How to prepare Milk Bun:

• Add milk and sugar along with yeast. Let it rest for 10mins to get activate.
• Once the yeast is activated add maida in a mixing bowl along with sugar, salt and Ghee. Mix them well, now add the yeast along with the dry ingredients and mix them well.
• Knead the dough for 5-10mins then transfer it to a oil greased bowl also apply some oil all over the dough to prevent from drying. Let it rest till the dough doubles the size which may take around 1.30hrs to 2hrs. The dough will be soft and little bit sticky.
• Once the dough doubles the volume knead it well for 5 mins. Then divide the dough into equal size portion. Tuck each portion and shape them round. Place them in a greased baking pan and let it rest for 30 more mins which again will double its size.

• In a heavy bottomed vessel place a wire stand and place this baking pan over it. Cover the vessel and cook in high flame for 5mins and then cook in low flame for 15-20 mins till the outer layer changes its colour. Once done apply melted ghee on the top of the buns, allow to cool and serve.

Tips:

• Wheat flour can also be used here instead of maida.
• As we are baking this without oven it won’t get dark golden brown in outer layer.
• You can use butter or oil instead of ghee.
• Doubling time completely depends on climate. Summer will fasten the doubling process.
• Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the bun, flame and baking vessel.
