Ingredients
CARDAMOM ORANGE BUNS
FRENCH TOAST BUTTER FILLING
Directions
CARDAMOM ORANGE BUNS
- Bring milk to a simmer then remove from heat.
- Whisk in butter, salt, Cardamom and Natural Orange Extracts until butter is completely melted. Set aside until cool.
- Whisk egg into cooled milk mixture.
- Combine bread flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl.
- Pour liquids into flour mixture and stir until a dough forms. Knead dough at least 10 minutes. Dough will look smooth and spring back when poked.
- Set aside, loosely covered, for 1 hour.
- Poke air bubbles out of the dough and divide evenly into 10-14 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place on a sheet pan.
- Set aside, loosely covered, for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400℉.
FRENCH TOAST BUTTER FILLING
- Whip butter, sugar, and French Toast Artisan until smooth.
- Place filling in a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.
- Pierce the middle of a bun with the pastry tip and pipe in about 1½ tbsp of filling. Brush with egg wash.
- Repeat with remaining dough balls.
- Bake about 10 minutes, turning halfway through baking.
TIPS:
- Cranberries make an excellent addition to these buns. Fold ⅔ cup dried cranberries into the dough with initial kneading.
