The Best Bulochki Knots Recipe
Description
The Best Bulochki Knots Recipe uses a rich yeast dough combining flour, sugar, eggs, milk, and softened butter. After an initial knead and rest, the dough incorporates butter gradually, yielding a tender and smooth texture. After rising, the dough is divided into small pieces, each rolled out and half-covered with jam before being rolled and tied into knots. These shaped dough knots are glazed with an egg-milk-sugar mixture and sprinkled with a crumb topping of flour, sugar, and butter. Baking yields soft, slightly sweet pastries with jam pockets inside and a crunchy crumb topping out.
This recipe requires some patience for proper dough rising and handling but produces a delicate pastry with a pleasing contrast between the soft, enriched dough and the jam filling. The glaze and crumbs add a shiny, sweet finish and additional texture. These buns can be served fresh as a sweet treat or breakfast pastry.
Ingredients
- 4 cup flour
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp yeast dry
- 3 egg
- 1 1/2 cup milk warm
- 100 g butter softened at room temperature, unsalted
- 1 cup jam filling
Glaze
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp sugar
Crumbs
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp butter softened at room temperature, unsalted
Instructions
- Mix all dry ingredients together (flour, sugar, salt, and yeast). Lay out the dry ingredients and create a small hole in the center. Add the eggs and milk into the hole.
- Using your hands, mix in the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Knead the dough for a minute or so. Let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes. Using a stand mixer or your hands, mix in the butter in small amounts, moving slowly until everything is incorporated.
- Knead the dough for 10 minutes, or until the dough no longer sticks to your hands. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise for about an hour.
- Separate the dough into small, round pieces. if you're using a kitchen scale, each piece should weigh around 35 grams. Cover the dough balls with plastic wrap.
- One at a time, roll out each piece of dough into a flat, oval shape. Cover ½ of each piece with jam. Roll them up, leaving the jam on the inside.
- Seal the edges and tie each roll into a knot.
- Line a baking sheet with partchment paper. Place knots next to each other. Cover witha towel and let the knots rise for 40 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Whisk the egg, milk and sugar and brush it on top of the knots. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and butter until it forms into a crumb.
- Sprinkle the knots with the flour crumbs (cover all the areas where jam is sticking out).
- Bake the bulochki in the oven until they are golden brown (about 20-30 minutes). Enjoy!
