I tried it and it came out very good. No cracks and soft. But, if I could make it little more soft it would have been better I think. I realised, while chewing it was becoming a bit sticky in the mouth. Any tip?

Hi, Make sure the bread dough is soft, and well hydrated. And once out of the open, apply the oil immediately, so that it retains the moisture.

I tried and followed your recipe and method completely but there were no instructions about placing the baking tray on which shelf so after pre heating I kept the tray in the lowest slot which resulted in burning of the buns at the base.my effort failed .please suggest remedy .I''ll be grateful to you .

There are cracks on top of my buns. Any idea why? _x0001F610__x0001F610_

Tarla Dalal
Oct. 6, 2018, 3:04 p.m.
Hi, there can be 2 reasons for the crack. First reason is if the hydration of the dough is less, added less water while kneading the dough. second is very high temperature of the oven, which results in crack. How to rectify. make sure to knead the dough really well, it should be nice soft and hydrated. try baking at 180 degreee, there will be little difference in the timings by 5 minutes more.
