Notes
---------
  1. Discard the milk yeast mixture if it does not become frothy. (if the yeast is not good the mixture wont turn frothy and the bun won't be softer).
  2. The milk should be slightly warm. (hot milk kills yeast)
  3. Do not forget to add little sugar to milk as it helps in fermentation
  4. keep a tray filled with water while baking as bun becomes soft and won't be dry.
  5. you can make the filling according to your taste. I didn't have tuti-fruity with me .So I haven't added them.
