375g white flour
Pinch of salt
Cane sugar
1/2 vanilla pod
20g yeast, crumbled
40g butter, cut into pieces, soft
200ml milk, warmed • Filling
30g Edible confetti
50g Chocolate 70%, chopped
Oaty streusel • Oaty Streusel •
50g ground almonds
50g flour
40g rolled oats
70g brown or cane sugar
1/2 tsp salt
65g unsalted butter, cold, cut into cubes
Combine the ground almonds, flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt. Add the butter and rub in with your fingertips until combined. • Procedure •
In a bowl, mix the flour with all the other dry ingredients, including the yeast. Add the butter and milk, mix and knead into soft, smooth dough. Cover and leave to rise at room temperature for approx 1 hour until double size. Transfer the dough to a parchment lined baking sheet. Lightly brush with butter, and sprinkle with edible confetti, chocolate and the oaty streusel. Roll up starting on the short side and brush again with butter each time you roll a complete piece of dough.
Transfer to the freezer for 20 minutes. Trim the ends of the log of dough so that they are tidy. Using a very sharp knife, measure the log of dough, and cut into 12 even pieces. Arrange on the baking sheet.
Lightly cover the buns with plastic wrap, and place in a warm spot for 45 minutes to an hour, until they are puffy. While the buns are rising, preheat the oven to 180°c.
Bake the buns for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. • Vanilla Bean Glaze •
150g powdered sugar, sifted
3 Tbsp cream
1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste
Combine all the ingredients into a small bowl.
