Step 1

Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and salt. Add the warm water and warm milk to activate the yeast. Stir gently until blended.

Add the butter, eggs, and gradually incorporate the flour until a soft dough forms. You might need between 650 to 750 grams (about 5 to 6 cups) depending on the moisture content.

Step 2

Knead and Let Rise

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, approximately 1 hour.

Step 3

Shape the Rolls

Once risen, punch down the dough to release air. Roll it out into a large rectangle. Spread softened butter on the dough and sprinkle with sugar evenly across the surface.

Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut it into even segments. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them.

Step 4

Second Rise

Cover the rolls with a cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes until they puff up.

Step 5

Bake the Rolls

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). After the second rise, brush the tops of the rolls with beaten egg yolk for a golden finish.

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden color. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Step 6

Serve and Enjoy

These sweet sugar rolls can be served warm or at room temperature. Feel free to add any filling of your choice to personalize them!

Servings

When your sweet buns are fresh from the oven, the best way to serve them is warm! Try them straight up or with a delightful spread of butter for extra flavor. Want to step it up a notch? Slice your buns in half and add a dollop of jam or fresh fruit for a burst of sweetness. 🍓💕

For a truly indulgent treat, serve them with a scoop of ice cream on the side – think warm, fluffy, sweet buns with cold vanilla ice cream melting over the top! That’s a dessert dream come true! 🍦🥳

And let’s not forget about gatherings! These sweet buns are perfect for brunch or picnics. Stack them up on a platter and watch them disappear! 🥐❤️

Equipment

Variations

If you’re looking to shake things up, you can easily make these sweet buns gluten-free. Simply substitute regular flour with a gluten-free blend! 🌾🚫

For our vegan friends, try replacing eggs with flax eggs and using almond milk instead of regular milk. This way, everyone can enjoy these delightful treats! 🌱✨

Remember, the filling can be whatever your heart desires – chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits are fantastic options to customize your sweet buns! 💖🍫

Faq

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

    Check the freshness of your yeast! If it’s expired, your dough won’t rise. Also, make sure your water is warm, not hot, as too much heat can kill the yeast.

  • How long can I store the sweet buns?

    Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months!

  • Can I use different fillings for the buns?

    Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with your favorite flavors, from cinnamon to cream cheese, or even savory options! Let your imagination run wild!

  • How do I know when the buns are fully baked?

    They should be golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. You can also use a toothpick to check for doneness; it should come out clean!

  • What if my buns come out dense?

    This usually happens due to overworking the dough or not enough rising time. Make sure you’re letting the dough rise until it’s doubled in size and handle it gently!

  • Can I make the dough ahead of time?

    Yes! You can prepare the dough and let it rise in the fridge overnight. Just bring it back to room temperature before shaping and baking.
