As I mixed and kneaded the dough, the familiar scent of baking filled the air, transporting me back to that sunny afternoon in the park.

Once the dough had been shaped into small buns and baked to a golden brown, I eagerly sampled a bite. The bun was soft and fluffy, with a hint of sweetness that lingered on my tongue. It was perfect – just as I remembered.
