Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 4 cups bread flour
- 1 tbsp instant dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed (for filling)
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon (for filling)
Instructions
- Warm the milk until lukewarm, then mix it with softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Add the eggs and stir well.
- In another bowl, combine bread flour, yeast, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture while stirring until a smooth dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until elastic. Let it rise in a greased bowl covered with a towel until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- While the dough rises, prepare the filling by mixing softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until creamy.
- Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle and spread the filling evenly over it. Cut into strips and twist them together before placing on a baking sheet.
- Allow twisted buns to rise again for about 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush with beaten egg before baking for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
