Ingredients

• 300 g All-purpose flour
• 120 ml Skim milk
• 7 g Active dry yeast
• 30 g Sugar
• 3 g Salt
• 50 g Low-fat plain yogurt
• 1 large Egg white
• 20 g Butter (light or reduced-fat)
• 50 ml Warm water

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm water and 1 teaspoon of the sugar. Stir in the active dry yeast and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Mix to combine.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the skim milk, low-fat plain yogurt, and egg white.

Step 4

Add the foamy yeast mixture and the milk mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture starts to come together into a dough.

Step 5

Add the softened reduced-fat butter to the dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. You can also use a stand mixer with a dough hook for this step.

Step 6

Lightly grease a large bowl with cooking spray or a small amount of oil. Place the dough in the bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough to release the air. Divide it into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.

Step 8

Place the dough balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them. Cover with a kitchen towel and let them proof again for 30-40 minutes, or until puffed.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush the tops of the buns lightly with a bit of skim milk for a glossy finish if desired.

Step 10

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden on top.

Step 11

Let the buns cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy soft, fluffy milk buns that are low in fat but full of flavor!
