Ingredients
- 6 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp instant dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk (adjust as needed)
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup butter (for filling)
- 1 cup fine breadcrumbs (for filling)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (for filling)
- 2 tsp flour (for filling)
- 2–3 tbsp milk or water (for filling)
- Pinch of salt (for filling)
- 1/2 cup fine breadcrumbs (for coating)
- 2 tbsp milk or water (for brushing)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add yeast, then warm milk, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes by hand or 6 minutes with a stand mixer.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling: melt butter in a saucepan, then stir in breadcrumbs, brown sugar, flour, salt, and milk. Cook over low heat until thick and spreadable. Let cool completely.
- After rising, punch down the dough and divide into 16 equal pieces. Roll each into a triangle, spread filling on the wider end, and roll up like a croissant.
- Brush each roll with milk or water and coat with fine breadcrumbs.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise again for 30 minutes.
- Bake at 325°F (165°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use bread flour for a chewier texture.
- Add vanilla or cinnamon to the filling for extra flavor.
- Condensed milk in the filling adds richness and sweetness.
- Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to retain moisture.
- Freeze extras and reheat in the oven for best texture.
