Instructions
- In a small bowl mix together the milk and 1½ teaspoons of sugar, sprinkle the yeast on top and let sit for 10 minutes, then mix together.
- In the stand mixer add the flour, zest, remaining sugar, salt, egg, vanilla and yeast mixture, knead on low speed then increase the speed and knead for up to 7 minutes. Add the butter and knead again for approximately 10-15 minutes, until the dough stops sticking to the side of the bowl and is soft, smooth and elastic.
- Scrape the dough into a lightly buttered bowl to rise in a warm draft free area for approximately 2 hours or until doubled in bulk.
- Move the dough to a lightly floured flat surface, divide into 6 parts and shape into a slightly oval shape. Place the buns on a parchment paper lined baked sheet, cover and let rise in a warm draft free area until doubled, approximately 1½ hours.
- Pre-heat the oven to 350F/180C.
- Brush the buns with the egg wash and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and baked through. Remove from the oven, move immediately to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Brush the completely cooled buns with the sugar syrup, cut each bun on a slight angle be careful not to cut all the way through, fill the open area with an abundant amount of whipped cream, smooth out the whipped cream with a blunt knife so it is even with the outside of the maritozzi. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately. Enjoy!
FOR THE EGG WASH
- In a small bowl, beat together the egg and milk until combined well.
FOR THE CREAM FILLING
- In a large bowl whip the cream until soft peaks appear then add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until thick peaks appear.
Notes
- The dough can also be left to rise overnight in the fridge.
- The dough can also be left to rise overnight in the fridge.
- Once the maritozzi are filled with cream, they should be served and eaten immediately. Plan on making them and enjoying them the same day!
- Unfilled sweet buns can be frozen. Cool completely then wrap in plastic wrap and then foil to prevent freezer burn. Store frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before filing with whipped cream.
