Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 3–4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 packet instant yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Filling

  • 1 cup raspberry jam

For the Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons raspberry jam
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine warm water, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk them thoroughly until well mixed.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add 2 cups of flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir gently until a very sticky dough forms.
  3. Add More Flour: Gradually add another cup of flour, mixing continuously until the dough begins to come together.
  4. Knead Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. First Rise: Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a bowl brushed with vegetable oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 45 to 60 minutes.
  6. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  7. Divide and Shape: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Form each into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Second Rise: Cover the dough balls with a towel and allow them to rise again for 30 to 45 minutes until puffed up.
  9. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the dough is rising.
  10. Fill Buns: Uncover the buns and gently press your finger into the center of each to create a small well. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam into each indent.
  11. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the buns for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  12. Make Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, raspberry jam, and water until smooth.
  13. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the glaze over the warm buns while still on the baking sheet. Optionally, dust with extra powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Use warm water to activate the yeast properly for a good rise.
  • Room temperature egg helps in creating a smoother dough texture.
  • Adjust the amount of flour as needed to form a soft but manageable dough.
  • Letting the dough rise twice ensures fluffy and tender buns.
  • The glaze adds an extra sweet and fruity finish, but you can skip it if preferred.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep the buns soft.
  • These buns can be reheated gently to enjoy warm flavors.
