    These wonderful butter buns taste just like they did when you were a kid. Light and fluffy, with a delightful flavor of vanilla and butter.

    To make the bun even more delicious, we recommend topping the risen bun with a little coconut toffeeand baking it—this will give you a magically delicious caramelized crust.

    A fantastic Tosca with toasted coconut flakes is placed on top of the bun before baking, giving it a delicious caramelized coconut crust.

    You can easily substitute shredded almonds or mixed seeds for the coconut flakes. Feel free to add ½ tsp of flaked salt to the coconut for a delicious salted caramel flavor.

    If you're not in the mood for nuts, traditional pearl sugar works well, too.

    Here's how:

    • 1

      Dissolve the yeast in the dough liquid and mix all the ingredients slowly for 3 minutes; then increase the speed and mix for 10 minutes. Double the time if you’re kneading by hand. 

    • 2

      Pick up the dough and check if it's elastic; if it tears, knead it for a little while longer.

    • 3

      Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and knead it into a round shape; cover the dough and let it rest, covered, for 20 minutes. Mix the filling.

    • 4

      Roll out the dough to a width of 20 cm and then to a thickness of about 3 mm. It should be long and narrow for the rolls.

    • 5

      Spread the filling over the entire surface of the dough.

    • 6

      Roll up the dough from the top like a Swiss roll, then cut it into pieces about 4 cm wide and place the buns in the molds.

    • 7

      Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let the buns rise in your turned-off oven—with only the light on—for about 60 minutes.

    • 8

      Remove the buns from the pan and brush them with butter, then add your choice of topping, such as pearl sugar or coconut sprinkles, and preheat the oven to about 225 °C.

    • 9

      Bake the buns for about 10 minutes or until they are golden brown.
