Morning Sweet Buns

  Prep Time: 30 minutes  Serving Size: Varies

Ingredients:

  • 2 C Flour
  • 1/2 t Salt
  • 1/4 oz Instant Yeast
  • 1 T Sugar
  • 5 T Butter (Soft)
  • 1/2 Egg or 1 T
  • 1/4 C Milk lukewarm
  • Jam of choice

Instructions:

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer or a regular bowl add your flour, butter, egg, sugar and salt. Mix just until combined.
  2. With the hook attachment or your clean hands add your yeast, milk, and just enough jam to color the dough.
  3. Knead the dough until it forms a smooth ball.
  4. Cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Once doubled in size preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Shape your dough into equal size football shaped balls. Optionally, you can add the “seeds” on the top with a small amount on the dough and a little bit of water to make them stick.
  7. Cover and let the dough rise about 15-20 minutes.
  8. Bake for approx. 10 minutes or until slightly golden on top.
  9. Once baked allow to cool completely cool.
  10. Once cooled, fill a piping bag with your jam of choice.
  11. Enjoy!

*Depending on size of buns the baking time may vary. I usually make them about the size of a biscuit.

* You can also fry them instead if you would like a more donut like taste.
