Ingredients

• Wheat Flour 15 oz

• Dry yeast 0 oz
• Salt to taste
• Vanilla salt to taste
• Chicken Egg 2 pieces

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

In warm milk, add the yeast and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Allow the yeast to 'come to life.'

Step 2

After 10 minutes, the yeast will start to activate.

Step 3

Sift the flour to remove any unwanted impurities and enrich it with oxygen.

Step 4

In the sifted flour, add milk with yeast, eggs, salt, and another 2–3 tablespoons of sugar, along with vanilla sugar. Also, include 70 g of melted butter and refined sunflower oil.

Step 5

Knead a soft, elastic dough. Place it in a bowl, cover with a towel, and set it in a warm place.

Step 6

After 40–50 minutes, the dough will rise in volume.

Step 7

After the dough has risen, proceed to shape the pastries. Cut a piece from the dough.

Step 8

Then roll this piece out into a sheet. The thinner the sheet, the more layers the pastry will have, but this is a matter of personal preference. Spread soft butter over the sheet and sprinkle with sugar.

Step 9

Then roll it up from the wider side and pinch the ends together.

Step 10

Place the roll on its side and slice it, but not all the way through.

Step 11

Then unfold it to form a bun. Do the same with the remaining dough. The sugar that was sprinkled on the layer of dough ends up on the outside, giving the bun a sugary topping.

Step 12

Place the pastries in a baking dish, brush with egg yolk, and let them rest for about 25–30 minutes.

Step 13

Then place in an oven preheated to 345°F for about 30 to 35 minutes.
