Instructions
Making The Dough
- Add the bread flour, yeast, sugar, salt, room temperature egg, butter & milk to your standing mixer and start mixing at the lowest speed for about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Gradually increase the speed and continue kneading the dough on medium to high speed for about 10 to 12 minutes until the dough doesn't stick to the sides of the bowl.
- Form the dough into a smooth ball and put it in a greased bowl. Cover and leave it for 60 minutes or until it doubles in size.
Prepare The Filing
- Beat the butter and sugar together in the stand mixer until it turns pale and stir in the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cardamom, pinch of salt & vanilla bean paste.
Twist Bun Preparation
- Flatten the dough onto a floured surface and roll the dough into a rectangle.
- Spread the prepared filling over the top of the rolled-out dough.
- With the long side facing you, letter fold to enclose the filling and slice it widthways into 10 strips.
- Using a sharp knife, cut twice down the length of each strip to make three strands. Plait the three strands together like challah bread, roll the open ends underneath, and place them in the muffin pan.
- Brush them with the eggwash. Lightly cover them with plastic film and let them proof for 60 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 Fahrenheit or 190 Celsius.
- Brush the buns with eggwash again before baking them for 12 to 15 minutes.
