Egg Wash Ingredients

1 egg
1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine *half of the flour* with the dry yeast, *granulated sugar*, and *salt*. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

Next, add the *eggs*, warm *milk*, and *room temperature butter* to the dry mixture. Stir until combined, and gradually add the remaining flour to form a dough.

Step 2

Knead and Rise

Knead the dough for about 5 to 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Transfer it to a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for *1.5 hours*, or until doubled in size.

Step 3

Shape the Buns

Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface. Gently punch down the dough to release the air, then divide it into equal portions. *Shape each portion into a bun* and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 4

Prepare the Egg Wash

In a small bowl, whisk together *1 egg* and *1 tablespoon of milk*. This mixture will give the buns a beautiful golden color when baked.

Step 5

Final Preparation

Brush the egg wash over the buns just before baking. Preheat the oven to *180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)* and bake for *20-25 minutes* or until golden brown on top. Enjoy your delicious sweet roll buns!

Servings

For the perfect **cinnamon bun experience**, serve these fresh out of the oven with a drizzle of icing or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Pair them with a warm cup of coffee or tea to elevate your breakfast or snack time! 🍵✨
If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding nuts or raisins into the dough before baking for an extra texture and flavor pop. And remember, these buns are delightful when enjoyed warm, so don't hesitate to share the joy with friends and family during your next picnic or gathering! 🎉❤️

Gluten-Free Option: Swap out the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free baking blend. Just make sure it contains xantham gum for the best results! 🌾🚫
Vegan Option: To make this recipe vegan-friendly, replace the eggs with flaxseed meal (1 tablespoon mixed with 3 tablespoons of water per egg) and use almond milk in place of regular milk. You can also substitute melted coconut oil for butter! 🌱💚

Faq

  • What should I do if my dough isn’t rising?

    If your dough isn't rising, it could be due to expired yeast or the environment being too cold. Make sure your yeast is fresh and try placing the dough in a warmer location.

  • How do I know when my cinnamon buns are done?

    Your cinnamon buns are ready when they turn a lovely golden brown on top and spring back when gently pressed. The internal temperature should reach around 190°F (88°C).

  • Can I use a stand mixer for this recipe?

    Absolutely! A stand mixer can make kneading the dough much easier. Just use the dough hook attachment and start on low speed, gradually increasing as the dough comes together.

  • Can I prepare the dough in advance?

    Yes, you can prepare the dough the night before! After kneading, place it in the fridge overnight. Just let it come to room temperature before shaping it into buns.

  • What can I add to enhance the flavor of my buns?

    Consider adding spices like nutmeg or cardamom to the filling for a unique flavor twist. You could also fold in some chopped apples or nuts for extra flavor and texture.

  • What's the best way to store leftover cinnamon buns?

    To keep your cinnamon buns fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before enjoying!
