Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 15 grams instant yeast
  • 3 tablespoons sugar (+ 1 teaspoon)
  • 3 tablespoons lukewarm water
  • 150 ml Milk
  • 1 egg
  • a pinch of salt
  • 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 500 grams all purpose flour
  • 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instruction

  • In a small bowl mix yeast with 1 teaspoon of sugar and water. Stir and set aside in a warm place to let it bubble.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the egg with a2 Milk™. Add salt, sugar, vegetable oil and dissolved yeast and give it a mix.
  • Gradually start adding the flour while whisking the mixture until it becomes a dough that you knead.
  • Knead the dough ball until it's soft and elastic. Put the dough ball in a bowl, cover with a damp cloth and set aside to let it double in size (this will take 30 minutes - 1 hour)
  • Take a small bowl, and mix sugar with the ground cinnamon to make the filling.
  • Melt the butter, and use it to grease your baking tin. And preheat the oven to 180c.
  • Take the dough ball, and cut into smaller balls (you should have around 6) but this depends on the size of the buns that you want.
  • On a floured surface, take a small dough ball and flatten it into a flat circle using your fingers. Brush it with melted butter, and sprinkle with the prepared cinnamon sugar filling to the centre of the Plushka staying away from the edges.
  • Roll the circle into a cylinder, and then press the right edge with the left edge.
  • With a knife cut in the centre of the plushka from the non edge side towards the edges leaving the end uncut.
  • Then spread each cut to create a heart shaped plushka.
  • Transfer to the prepared baking tin, and bake for 15-20 minutes.
