Instructions
Dough:
- Mix egg, milk, butter, and starter until fully blended.
- Add sugar and mix.
- Add flour and mix on low until fully blended.
- Mix for 3-4 min on medium speed.
- Cover and rest for 20 min.
- Add salt slowly to the dough while on low and mix for about 1 min until fully blended.
- Bump to medium for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the hook cover and let rest for 2 hours doing 4 stretch and folds in this time.
- Rest another 2 hours until about double (will depend on room temp).
Filling:
- While the dough is resting mix the filling items together until it is like wet sand.
Dough:
- Dump the dough onto a lightly floured work area.
- Roll/work the dough until it is about the size of 13x21 inches.
- Sprinkle the filling over the dough leaving about a half inch from one of the narrow ends.
- Starting from the short end that has the filling at the edge, start to roll the dough onto itself. Keep carefully rolling until you have worked your way all the way to the plane edge.
- Allow the roll to rest for 5 minutes or so.
- Then cut into 12 equally divided sections.
- Place parchment paper or silicone mat in a 9x13 pan.
- Then place each of the pieces onto the pan.
- Cover the pan and allow to rise another 2 or so hours if baking the same day. If making the next day, place the pan into the fridge.
- To bake heat oven to 400F. If same-day baking bake for around 25 minutes or until the inside of buns reach 190F.
Baking Next Day:
- If working with chilled buns, take them from the fridge about 30 minutes before baking. Chilled buns will take about 35 minutes to bake and should still reach 190F.
Icing:
- While the buns are cooking mix ingredients for the icing.
- Allow buns to cool slightly before icing.
