Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake beautiful buns with sugar and cinnamon from yeast dough in the oven at home? Measure out the required ingredients. Take flour of at least the highest grade. Milk of any fat content is suitable. It needs to be slightly warmed up. Vanilla sugar can be replaced with vanillin (at the tip of a knife).

Step 2

Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the yeast, 1 tsp. sugar and a small amount of slightly warm milk (approximately 50-60 ml). Mix everything well and leave for 10-12 minutes to activate the yeast. A yeast “cap” will appear on the surface, confirming the good quality of the yeast and its activity.

Step 3

Step 3
Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove over low heat. Let the oil cool slightly.

Step 4

Step 4
Be sure to sift the flour. This will increase the oxygen content in the flour, so the dough will rise well and the buns will be fluffy and airy.

Step 5

Step 5
To knead the dough, choose a spacious, large bowl, taking into account the fact that the dough will increase in volume. Beat the egg with salt, sugar and vanilla sugar until smooth.

Step 6

Step 10

Step 10
Add the rest of the flour in small portions, mixing the dough with your hands each time. Do not pour out all the flour at once, as you may need less than the specified amount. Focus on the consistency of the dough; it should not be too stiff.

Step 11

Step 11
Knead a soft, pliable dough that does not stick to your hands. Cover the dough with a towel and leave in a warm place to rise for 80-90 minutes. The time will depend on the air temperature and yeast activity.

Step 12

Step 12
Remove the butter for the filling from the refrigerator in advance so that it becomes soft. The amount of cinnamon can be adjusted to taste.

Step 13

Step 13
Combine sugar and cinnamon, mix well.

Place each dough triangle with the wide base facing down. Press the triangle in the middle on top with the handle of a teaspoon or the back of a knife.

Step 21

Step 21
Place the buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet at some distance from each other. The buns will expand during baking. Leave the buns to proof for 15-20 minutes, covering them on top with cling film or a light towel.
