Sweet Buns

Bonsoir,

Time goes by so fast and I can't believe it's already April. Spring is here, flowers are everywhere and how I wish this spring could last forever.. Anyway, let's talk about homemade bread now and since I begin making my own bread at home last few months, I found that baking homemade bread was truly easy and simple. There is no need to have a fancy equipment or special ingredients to make a good breads or buns.

One thing I like to make a homemade bread or sweet bun because with this sweet bun basic recipe, the dough also can be formed into other shape of buns, doughnuts or even filled with sweet or savory or even spicy and salty filling like tuna and cheese.
