Homemade Apricot Jam-Filled Buns

Step 2: Shaping the Buns

  1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions (depending on how big you want your buns).
  2. Roll each piece into an oval shape.
  3. Spread a generous layer of apricot jam in the center.
  4. Cut the sides of the dough into thin strips to create a braided pattern.
  5. Fold the strips over the jam, alternating sides to create a beautiful braided effect.

Step 3: Second Rise & Egg Wash

  1. Place the shaped buns in a greased baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Cover them with a clean towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk and milk, then brush this over the buns to give them a golden brown finish.

Step 4: Baking the Buns

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top.
  3. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Serving Suggestions

🌟 Enjoy the buns warm with a cup of tea or coffee.
