Vanilla Sweet Bun/Sweet Vanilla Bun

Today's recipe is a sweet vanilla bun which I tried from Gayathri's space.These buns were crispy outside and soft inside with a mild sweet taste and vanilla flavor.These buns are a perfect tea time snack and it tastes delicious when its served warm.
When I made the dough for this bun and kept it for proofing,the dough was not raised properly even after 11/2 hours.But after rolling and kept it for the second raise it rose well and ended up in a soft,crispy delicious buns.Lets move on to the recipe................................................

   For the filling

    Method 

• Mix in melted butter,sugar,milk and vanilla extract together.Take all purpose flour,instant yeast,salt and in a bowl.To this add the milk and butter,knead it to a soft dough.Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes till it becomes smooth and elastic.Shape the dough and keep it in a warm place for 11/2 hours or the volume of the dough doubled.

•  Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes till it becomes smooth and elastic.Shape the dough and keep it in a warm place for 11/2 hours or the volume of the dough doubled.

• After the raise,punch down the dough and divide it to two equal portions.Now divide each portion to 4 equal portion and roll it to  around ball.Now on  a floured surface,roll each ball to 5-6 inch diameter.Apply a tsp of butter and sprinkle some sugar.Keep it aside.Continue for the rest of the 3 balls.

• Now stack 4 layers and roll it to a log from one end,cut it into 5-6 pieces.Continue the same process for the remaining balls .Roll and cut it.

•  Arrange the cut rolls on a greased round baking tray as shown.Keep it in a warm place for another 11/2-2 hours.Before 10 minutes of the second proofing time pre-heat the oven at 350 F.Brush the rolls with the milk and bake it for 20-25 minutes or a nice golden crust formed.Cool it in a cooling rack.

• Serve it warm with a cup of tea or coffee

• Since sugar and butter is stuffed inside the roll the top of the rolls become slightly crispy and browned faster.
• If you feel the top is getting golden in 10 minutes,wrap the baking pan with aluminium foil and bake it.
• Arrange the cut rolls closer to each other,after the second raise it will expand and cover the whole pan.
• I didn't warm the milk as the butter was melted and bit hot so added the the milk to it.
