This is a dough that I immediately fell in love with, and I've been successfully using it for a variety of sweet buns, such as with raisins, poppy seeds, and cinnamon.
It closely resembles the Piroshki dough with potatoes, it's non-sticky and easy to shape. I highly recommend giving it a try.
For a vegan option, use soy milk.
In a saucepan, gently warm the milk, oil, salt, and sugar, ensuring it doesn't overheat.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add the yeast, and blend thoroughly with a whisk.
Incorporate the flour and baking powder.
Mix using a spatula or spoon until achieving a soft, slightly sticky dough. Avoid over-mixing to ensure proper rising.
Lightly knead the dough on a floured surface for about a minute, then return it to the bowl.
For quicker rising, place the bowl inside a larger pot filled with hot water.
Cover the bowl with a lid or towel and let it rise for 30 minutes.
Observe how beautifully and quickly the dough rises during this period.
Knead the dough again on a floured surface and let it rest for an additional 10 minutes.
Finally, cut and shape the dough as desired.
Enjoy your meal!
