Butter buns with sugar and cinnamon on kefir

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake buns with sugar and cinnamon using kefir? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Melt the butter in advance in a water bath or in the microwave. Remove the kefir from the refrigerator in advance so that it is at room temperature.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift the flour into a mixer bowl or large bowl. This is necessary so that the flour is saturated with oxygen, and the buns turn out more tender and fluffy.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add yeast, salt and vanilla sugar to the flour.

4. STEP 4

   

   Also add baking powder and sugar to the mixer bowl.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour melted, cooled butter over dry ingredients.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add the egg yolks to the mixer bowl with the remaining ingredients.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour room temperature kefir into the mixing bowl. Start kneading the dough. You can do this with a mixer, using special hooks for kneading the dough, or with your hands. The dough should be well kneaded, soft and slightly sticky.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil onto the resulting dough

9. STEP 9

   

   Grease the top of the dough with oil to prevent a crust from forming during proofing. Cover the bowl with a napkin and place in a warm place for 60-70 minutes. During this time it will increase approximately three times.

10. STEP 10

    

    After the specified time has passed, place the risen dough on a work surface greased with vegetable oil and knead it.

11. STEP 11

    

    Divide the dough into 14 equal pieces.

12. STEP 12

    

    You can start preparing the filling. Place sugar and cinnamon in a small container.

13. STEP 13

    

    Mix the sugar and cinnamon well.

14. STEP 14

    

    Take a ball of dough and knead it into a flat cake approximately 3 mm thick.

15. STEP 15

    

    Grease the flatbread with vegetable oil.

16. STEP 16

    

    Spread the cinnamon sugar filling evenly on the tortilla.

17. STEP 17

    

    Pressing firmly, roll the cake into a roll.

18. STEP 18

    

    Blind the edges of the roll well.

19. STEP 19

    

    Stepping back about one centimeter from the edge, cut the roll in half with a sharp knife.

20. STEP 20

    

    Wrap one resulting strip around the other.

21. STEP 21

    

    Braid the roll into a braid.

22. STEP 22

    

    Wrap the resulting braid and tie it into a knot. In the same way, form buns from the remaining dough balls.

23. STEP 23

    

    Sprinkle a baking tray with a small amount of flour and place the resulting buns on it, cover them with a napkin and leave to proof for 20-30 minutes. Turn the oven on to 175 degrees.

24. STEP 24

    

    After half an hour, brush the buns with beaten egg and bake them for 20-25 minutes in an oven preheated to 175 degrees. While the buns are baking, prepare the sugar syrup. To do this, pour sugar into a saucepan, fill it with water, add lemon juice and place over medium heat. With constant stirring, bring the future syrup to a boil and cook until the sugar crystals dissolve.

25. STEP 25

    

    After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet with buns from the oven and grease them with the prepared sugar syrup.

26. STEP 26

    

    Bon appetit!

Overall the recipe is good 👍🏻 the dough is soft and rises “easily”. It's a pleasure to work with him. For greasing, I used butter (melted), it tastes better for me 😊
