Description
Sweet Baked Raspberry Buns are an absolute treat for those who love the flavor and texture of jelly donuts, sans the hassle of frying.
Ingredients
- Warm water
- Egg
- Vanilla extract
- Melted butter
- Flour
- Sugar
- Instant yeast
- Salt
- Vegetable oil (for brushing)
- Raspberry jam (store-bought or homemade)
- Powdered sugar
- Water (for icing)
Instructions
- Start by blending your wet ingredients: warm water, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Stir these together until they are fully combined, setting the foundation for a delectable dough.
- Incorporate the dry ingredients into your wet mixture. Gradually add flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt, mixing until a sticky dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface to achieve a smooth and elastic texture, lightly dusting with more flour if necessary.
- Transfer your kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and place it in a warm spot. Allow the dough to rise until it doubles in size, which should take about 45 to 60 minutes.
- Divide your dough into 8 equal balls (or 10-12 for smaller buns) and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow them to rise again until they appear puffy, approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
- Using your thumb or a small jar, press an indent into the center of each bun. Fill each indent with a teaspoon of raspberry jam, ensuring plenty of tasty filling in every bite.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the filled buns for around 15 to 20 minutes until they turn golden and the jam becomes bubbly. Your kitchen will fill with a delightful aroma!
- Once baked, allow the buns to cool slightly before drizzling them with a simple icing made by mixing powdered sugar, jam, and a splash of water. Finish with a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
Notes
Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before serving. These buns are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
