Bun without oil
My family loves buns and yeast breads, but as a dietitian I always try to find healthier versions of our favourite foods. I've kept this dough oil-free, and because of my profession and personal experience, I know it meets all the criteria for a healthy diet.

Directions
Start by mixing all the dry ingredients in a bowl - flour, salt, sugar and yeast. In an adjacent bowl, whisk the eggs with the lukewarm milk and then add this mixture to the dry ingredients.
Begin to knead the dough with a paperweight. This is an important step that should not be rushed. It should take at least 10 minutes to knead the dough so that all the ingredients come together properly and the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Leave the dough in the bowl, cover it with a tea towel and leave it to rise in a warm place for at least 30 minutes until it has doubled in volume. This part of the preparation was a favorite of my grandmother, who always liked perfectly risen dough.
Meanwhile, grease the mould. When the dough has risen, transfer it to a floured work surface and shape it into the desired bun shape. Be gentle so that you don't damage the dough too much and it doesn't rise.
Bake for 35-40 minutes at 180 degrees until golden brown. Always use the middle level of the oven when baking the bun so that the bun bakes evenly.
