Instructions
Step 1: Activate the Yeast
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Step 2: Make the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.
- Add the yeast mixture, eggs, and melted butter. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Step 3: Shape and Second Rise
- Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into small portions. Shape into balls or rolls.
- Place the shaped dough pieces on a lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise for another 30–45 minutes.
Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the pastries for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 5: Coat with Sugar
- While the pastries are still warm, brush them with melted butter.
- Roll each pastry in granulated sugar to coat evenly.
Serving Suggestions
- Classic Treat – Enjoy warm with a cup of coffee or tea.
- Filled Variation – Add jam, custard, or Nutella inside for extra flavor.
- Cinnamon Sugar Twist – Mix cinnamon with the sugar for a spiced touch.
Tips for Perfect Sugar-Coated Yeast Dough Pastries
✔ Use Warm Milk (Not Hot!) – Too hot can kill the yeast; too cold won’t activate it.
✔ Let the Dough Rise Properly – Ensures a light, fluffy texture.
✔ Coat While Warm – Helps the sugar stick better.
✔ Try Different Coatings – Use powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, or even a glaze.
