Рецепт Beehive Sweet Buns
These small buns are divine. I filled them with cream cheese and poured just enough syrup when they came out of the oven.
I love to bake, there is no doubt about that, but I love to bake these buns in particular.
When I first heard about this dessert, I pictured a cake decorated with bee like candy, so I wasn’t crazy about finding more about it. Until one day I had it at a friend’s place and I got addicted. When these buns are baked at my home, usually it finishes the same day, no one I know tasted it and didn’t love it.
Another thing I love about Beehive sweet buns is its dough, it’s not messy and soft, it becomes softer after you leave it to rise.
I hope you enjoy it as much as my family and I did!

Cover the dough and let it double in size, this may take one hour.
Knead the dough for 30 seconds, and then make 25 balls out of it.
