For home baking buns of various shapes, yeast dough is best suited, it fits well, holds its shape and has a great taste, but puff pastry also makes the taste of the buns unique.

Making buns with filling is quite simple, the main thing is to knead the dough correctly.

Recipe for yeast dough for buns

For the dough, you first need to prepare the dough, only then knead.

  1. Make sweet pie step by step. The simplest form of filled bun, pie can be made from fresh fruit, with cottage cheese, jam or marmalade. The dough can be cut out with a glass shot glass and rolled out with a rolling pin up to 8 cm in diameter, place the filling in the middle, seal the edges, leaving a small hole for sprinkles or syrup.
  2. The next simple form of baking a filled bun is a flower. Roll out the dough with a diameter of 5-7 cm, cut the edges with a knife, place a teaspoon of filling in the middle, bake the product in the oven at 190 degrees for 50 minutes.
  3. Cheesecake with cottage cheese or jam is made from a piece of dough rolled out crosswise. The cheesecake is formed from an oblong piece of dough, which must be cut from two edges, closer to the middle. The filling is placed in the middle of the workpiece, and the edges of the dough are threaded into the slits.

Twisted buns: how to make it yourself

To form twisted buns from the dough, the dough must be distributed into ropes in advance. This is a very simple way to make buns.

  1. Bun braid. A fairly wide piece of dough is distributed into 3 ropes, leaving 1 cm on top. Next, the strands need to be intertwined with each other, like a braid. We form the strands so that the weaves are symmetrical, and bend the edges down. After baking, the loaf can be sprinkled with sugar.
  2. Network. It is necessary to form a braid from two edges of the cut dough. To do this, you need to roll out a piece of dough into an oval shape, spread the filling along the entire length of the workpiece, cut the edges with a knife and place it in the middle of the workpiece, covering the filling, as in the pictures.
  3. Snail bun. A rope of dough, 10 cm long, must be twisted around the edges, gradually twisting inward. Making a snail is quite simple; you can decorate it beautifully with raisins, dried apricots or sesame seeds.

To make pies not only tasty, but also beautiful, there are several available ways to shape the dough. Pies can be of different shapes.

  1. Closed pie with waves. The filling is placed into a regular dough piece, and the edges of the dough are fastened together. You need to make waves all over the pie using kitchen scissors or pinch the dough with your hands.
  2. Triangular pie. Forming triangular patties is also simple; the filling is placed in the middle of the piece, but the pie is held together a little differently. The edges of the workpiece are visually divided into 3 parts, the edges are gathered and fastened together.
  3. A puff pastry pie can be baked in unusual shapes, even in the shape of animals. It is necessary to make the workpiece into a square shape, put the filling in the middle, and bend the corners. Make a rope from the dough, twist it and put it in the middle. After baking, you will get a funny pig-shaped pie.

In addition to pies of various beautiful shapes, cookies, hamburger buns, various pies with and without filling, nuts with cream or condensed milk, and croissants can be baked from puff pastry or yeast dough.

Such beautiful muffins can be made not only with jam, but also with cottage cheese, if you prepare the filling accordingly. They can be prepared from yeast mass or with the addition of baking powder.

  1. Divide the finished dough into equal small portions and roll into balls.
  2. Then, using a rolling pin, roll out our ball so that we get an even circle. We make four symmetrical cuts.
  3. Place jam in the center. For this bun shape, the filling must be very dense, like marmalade.
  4. We lift one petal of the future rose and wrap it around the jam.

  1. We wrap the opposite petal second. Then we do the same with the remaining petals.
  2. The result should be a neat bud.
  3. Place all the preparations on an oiled baking sheet, brush the muffins with whipped yolk and put them in the oven.
  4. Blush roses are ready! I hope that everything is clear step by step in the photo.

Rings

To make these buns, you will need puff pastry, as it retains its shape better. Baking in the form of rings can also be prepared with sugar, cinnamon, and poppy seeds. But since we are talking about jam, we will consider molding with this filling.

  1. Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape. Then we make parallel cuts on it approximately to the midline of the layer.
  2. Place jam on the part of the rectangle that remains intact.
  3. Starting from the edge where the filling lies, wrap the dough into a tube. The cut strips remain on top. Their ends should remain on the bottom side.
  4. As a final step, we connect the ends of the roll to make a ring. Prepared kulebyaki can be sent to the oven!

Classic buns

They are best prepared from yeast or lean dough. Despite the banal shape, such baked goods look very good. Since the buns are closed, you can put any filling inside, as long as it is not very liquid and does not leak out during baking. Although even semi-liquid jam (for example, raspberry jam) can be made thicker if desired.

Bagels

This form of buns is simple, you just need to correctly cut out the rolled out layer and carefully wrap the bagel.

  2. Place a spoonful of jam on the outer edge of each triangle.
  3. Starting from the wide edge, roll the dough into a bagel. This must be done carefully so that the filling does not come out around the edges.

Cheesecakes

Not only sweet buns, but also cottage cheese buns are often made in this form. Let's find out how to make them.

  1. We form small balls from the dough and make flat cakes (you can use your hands or a rolling pin). Then, using a glass of a suitable diameter, cut out even circles.
  2. We also use the ring that remains after cutting. We twist it in the form of a figure eight.
  3. The result is two parts of the future bun - the base and the side.
  4. Place the twisted ring on the circle. From below you can slightly pinch the sides and base.
  5. Place a spoonful of any jam or marmalade in the middle of the dough.
  6. Place in the oven for baking.

Daisies

Despite the simple method of production, such baked goods look very elegant and festive. Even a novice cook can master it.

  1. Roll out the finished yeast or puff pastry into a layer and cut out even circles from it. If you have baking skills, you can immediately roll out circles from small donuts without using a mold.
  2. We cut each circle into six petals. We pinch the tip of each petal to make it sharp. The center of the workpiece must be pressed with your finger to make a depression for the filling.
  3. Place all the daisies on a greased baking sheet and only then put the jam in the middle. The petals themselves can be greased with the yolk mixture.
  4. Bake chamomile buns in a preheated oven until golden brown.

  2. Cut the roll in the center into 2 equal-sized pieces.
  3. Cut each part lengthwise.

Place two strands on a baking sheet at a distance from each other, brush with egg and bake according to the technology.

The most popular dough option is butter yeast dough. It can be mixed with milk or water. Sometimes, for looseness, alcohol is added to the recipe, for example cognac, as in. You can do without strong drinks by simply using any type of yeast.

  • 1.5 tbsp milk,
  • ½ tbsp sugar,

Add 6 tbsp. flour, mix and pour in warm melted butter.

Place the bowl in a warm place for an hour and cover with a towel.


Do not knead the grown dough; for convenience, divide it into two parts and roll it into a rectangle. At this stage, you can add any type of filling. For example, use poppy seed or cottage cheese with raisins.

Spread the butter, which has become very soft, over the surface.


Sprinkle sugar on top of it. Mix it with cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
We wrap the layer into a roll and divide it into several parts, 4-5 cm wide.


We pinch the bottom edge of the snail so that the filling does not leak out and place it on this edge.

And you get cute roses.

Grease a baking tray with vegetable oil and place buns on it. Leave for 20 minutes for them to rise.


Before putting the leaf in the oven, brush all the baked goods with a beaten egg.

We send them to bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
