homemade sweet buns

Soft, fluffy, and naturally sweet — these strawberry breakfast buns are a beautiful twist on classic homemade bread. Blended fresh strawberries give the dough a subtle fruity flavor and a gorgeous color, while the melted chocolate filling takes it to a whole new level. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even as a homemade bakery-style product to sell.


📝 Ingredients

For the Dough

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 200 grams fresh strawberries
  • ½ cup milk (room temperature)
  • ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon instant dry yeast
  • 2 cups wheat flour (plus extra if needed)
  • 100 grams butter (softened, cubed)
  • A pinch of salt (optional but recommended)

For Filling & Topping

  • Melted chocolate (to taste)
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced

👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Strawberry Base

Wash and hull the strawberries. Add egg yolks, strawberries, milk, condensed milk, and yeast to a blender. Blend for 2–3 minutes until completely smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Gradually add flour and mix until combined. Add butter and knead for 8–10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth, soft, and elastic. If sticky, add flour little by little.

Step 3: First Rise

Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for 30 minutes. It will slightly expand and become airy.

Step 4: Shape the Buns

Place the dough on a floured surface. Divide into 8–10 equal portions and shape into balls. Arrange them on a greased or lined baking tray, leaving space between each.

Step 5: Second Rise

Cover and let the buns rise again for 30 minutes until puffy and light.

Step 6: Bake

Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F). Bake for 35–40 minutes until lightly golden and soft.

Step 7: Fill and Finish

Let buns cool slightly. Slice each bun, spread melted chocolate inside, add fresh strawberry slices, and close.
