  Step 1

  Add 1 cup of flour, 1 tbsp of sugar, 1 tsp of salt and 1 tbsp of dried yeast in a bowl. Mix them really well.

• 

  Step 2

  Take a small bowl and mix an egg with 1 tsp of flour (all purpose) in it.

• 

  Step 3

  Take a pot and add 1 cup of liquid milk and 1 tbsp of butter. Boil the milk and butter mixture in medium heat for 5-6 minutes.

• 

  Step 4

  Now, carefully pour the boiled milk and butter mixture into the flour mixed bowl (the first bowl). Also add the egg and flour mixture in it and beat until the mixture is smooth.

• 

  Step 5

  Start adding the rest of the flour, mix them and knead really well to make a smooth dough.

• 

  Step 6

  Sprinkle a little more flour while kneading and knead for 8-10 minutes to make sure the dough is smooth and not sticky.

• 

  Step 7

  Keep the dough in a warm place for at least 2 hours and wait till it doubles.

• 

  Step 8

  Knead the dough again for 2-3 minutes. Divide the dough into 2-3 portions and shape each portion into a ball.

• 

  Step 9

  Now roll each dough into a square shape and keep it at least half an inch thick. Add 2-3 tsp of jam in a straight line right in the middle of the rolled square dough (see picture),

• 

  Step 10

  Use a knife and cut slightly angled stripes/ slits on both sides of the square dough.

• 

  Step 11

  Start from any one side and pull each stripe at a time. Pull the slit to the opposite side and gently press it on the dough. Now take the next slit of the opposite side and pull it similarly over the jam (to its opposite side) and gently press it. Keep doing the same until you complete the braid for the whole bun.

• 

  Step 12

  Place the braided buns on a tray, but first spread a little butter over the tray (oven tray). Now, cover and keep them in a warm place for another 1-2 hours.

• 

  Step 13

  Set the oven to 180o C (350o F). Bake the braided buns for 15-20 minutes, until they turn golden. There! They're really delicious, give it a try!
