Instructions
1: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine all dough ingredients except for butter. Knead for 5-8 mins until dough comes together. 2: Add in butter and knead for 8-10 mins until dough is smooth. Form into a ball, place back into bowl, cover and let rise at room temp for 1-1.5 hrs until almost doubled in size, then place in fridge overnight for a slow rise. 3: The next morning, punch down dough, remove from bowl and divide into 10 sections. Form into balls and cover, let rest for 20 mins. 4: Meanwhile, combine filling ingredients and set aside. It should be easily spreadable but not liquidy. 5: Roll each ball into a flat oval, about 7-8” long, 4-5” wide. Spread a thin layer of filling on top. Make slashes lengthwise about 7-8 times, ensuring not to cut past the end of dough. 6: Roll dough at an angle, then take both ends and bring them together. Pinch to stick. 7: Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough, using 2 baking sheets. 8: Preheat oven to 425F, cover the dough and let rise for 30 mins until puffy. 9: Combine 1 egg + 1 tbsp milk for egg wash and brush over dough. Bake for 12-15 mins or until tops are golden brown. 10: While buns are cooling, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar and water over medium heat until dissolved. Set aside to cool, then brush sugar glaze on buns and sprinkle pistachios on top.View original recipe
