Apple Rose Buns from Yeast Dough
Tender, fragrant buns — a favorite homemade treat. How do you walk past warm, inviting buns without giving in? These rich little "roses" with a juicy apple filling practically beg you to pour a cup of tea and sit down. Anyone with a sweet tooth is sure to love them.
Cooking method
-
Step 1:
For the rose-bun dough you'll need: egg, milk, salt, sugar, yeast, butter, vanilla, and flour — plus vegetable oil to grease the baking sheet and an egg for brushing the tops.
-
Step 2:
Stir the yeast together with 1 teaspoon of sugar, pour in the lukewarm milk, and mix. Let it sit for 20 minutes until a foamy "cap" forms.
-
Step 3:
Melt the butter over low heat or in the microwave and let it cool slightly.
-
Step 4:
Beat the egg with the salt and sugar until smooth.
-
Step 5:
Add the activated yeast mixture and stir.
-
Step 6:
Pour in the melted butter and stir.
-
Step 7:
Sift the flour with the vanillin twice to aerate it — the dough will rise better that way. Add the flour to the wet mixture in batches, stirring as you go. Don't add it all at once; you may need slightly less.
-
Step 8:
Knead a soft, supple dough that's just a little sticky. Leave it to rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, covering the bowl with a towel so the surface doesn't dry out.
-
Step 9:
For the filling you'll need: apples, half an orange, butter, sugar, and cinnamon — plus powdered sugar to dust the finished buns.
-
Step 10:
Zest the half orange and squeeze out its juice.
-
Step 11:
Peel and core the apples and cut them into small dice.
-
Step 12:
Melt the butter in a skillet, add the sugar, orange zest, and juice, and stir. Cook until the sugar dissolves.
-
Step 13:
Add the apples and cook over medium heat, stirring, until soft.
-
Step 14:
Five minutes before the filling is done, sprinkle the apples with cinnamon and stir. Transfer the finished filling to a bowl and let it cool.
-
Step 15:
The dough has risen nicely. Mine deflated a little when I moved it to the counter, but that's no problem.
-
Step 16:
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Roll it into a log and divide it into 10 equal pieces.
-
Step 17:
Roll each piece into a round disk and place the filling in the center (about a heaping tablespoon). Make 4 cuts at right angles to each other, stopping short of the center.
-
Step 18:
To form a "rose," lift one corner of dough and fold it over the filling.
-
Step 19:
Then fold the next corner of dough over the filling in the same way.
-
Step 20:
Repeat with all the corners. Press the tips of the dough down against the base of the "rose" so the buns don't unfurl while baking.
-
Step 21:
Here's what the bun looks like.
-
Step 22:
Arrange the shaped buns on a sheet lined with greased parchment. Brush the tops with beaten egg.
-
Step 23:
Bake the buns in an oven preheated to 350°F (180°C) until golden brown. Let them cool. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy with a cup of tea!
- For me, homemade baking is all about the warmth and comfort of home. Maybe it goes back to childhood, when my grandmother baked wonderful pies whose aroma filled the whole house. She did it with love and care, and her baking always came out just perfect. When you work with yeast dough, it really matters to be in a good mood, calm and at peace. That's the first condition for the dough to turn out well and the baking to be light and delicious — and for everyone at home to be happy and well fed.
