Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make sweet buns Hearts with sugar? Measure out the required ingredients for the dough. Take the highest grade wheat flour. This is the best option for rich yeast dough. Warm the milk slightly.

Step 2

Step 2
Sift the flour into a wide bowl with high sides to saturate it with oxygen. This will help the dough rise better and the baked goods will turn out fluffy.

Step 3

Step 3
Melt the butter on the stove over low heat or in the microwave. Cool the oil a little; it should not be hot.

Step 4

Step 4
Activate the yeast in a small bowl. To do this, combine the yeast, 1 tsp. sugar and about half of lukewarm milk. Mix everything and leave for 10 minutes at room temperature. A foam “cap” will appear on the surface.

Step 5

Step 5
To prepare the dough, take a large container, taking into account that the dough will rise. Lightly beat the egg with sugar, salt and vanilla sugar.

Step 6

Step 6
Pour in the remaining milk and activated yeast, stir.

Step 7

Step 7
Add melted, non-hot butter, stir.

Step 8

Step 8
Pour about 3/4 of the sifted flour into the resulting liquid mixture. Do not pour out all the flour at once. You may need less than the specified amount. It depends on the properties and quality of the flour.

Step 9

Step 9
Mix everything first with a spoon.

Step 10

Step 10
Add the remaining flour in small portions while mixing the dough with your hands. It is very important not to add too much flour so that the dough becomes tough. Such dough will take a long time to rise and it will be difficult to rise, and the baked goods will not turn out light and fluffy enough. Watch the consistency of the dough.

Step 11

Step 11
The dough should be soft, pliable, and not sticky to your hands. Cover the dough with a towel or cling film and leave in a warm place to rise for 60-80 minutes.

Step 12

Step 12
Remove the butter for the filling in advance so that it becomes soft and can be easily spread on the dough.

Step 13

Step 13
The dough should increase in volume by 2-2.5 times.

Step 14

Step 14
Gently knead the risen dough and place it on a table lightly greased with vegetable oil or dusted with flour. Divide the dough into equal parts, the number of which will depend on the desired size of the buns. Roll each piece of dough into a ball and cover with a towel to prevent it from drying out.

Step 15

Step 15
Roll out the bun into a rectangular cake.

Step 16

Step 16
Brush the flatbread with a thin layer of butter and sprinkle sugar evenly on top.

Step 17

Roll the flatbread into a roll.

Step 18

Bend the roll in half so that the seam is inside the fold. Press the ends of the roll.

Step 19

Step 19
Cut the workpiece on the side opposite the joint, without cutting all the way through.

Step 20

Step 20
Unfold the bun, cut side up, carefully straighten the layers. Similarly, form “hearts” from the rest of the dough.

Step 21

Step 21
To grease the buns, lightly beat the yolk with milk.

Step 22

Step 22
Place the “hearts” on a baking sheet lined with parchment, leaving space between them, taking into account that the buns will rise and increase in size during baking. Leave the buns to rise for 10-15 minutes. Then brush the “hearts” with yolk using a pastry brush.

Step 23

Step 23
Bake the pastry in an oven preheated to 180C for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. The baking mode and duration may vary, as they depend on the operating characteristics of a particular oven.

Step 24

Step 24
Cool the finished buns and serve. Bon appetit!
