Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 240 milliliters Whole milk
- 60 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 piece Large egg
- 150 grams Orange marmalade
- 20 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
Warm the milk until lukewarm (about 37°C). Add the milk, softened butter, and egg to the dry ingredients.
Using a stand mixer with a dough hook (or mixing by hand), knead the mixture for 8–10 minutes until you have a soft, slightly sticky dough.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Once risen, turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and roll it into a rectangle about 30 cm by 40 cm.
Spread the orange marmalade evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal pieces. Place the pieces, cut side up, into a greased or parchment-lined baking dish.
Cover the dish loosely with plastic wrap or a towel and let the buns rise again for about 30–40 minutes, until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the buns for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Allow the buns to cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
