Step 2: Shaping the Buns
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions (depending on how big you want your buns).
- Roll each piece into an oval shape.
- Spread a generous layer of apricot jam in the center.
- Cut the sides of the dough into thin strips to create a braided pattern.
- Fold the strips over the jam, alternating sides to create a beautiful braided effect.
Step 3: Second Rise & Egg Wash
- Place the shaped buns in a greased baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Cover them with a clean towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- 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
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serving Suggestions
🌟 Enjoy the buns warm with a cup of tea or coffee.
