• 1.5 teaspoons dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• Approximately 1/2 cup lukewarm milk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour (maida)
• Salt to taste
• Warm water as needed
• 3 teaspoons softened butter (for dough)
• Melted butter (for brushing buns)
• Softened butter (for greasing tray and final bun maska spread)

1. 1Combine lukewarm milk, dry yeast, and brown sugar in a glass cup and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. 2In a large bowl, make a well in the center of the all-purpose flour (maida), then add the activated yeast mixture, a pinch of salt, and 1.5 teaspoons of softened butter.
3. 3Mix the ingredients by hand, gradually incorporating the flour, and add warm water little by little as needed to form a dough.
4. 4Knead the dough vigorously for about 6-7 minutes, incorporating another 1.5 teaspoons of softened butter until the dough is smooth, elastic, and pliable.
5. 5Form the kneaded dough into a smooth ball, place it in a lightly greased clear glass bowl, cover with a wet cloth, and let it proof in a warm place for 45 minutes until risen.
6. 6Gently remove the dough from the bowl, place it on a maida-dusted countertop, stretch and roll it into a cylindrical log, and divide it into 6 equal portions using a knife.
7. 7Roll each portion into a smooth, round bun shape by hand.
8. 8Grease a rectangular metal baking tray thoroughly with butter, then arrange the shaped raw buns neatly inside.
9. 9Brush the tops of the shaped buns with melted butter, cover the tray with a wet cloth, and let them proof for a second time for 30 minutes.
10. 10Preheat the oven to 170°C.
11. 11Place the tray of proofed buns into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
12. 12Remove the hot tray from the oven, immediately cover the buns with a wet cloth, and let them cool for 10-15 minutes to ensure they remain soft.
13. 13For "Bun Maska," slice a cooled bun horizontally almost entirely through, and generously spread softened butter on the cut surfaces.
