  • Method & Directions of Papparoti

    • 120 Minutes
  1. Mix the Dough
    تم نسخ الرابط
    In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, yeast, flour, egg, salt, and ¼ cup of softened butter. Stir everything together until a rough, shaggy dough starts to form. At this stage, it won’t look smooth, but that’s completely normal—it just needs time and kneading to develop elasticity.
  2. Knead Until Smooth

    Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and begin kneading. Use a push-pull motion with your palms for about 15 minutes. At first, the dough will feel sticky, but don’t be tempted to add more flour. As you continue kneading, it will become smooth, soft, and stretchy. To check if it's ready, gently stretch a piece between your fingers—if it becomes almost paper-thin without tearing, it has passed the windowpane test. If you’re using a stand mixer, knead it with the dough hook for about 10-12 minutes instead.
  3. First Rise

    Lightly grease a large bowl with a bit of oil and place the dough inside. Cover it with cling wrap and set it in a warm, humid spot. Over the next 90 minutes, it will rise and double in size, becoming airy and soft. This step is crucial for creating light, fluffy buns.
  4. Shape the Buns

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release excess air, then turn it out onto a clean surface. Divide it into 8 equal pieces and roll each one into a tight, smooth ball. Lightly flour the surface and flatten each ball into a disc about 3.5 inches in diameter.
  5. Fill with Butter

    Take a cube of cold butter and place it in the center of each disc. Carefully bring the edges of the dough together, pinching tightly to seal it completely so the butter stays locked inside. Make sure there are no cracks or openings where the butter could leak out. Try to keep the butter as centered as possible.
  6. Second Rise

    Place the shaped buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 3 inches of space between each one. Let them rise again in a warm spot until they puff up, which usually takes 30-45 minutes. This second rise helps create a light, airy texture.
  7. Make the Coffee Crust
    تم نسخ الرابط
    While the buns rise, prepare the coffee crust. In a bowl, whisk together butter and sugar until the mixture turns fluffy and pale. Add the egg and dissolved coffee, then whisk again until smooth. Sift in the flour and cornstarch, stirring just until everything is combined. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and snip a small opening at the tip.
  8. Preheat the Oven
    تم نسخ الرابط
    About 20 minutes before the buns finish rising, preheat the oven to 180°C. The oven needs to be fully heated before baking to ensure even cooking and the perfect crust.
  9. Pipe the Topping
    تم نسخ الرابط
    Once the buns have risen, take the piping bag and carefully pipe the coffee crust mixture on top. Start from the center and move outward in a tight spiral until you reach the widest part of the bun. A generous layer will create a deliciously crispy top.
  10. Bake the Buns
    تم نسخ الرابط
    Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. The buns should turn a light golden brown, with a crispy crust forming on top while the inside remains soft and buttery.
  11. Cool and Serve
    تم نسخ الرابط
    Once baked, let the buns cool for 15-20 minutes. This allows the flavors to settle and the crust to fully crisp up. Enjoy them warm, paired with coffee or tea, for the best experience!
