For sugar heart buns, use high-quality butter without additional vegetable fats. It contains only cream or whole milk. Real butter should have a fat content of at least 72.5%. You should choose butter in foil packaging or opaque parchment - these materials provide protection from the effects of sunlight, which destroys vitamins. In baking, butter can be replaced with coconut or refined oil, as well as margarine or heavy cream.

How to cook Sugar Heart Buns

Step 1

Start preparing the starter. Pour warm water into a bowl and add dry yeast and sugar. Mix and cover with a lid or towel. Leave the mixture in a warm place for 15-20 minutes to allow the yeast to swell.

Step 2

Prepare the egg mixture for the dough. Pour room temperature milk into a separate container and break 2 eggs. Beat the eggs with a fork or whisk and add butter. Then add salt and mix everything thoroughly.

Step 3

Knead the dough for the buns. Add the yeast starter to the egg mixture. Gradually add flour, kneading the dough. Then put it in a deep pan or bowl, cover with a towel and put it in a warm place for 30-40 minutes. The dough should increase in size by 2 times. Before forming the products, the dough should be kneaded and kneaded into a smooth dough. Divide the dough into 6-8 approximately equal parts.

Step 4

Form buns with sugar. Prepare melted butter. Roll each piece of dough into a layer about 0.5-1 cm thick. Then grease with butter. Sprinkle with sugar, not reaching the edge, roll the dough into a roll and pinch the edges. If there is a lot of sugar on the edges, it will be difficult to pinch the edge. Fold the roll in half and connect the ends. Place the resulting piece of dough so that the gaps from the fold are on the sides. Make a vertical cut in the middle, stepping back 1-2 cm from the edge and straighten the "heart".

Step 5

Place the buns in the oven to bake. Prepare a baking pan or tray, line the bottom with baking paper, foil or greased parchment. Place the pan in the oven and bake the buns for 25 minutes at 180 degrees.
