Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cups Dark rum
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
Warm the milk until it is just lukewarm, then add it to the dry ingredients along with the softened butter and eggs. Mix until a dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cover the buns loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes, until puffed and touching one another.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and baked through.
While the buns are baking, prepare the rum glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the dark rum, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and water until smooth.
Once the buns are out of the oven, brush the warm buns generously with the rum glaze. Allow the glaze to soak in for a few minutes.
Serve the buns warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
