In a pot, combine one cup of sugar with some water and heat on high flame, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves into a slightly sticky syrup. Test with your fingers for a tacky texture, then turn off the heat and let it cool.
2
In a bowl, mix the yeast with two teaspoons of sugar, then pour in the cooled sugar syrup. Stir well and let it rest for about five minutes until it becomes frothy.
3
Add one cup of all-purpose flour to the activated yeast mixture along with a little water, and knead into a dough, making sure the consistency is neither too watery nor too stiff.
4
Knead the dough until smooth, cover it, and let it rest in a warm place until it doubles in size.
5
Once risen, shape the dough and place it in a baking tray or suitable container. Cook on low heat, brushing sugar syrup over it a few times during cooking to give it a glossy finish.
6
Continue cooking on low heat for about ten minutes until the bun turns golden and is fully cooked through. Remove, let it cool slightly, and enjoy the soft, juicy bakery-style milk bun.
