To make the dough:
25g (1oz) fresh yeast OR 13g (just under ½oz) dried yeast (read the yeast section of the method carefully for what to do before you start baking)
250ml (1 cup) whole milk, heated to 36-37ºC (97-99ºF)
100g (just less than 1 stick) butter, melted and cooled slightly
40g (3 tbsp) caster sugar (granulated will be OK
400-500g (3 - 3⅔ cups) strong white bread flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cardamom /sainsburys, hollandandbarrett, Morrisons/
1 tsp salt
1 egg, beaten

To make the pastry cream filling:
500ml (2 cups) whole milk
1 vanilla pod
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
100g (½ cup) caster sugar
30g (3 and a bit tbsp) cornflour
25g (just less than ¼ stick) butter

To make the topping:
150g icing sugar (1 cup confectioner's sugar)
50g (3½ tbsp) melted dark chocolate
Sprinkles
Hot water

- Start by making the pastry cream by adding the milk and vanilla pod to a saucepan and bringing to the boil.
- In a food processor, whisk the sugar, eggs and cornflour together.
- Pour one third of the hot milk into the egg mixture at medium speed, then pour the contents of the processor bowl back into the saucepan.
Bring it back to the boil, taking care not to burn.
It needs to be at boiling point to thicken, which will take around 30 seconds, so keep your eye on it.
- Take the saucepan off the heat, add the butter and stir.
Transfer the cream to a cool bowl and leave it to set.
- If you’re using fresh yeast, add the warm milk to a mixing bowl and stir in the yeast until it’s dissolved.
Alternatively, if you’re using dried yeast, sprinkle it into the warm milk and whisk together.
Cover with clingfilm and leave in a warm place for about 15 minutes to become bubbly.
- Pour the yeast-milk mixture into a food processor with a dough hook attachment.
Start the machine and add the cooled, melted butter.
Allow everything to combine for a minute or so, then add the sugar.
Leave to combine for another minute.
- In a separate bowl, weigh out 400g (3 cups) of the flour, add the cardamom and salt and mix together.
Start adding the flour and spices into the milk mixture, bit by bit.
Add the beaten egg.
Keep kneading for 5 minutes.
You may need to add more flour – you want the mixture to end up a bit sticky, but not so much that it sticks to your finger if you poke it.
It is better not to add too much flour as this will result in dry buns.
You can always add more later.
- Once mixed, leave the dough in a bowl and cover with a dish towel or cling film.
Allow to rise for around 30 minutes or until it has doubled in size.
- Dust a table top with flour and turn out the dough.
Using your hands, knead the dough and work in more flour if needed.
Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to a 30x40cm rectangle (approx 12x16in).
Cut the dough into 12 equal squares.
- On each square, add a good tablespoon of pastry cream.
Gather the corners together on top, then slowly gather the sides to ensure the pastry cream stays inside the bun and won’t seep out during baking.
- When the bun is completely closed, turn over and place on a lined baking tray, seam side down.
Leave the buns to rise for a further 20-25 minutes.
- Heat your oven to 180ºC fan (200ºC conventional, 400ºF, gas mark 6).
Brush the buns with egg.
Pop the buns in and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden and baked through, then leave to cool.
Baking time may vary depending on your oven – adjust your baking time accordingly.
- To make the icing, melt the chocolate.
Mix the icing sugar with a tablespoon of hot water, and maybe another one, until you have a thick, smooth mixture.
Add the melted chocolate and stir until smooth, then set aside to cool a bit (or your buns will have melted icing all over them when you just want it to sit neatly on top).
- Top each bun with chocolate icing, add sprinkles, and serve!

Maritozzi with whipped cream.

- Maritozzi • Ricetta • BiancoLievito:
Sweet Yeasted Roman Buns with Whipped Cream (Maritozzi)
1 kg Flour 00 strong W360
200 g Lievito Madre
10 g Lievito di Birra - brewer's yeast
300 gr Whole eggs
200 gr Sugar
50 gr Powdered milk/Lattepolvere
200 gr Water
300 gr Butter
250 g Raisins
10 gr Salt
50 gr leavened mix ("leavening mix" to be added for the development of the final dough.)
50 gr Honey

Mix the flour, lievito madre, or the beer, the whole eggs, the sugar, the honey and the powdered milk dissolved in half of the recipe in the mixer or the kneader.
Start kneading, moisturizing the dough with the remaining water adding it little by little.
Continue kneading until gluten is developed.
Taking a piece of dough and enlarging it with your hands, you have to form a veil of elastic dough.
Add the butter, salt and aromas so that everything is incorporated well.
As a last ingredient, add the raisins washed, softened and well squeezed (the processing is more rational if the preparation of the raisin takes place the night before the dough, so as to have a moist and dry fruit).
Cover and leave in the fridge for about 10-12 hours.
After this time break for portions of 40-50gr and preshape.
Leave to rest for 10 minutes.
Pick up each piece and round it well giving the final shape.
Put in baking pan to rise for 90min 28C and bake at 180C for about 20min.
Once out of the oven, glaze with a mixture of icing sugar (Stem the icing sugar with water and a drop of alcohol to obtain a smooth consistency) - frosting - Buttercream frosting.
PS
The powdered milk brings sugars, improving the coloring in cooking and helps to have a "thinner" crust.
If you can not find it, you can replace it with about 80g of whole milk, and reduce the amount of water by about 30gr.

As for the leavened mix (https: //www.biancolievito.it/le-ricette/? Category = 184 ...), this is nothing but a paste made of candied citrus fruits, sugars and vanilla, which is used to flavor leavened dough. The practicality of this preparation is that you can keep it in the fridge, once ready!

Pull-apart Pineapple Bun.

- DIM SUM MONTH: CHARSIU PULL-APART PINEAPPLE BUN – Lady and Pups – an angry food blog:
Dough:
2 cups (242 grams) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (60 grams) white rice flour
1 1/2 tsp yeast
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup (120 grams) whole milk
1/3 cup (100 grams) sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup (60 grams) water
2 1/2 tbsp (37 grams) unsalted butter, softened

Make the buns:
In a stand-mixer with hook-attachment, combine all-purpose flour, white rice flour, yeast, salt, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk and water.
Knead on medium speed until a soft dough as formed.
Add the unsalted butter, 1 tbsp at a time, and knead until fully incorporated.
Turn to high speed and knead for another 5 min until the dough is very elastic and smooth.
The dough should be sticky but pulls away cleanly from the bowl when the machine is running.
If the dough is not sticky at all, add 2 tsp more water, or if too wet, add a bit more flour.
Cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until fully doubled, approx 2~4 hours depending.
Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and divide into 12 equal portions.
Shape each into small balls, then stuff each ball with about 1 heaping tbsp of filling and pinch to close.
Repeat with the rest, then arrange them inside a 8 x 11 inch retangle pan (or 9" square pan, or any other container you'd like to serve them in), then cover tightly with plastic wrap.
You can now freeze them until needed (you can do this a few days ahead).
A Few hours before baking (at least 4 hours to be safe), leave the pan in a warm place and let thaw and proof until fully doubled again.
Meanwhile, make the crust.
In a stand-mixer or food-processor, cream unsalted butter and yolk together until creamy and pale.
Add coconut cream and powdered sugar, and cream again until fluffy, approx 5 min.
Add flour, salt, baking powder and soda, and mix until just combined.
Transfer in between 2 pieces of parchment, then shape into a square.
Refrigerate until cold, then roll them out into a sheet slightly larger than your pan.
Brush the proofed buns with egg white, then drape the crust over the top (don't worry about tearing).
Trim off any excess on the edges, then brush the crust with egg white.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400 F/200 C for 18~20 min, until the crust is golden browned.
Serve immediately.

Breakfast buns. Cranberry-orange.

cranberry-orange breakfast buns – smitten kitchen:


Dough:
4 large egg yolks
1 large whole egg
1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
6 tablespoons (85 grams) butter, melted, plus additional to grease pan
3/4 cup (175 ml) buttermilk
Zest of 1 orange, finely grated (to be used in dough and filling, below)
3 3/4 cups (470 grams) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting counter
1 packet (7 grams or 2 1/4 teaspoons) instant dry yeast
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse or kosher salt, or more to taste
1 teaspoon oil for bowl

Make the dough:
In the bottom of the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk the yolks, whole egg, sugar, butter, buttermilk and 3/4 of the orange zest together (saving the rest for the filling).
Add 2 cups of the flour along with the yeast and salt; stir until evenly moistened.
Switch to the dough hook and add the remaining 1 3/4 cups flour and let the dough hook knead the mixture on low speed for 5 to 7 minutes.
The dough should be soft and moist, but not overly sticky.
Scrape the dough into a large, lightly oiled bowl (I usually scrape my dough briefly onto the counter, oil the mixing bowl, and scrape the dough back into it) and cover it with plastic wrap.
Let dough rise at room temperature until doubled, which will take between 2 and 2 1/2 hours.

Prepare the filling:
Filling:
1 1/2 tablespoons (20 grams) butter
1 cup (190 grams) packed light brown sugar
1 cup (115 grams) fresh cranberries
Orange zest leftover from above
Melt the butter and set it aside.
In a food processor, pulse the whole cranberries until they’re ground to a coarse rubble, but not fully pureed.
You’ll need to scrape the machine down once or twice. Set them aside.

Assemble the buns: Butter a 23x33cm/9×13-inch baking dish, a heavier ceramic or glass dish is ideal here.
Turn the risen dough out onto a floured work surface and roll it into a rectangle that is 45cm/18 inches wide (the side nearest to you) and 30cm/12 inches long. (It’s okay if it goes longer/thinner.)
Brush the dough with the melted butter.
Sprinkle it with the brown sugar.
Scatter the ground cranberries over it, then the remaining orange zest.

Roll the dough into a tight, 45cm/18-inch long spiral.
Using a sharp serrated knife, very, very gently saw the log into 4cm/1 1/2-inch sections; you should get 12.
Arrange the buns evenly spread out in your baking dish.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or up to 16 hours.


The next morning, bake the buns: Take your buns out of the fridge 30 minutes before you’d like to bake them, to allow them to warm up slightly.
Heat your oven to 176-180C/350F.
Bake your buns until they’re puffed and golden (the internal temperature should read 87-90C/190F), approximately 30 minutes.

Icing:
3 1/2 tablespoons (55 ml) orange juice
2 cups (240 grams) powdered sugar

Transfer pan to a cooling rack and let cool slightly.
Make the icing by whisking the orange juice and powdered sugar together.
Spread a little on each bun, or drizzle it over the whole pan.
Serve immediately.
