Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cups Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 Eggs
- 12 Large marshmallows
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, the granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and unsalted butter over medium-low heat until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm.
Lightly beat the eggs in a separate small bowl. Gradually add the lukewarm milk mixture to the dry ingredients, followed by the eggs. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time, kneading by hand or using a stand mixer with a dough hook until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a disc and place 1 large marshmallow in the center.
Combine the cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle a small amount of the mixture over the marshmallow. Pinch the edges of the dough around the marshmallow to seal it, forming a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough and marshmallows.
Place the buns seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Cover lightly with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let them rise for an additional 20-30 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled buns.
Serve warm and enjoy the surprise of the melted marshmallow inside!
