Moscow bun - useful tips and tricks
• Egg for greasing buns does not always lie flat. And the reason is often in protein. It must be well mixed until smooth. Or use only the yolk diluted with a spoon of water.
• No brush for greasing buns? You can use a cotton cloth. It is necessary to fold it into a few layers and cut the edge with scissors so as to imitate the pile.
• The dough is always covered with a towel so that it does not form a crust. It will interfere with the normal functioning of the yeast, and the buns will be heterogeneous, with hard particles in the crumb.
• Buns should rise in a warm room and without drafts, otherwise they will dry out, remain small, or even fall off altogether.
