Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Bread flour Can be substituted with all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon Instant yeast
  • 1 tbsp. Flax meal Plus 3 tablespoon of water
  • ½ cup Warm milk
  • 2 tbsp. Butter Softened
  • ¼ cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tbsp. Milk powder
  • 3 tbsp. Tutti frutti / Candied fruit
  • 2 tbsp. Butter + milk Melted Plus 2 tablespoon (for brushing the buns)
  • 2 tbsp. Sugar For sprinkling on the buns

Instructions

  • Add 1 tablespoon of flax meal in 3 tablespoon of warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  • I made the dough in my food processor. Combine the flour, yeast, sugar, milk powder, and salt in the food processor bowl.
  • Add the flax meal mixture and butter and mix once.
  • Slowly add the warm milk until the dough comes together. I needed a little less than ½ cup of milk, so do not add all the milk at once.
  • Knead the dough for few minutes until it is soft and elastic and then place it in a greased bowl, covered to rise. Let the dough rise until doubled in volume. Mine took about 1 ½ hour.
  • Once the dough has doubled in volume, knead it once on a lightly floured surface and add the tutti frutti to it. Knead it to evenly distribute the candied fruit in the dough.
  • Now divide the dough into 8 equal parts and roll it into a smooth ball.
  • Place it in a greased baking tray about ½ inch apart. Let it rise for the second time. Mine took about an hour to rise.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Brush the rolls with the butter and milk mixture. Sprinkle the sugar on the surface evenly.
  • Bake for about 20 – 25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from and oven.
  • Let the Pull-Apart Sweet Buns cool down a bit in the pan before removing them.
