Brown Sugar Buns

Brown Sugar Buns
Ingredients
240 ml (8 fl oz or 1 cup) milk
10 ml (2 tsp) vanilla extract
113 gr (1 stick or 1/2 cup) butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar
450-510 gr (15.75-18 oz or 3 ½ to 4 cups) all-purpose flour
2 eggs (beaten)
10 gr (2 tsp) instant yeast
5 gr (1 tsp) salt
57 gr (1/2 stick or 1/4 cup) butter, melted
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
30 ml (2 tbsp) milk
Method
Pour the milk and the vanilla extract into a saucepan and bring the milk to a scald without letting it boil.
Pour the warm milk into a large bowl and let it cool a bit. Then add the melted butter and the sugar.
Add about almost all the flour and the beaten eggs and mix until smooth. Finally add the salt and the instant yeast.
Sprinkle some flour on a flat surface and pour out the sticky dough.
Knead for about 10 minutes adding flour if the dough results too sticky (I practically used all the 4 cups of flour).
When the dough has become smooth and elastic put it in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and let is rise for at least 1 hour or until double in bulk.
After dough has risen, pour out onto a flat surface and cut it into 16 pieces. You might want them to be all more or less of the same weight.
Roll out one piece of dough to a rectangle. Brush the top with a little butter and generously sprinkle with brown sugar. Roll out another piece of dough into a rectangle of more or less the same size and place it on top of the first rectangle.
Starting on the longest end roll up the dough tightly. Pinch the ends and seam closed. Place the dough seam side down and set aside.
Now go ahead and do the same with the other 14 pieces of dough. You will end up with 8 rolls of dough.
Cut each roll of dough into about 3 triangles. You will end up with 24 pieces of dough. (wow, after all this numbers…I really hope I did the math right!)
Place into a 11” round tart pan. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for about 1 hour or till double in bulk.
Brush with the egg wash and bake in a preheated 375F oven for about 30 minutes or till top is golden brown. Allow to cool before removing from pan.
Have a sweet day!
