Morning Sweet Buns
Simple morning buns featuring a delightful jelly center, making them the ideal sweet and effortless breakfast option or a satisfying and enjoyable afternoon snack for everyone.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Flour
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 oz Instant Yeast
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 5 tbsp Butter Soft
- 1/2 Egg or 1 T
- 1/4 cup Milk lukewarm
- Jam of choice
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or a regular bowl add your flour, butter, egg, sugar and salt. Mix just until combined.
- With the hook attachment or your clean hands add your yeast, milk, and just enough jam to color the dough.
- Knead the dough until it forms a smooth ball.
- Cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Once doubled in size preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 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.
- Cover and let the dough rise about 15-20 minutes.
- Bake for approx. 10 minutes or until slightly golden on top.
- Once baked allow to cool completely cool.
- Once cooled, fill a piping bag with your jam of choice. Make a hole by inserting the pipping bag into the side of the buns. Apply light pressure to fill the buns with jam.
- Enjoy!
Notes
*depending on the 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 doughnut-like taste.
