Golden Honey Twist Buns

Ingredients:

• 1000g all-purpose flour

• 10g active dry yeast

• 8g baking powder

• 80g sugar

• 8g salt

• 4 eggs

• 320g milk

• 60g corn oil

• 120g honey

Instructions:

1. Make the Dough:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.

2. Add Wet Ingredients:
   Crack in the eggs, pour in milk and corn oil, then add honey. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms.

3. Knead the Dough:
   Knead the dough by hand or using a stand mixer for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4. Divide & Shape:
   Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces and roll each piece into a smooth ball.

5. Rest:
   Place dough balls in an oiled pan, cover lightly, and let them rest for 10 minutes.

6. Form Strips:
   Roll each ball into a long strip about 50 cm long. Take one strip, roll the left end upward and the right end downward to let it coil naturally.

7. Create Twists:
   Take a second strip and repeat the same motion. Place the two strips together and twist them in opposite directions to form a braid.

8. Secure the Shape:
   Fold the twisted dough by placing the left end at one-third of the length. Press the right end over to lock the twist, and pinch the ends together to secure.

9. Final Rest (Optional):
   Let the braided dough rest briefly while heating oil.

10. Fry the Buns:
    Heat oil in a deep pan to 160–170°C (320–340°F). Fry the buns in batches until they are golden brown on all sides, flipping as needed.

11. Serve:
    Drain on paper towels and enjoy warm, or let cool and store in an airtight container.
