Activate the Yeast:
Add the fresh yeast to the milk and stir gently with a spoon until the yeast dissolves completely. -
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
To the sifted flour, add the sugar and mix well. Once the yeast mixture is ready, pour it into the flour along with the almond milk syrup. -
Incorporate the Remaining Ingredients:
Stir the ingredients until the dough begins to come together. Once the dough is almost ready, add the salt to incorporate it evenly throughout. -
Knead the Dough:
Transfer the dough to a clean work surface. Knead the dough for a few minutes, or until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous ball of dough. -
Let the Dough Rise:
Place the dough in a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rest in a warm area to rise for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. -
Shape the Buns:
Once the dough has risen, divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a long log, which will make it easier to shape the buns. Use a dough scraper to cut each log into about 15 pieces, each weighing approximately 30g. You should get a total of 28-30 pieces. -
Form the Buns:
Gently flatten each dough piece and then roll them into perfect round balls using your palms, ensuring that the buns are tightly sealed. -
Second Rise:
Place the formed buns onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure there is enough space between each bun. Cover the buns with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes. -
Prepare for Baking:
While the buns rise, preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Chop the almonds finely, and set aside. -
Brush and Top the Buns:
After the second rise, gently brush the tops of the buns with a little whole milk. Sprinkle each bun with chopped almonds and sugar granules to create a beautiful, crunchy topping. -
Bake the Buns:
Bake the almond buns in the preheated oven for about 18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. -
Cool and Serve:
Once baked, remove the buns from the oven and allow them to cool completely. If you can resist the temptation, let them cool completely before tasting. These almond sweet buns are best enjoyed fresh!
