Notes
Yeast-flour-mix: This is a ready-to-use mix for a simple yeast dough. Normally you’ll just add some lukewarm water. For my approach I used the milk-butter-sugar mix instead. It was a little too soft... so I added about 100 g flour.
Ricotta: You may also use cream cheese.
Ricotta mix: The mix is rather runny. If you prefer it more stiff use cream cheese & skip the lemon juice - maybe add the grated zest of an organic lemon instead.
Apricots: You may also use apples or cherries or blueberries or... whatever.
The buns are fine on your kitchen counter for about 2 days.
You may also store them in your fridge for about 2 days.
You may also put any leftovers in the freezer. Let them come back into life - slowly - at room temperature.
