Homemade Green Tea Buns

Finally we learned how to make homemade buns!  We were wondering how we could reproduce my mother's buns but we have finally convinced ourselves that we are able to make these nostalgic buns and we did it!

These buns are soft and tender and have a mild sweetness. So they are ideal for your breakfast or for your afternoon snacks.  Making these green tea buns were really fun!  Kneading green dough, we enjoyed the good smell of fresh yeast and fresh green tea. If you think that making bread is complicated, with this easy recipe you will change your mind. Please trust this recipe and try to make your own howmade buns. It is so easy and you'll love your buns!

  6. Wow.. Green Tea Buns..
    I really wanna try this recipes. But there is one thing I want to ask. For proof we need to leave the dough in the oven of 40°C for 60 minutes and for second proofing for 40 minutes ? Can I leave the dough to rise at room temperature ? If you can for how long it took to proofing the dough.

    Thanks
