Quick milk buns are soft, fluffy, and delicate, ideal for a hearty breakfast, brunch, or a tasty snack. Perfect to be filled with simple butter and sugar or jam, as well as to create savory versions with ham, cheese, or salami.
You can prepare this dough for milk buns by hand or with a bread machine or mixer; the latter will obviously save you quite a bit of work. If you prefer, you can slightly reduce the amount of yeast and extend the rising times.
Easy to prepare, they can be filled in many ways, both as a snack for school and for a birthday party. I remember as a child, my snack was bread, butter, and sugar, and it seemed like the best thing in the world!

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter (at room temperature)
- 0.35 oz fresh yeast
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1.5 tbsp milk (for brushing)
Steps: Quick Milk Buns
Place the milk, sugar, and yeast in the stand mixer or mix by hand in a bowl, add the flour and salt: knead for 5 minutes, then add the softened butter. Continue kneading until you get a smooth and homogeneous dough, then transfer it to a bowl.
Cover the dough and let it rise for a couple of hours at room temperature until it doubles in size. The required time depends greatly on the temperature.
Now turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Form balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then cover them with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C), brush the surface of the buns with a little milk, and bake them for about 15 minutes, until golden. Then remove the buns from the oven and let them cool before filling them as you prefer.
