Sugar Heart Buns

Cookinero 15 Mar 2025

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

Sugar Heart Buns

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

Sugar Heart Buns

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

Sugar Heart Buns

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

Sugar Heart Buns

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

Sugar Heart Buns

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.

Sugar Heart Buns - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! You can substitute sugar with honey or maple syrup in both the dough and filling. For the dough, use the same amount. For the filling, reduce slightly (about 20%) as liquid sweeteners are sweeter. Note that the texture might be slightly stickier.
Replace the milk with almond, oat, or soy milk, and use a plant-based butter or coconut oil instead of regular butter. The texture will be similar, but the flavor may vary slightly.
Absolutely! After kneading, cover the dough tightly and refrigerate overnight. Let it sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes before shaping and baking the next day for best results.
Store cooled buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for 4-5 days. Reheat in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5-10 minutes to refresh.
Yes! Freeze baked and cooled buns in a sealed container or bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature, then warm in the oven for best texture.
For best results, wrap buns in foil and warm in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 10 minutes. Microwaving (10-15 seconds) works but may soften the sugar filling too much.
For smaller buns, divide dough into 10-12 pieces and reduce baking time by 5-7 minutes. For larger buns (4-6 pieces), increase time by 5-10 minutes, watching for golden tops.
Try mixing cinnamon, cardamom, or citrus zest with the sugar. For a richer taste, add a pinch of vanilla powder or a teaspoon of cocoa powder to the filling.
