Instructions

  1. 1

    Warm milk and mix with yeast and a pinch of sugar; let stand until foamy.

  2. 2

    Combine flour, remaining sugar, egg, half the butter and the yeast mixture into a soft dough.

  3. 3

    Knead 8 minutes until smooth, then let rise covered for 1 hour until doubled.

  4. 4

    Roll dough into a large rectangle and spread with remaining softened butter.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar evenly over the butter, then roll up tightly into a log.

  6. 6

    Slice into 12 rounds and arrange in a greased baking pan, cover, and let rise 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Bake at 180°C for 20–25 minutes until golden, then drizzle with icing sugar glaze while warm.

Chef's tips

Bake in a big tray so buns touch slightly; they stay softer and pull apart easily for sharing.

Ingredient substitutions

  • milkwater with a splash of powdered milk if fresh milk is unavailable

Storage

Store covered at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days.

Reheating

Warm individual buns in the microwave for 15–20 seconds.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Skipping the second rise gives dense buns
