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 (for filling)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk until lukewarm and mix it with softened butter. Add eggs and stir well.
  2. In another bowl, combine bread flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl and let rise until doubled in size.
  4. While rising, mix together softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the filling.
  5. After rising, roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread the filling evenly. Cut into strips, twist each strip, and braid them.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with beaten egg. Let rise for an additional 30 minutes before baking for about 20 minutes.
