I am telling you this is one of the best bun in the world. So soft and so fluffy. Please guys before starting the post, i am telling you, dont ask me substitutes for anything. Because it has to be done exactly like this..I am not sure about the substitutes of eggs in this..But i will surely share a eggless brioche recipe soon.

How can we do without oven...
imrose
Dear please try baking with self rising/raising flour.Do u get this at your place?? It makes life so easy because one does not have to bother with yeast and baking powder then.If u can use them,please do because want to know how to use the flour in the buns.Please guide.
Aarthi
@imroseI haven't used that dear.Because i couldn't find it here.And i hope yeast is must for bread and bun baking. because self rising flour just has baking powder and salt in them. It is good for cakes and baked goodies like that

So true Aarthi, baking powder is not for breads, I bet if used in the above buns will change the texture and taste drastically. Might end up like scones.
Aarthi
@dhivyadoveSorry u cannot

Hi Aarthi, i tried making the bread yesterday using half the ingredients but the dough was very sticky to handle so i had to add more flour. Though the bread came out well but was not as soft and fluffy as yours. Was slightly dense in texture. What could have went wrong? Thanks.
Aarthi
@Anndid your yeast activated. And did your dough rised.
Ann
Hi Aarthi, yes, my yeast activated and the dough rise double the size. My dough was very sticky that it keep sticking on my fingers. I will try again. Thanks.

@Annif ur dough is sticky add more flour and knead it well..Dont over bake them..one you shape balls, you have to let it rise again before baking

@umamahicake will rise nicely, but bread depends on how much time you are actually leaving it to rise..You could put your bread in upto 3/4th it is full.
