
1
Proof the Yeast
Mix warm water, sugar and yeast. Let it sit for 10 minutes until it is frothy and bubbly.
2
Make the Dough
Add flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Pour in oil and mix until a soft dough forms. Add extra water only if needed.
3
Knead and Rest
Knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes until it is smooth. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
4
Shape the Buns
Punch down the dough and divide into 6 equal portions. Shape each into a smooth round ball and place on a lined baking tray.
5
Bake
Let the shaped buns rest for 20 minutes. Bake at 190C for 18 to 20 minutes until golden on top.
Tips for the Best Result
Proof Your Yeast First
Always dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water and wait 5 to 10 minutes until it turns frothy before adding flour. If it does not foam, your yeast is dead and the buns will not rise.
Do Not Over-Knead or Under-Knead
Knead the dough for at least 8 to 10 minutes until it is smooth and slightly tacky but not sticky. Well-kneaded dough gives you soft, fluffy buns with a good structure.
Add Water Gradually
The extra 1/4 cup of water is only added if the dough feels too dry. Humidity and flour brands vary, so adjust slowly to avoid a dough that is too wet to shape.
How to Store
๐งบ
Room Temp
Store baked buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
❄️
Refrigerator
Refrigerate in a zip-lock bag or airtight box for up to 5 days; warm briefly before serving.
๐ง
Freezer
Freeze fully cooled buns wrapped individually for up to 1 month; thaw and toast before use.
Frequently Asked Questions
QCan I use whole wheat flour instead of maida?
Yes, but the buns will be denser. Try a 50/50 blend of whole wheat and maida for a softer result.
QCan I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
Yes. Use the same quantity and you can mix it directly into the flour without proofing in water first.
QWhy did my buns turn out dense and not fluffy?
This usually means the yeast was not activated properly or the dough did not get enough rise time. Make sure the proofing environment is warm, not hot.
QCan I make these buns without oil?
Oil adds softness and keeps the buns moist longer. Skipping it will result in a firmer, drier bun.
