Notes
- The dough is a tad sticky, and that’s okay. A slightly sticky dough makes softer buns, so avoid adding too much extra flour.
- Refrigerate the dough overnight. This improves the flavor and also makes the dough easy to manage.
- Lightly flour your hands and work surface while shaping the dough.
- Brush the buns with melted vegan or regular butter while they are warm. This helps give these buns with tutti frutti a softer crust.
- Make sure your yeast is not old or expired.
