Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: Mix warm milk and sugar in a bowl. Stir in yeast and let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Make the Dough: In another bowl, combine flour and salt. Add melted butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture until a dough forms.
  3. Knead: On a floured surface, knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. First Rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Prepare Custard: Whisk together milk, sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened (about 5-7 minutes). Fold in chopped strawberries.
  6. Shape Buns: Roll out the dough into rectangles. Spoon custard filling onto each rectangle; fold or roll tightly.
  7. Final Rise: Let buns rise on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 30 minutes.
  8. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake buns for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
