FAQ:
Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast? Yes, you can substitute instant yeast. There's no need to activate it beforehand; just mix it directly with the flour.
How do I know if the dough has risen enough? The dough should have doubled in size and feel light and airy. You can also do the "finger poke" test: gently press your finger into the dough, and if the indentation remains, it has risen enough.
Can I make the dough ahead of time? Yes! You can refrigerate the dough after the first rise for up to 24 hours. Let it come to room temperature and complete the second rise before baking.
Why are my buns dense? If your buns are dense, it could be due to underkneading the dough or not allowing it to rise long enough. Make sure to knead the dough thoroughly and give it enough time to rise.
Can I add more sugar for sweetness? Absolutely! Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to suit your taste. Just keep in mind that adding too much sugar can affect the texture of the buns.
