Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup butter
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 cup hot milk
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
6 cups bread flour, divided
½ cup white sugar

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease two baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
  • Shape each piece of dough into braided loaves or buns; place on baking sheets. Let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.

3 c flour
3 TBSP sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt

2 eggs
3/4 c orange juice

Tips:

  • Use very cold butter: This will help the butter stay solid in the dough and create flaky layers when baked.
  • Grate the butter: This will help it distribute evenly throughout the dough.
  • Work quickly: The more the butter is handled, the more it will warm up and soften, which will make it harder to create flaky layers.
  • Chill the dough: This will help the dough firm up and make it easier to work with.
  • Brush the buns with melted butter: This will help them brown and give them a shiny glaze.
  • Don't overcook the buns: They should be cooked until they are golden brown and puffy.
