- 170 milliliter milk room temperature
- 100 gram sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 120 gram butter, softened
- 40 gram fresh yeast
- 4 eggs eggs (200 g)
- 550 gram strong wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 140 gram sugar
- 70 milliliter water
- 250 gram butter, softened
Instructions
Step 1
Combine yeast and flour in a large bowl. Add milk, eggs, sugar, honey, and salt, and mix until well combined. Add butter, and continue mixing. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly greased surface and knead with greased hands until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Shape into a ball, and let the dough rest in the same bowl until it has doubled in size, which will take from 1 to 2 hours.
Step 2
Divide the dough into equal pieces. Then divide each piece into 3 smaller pieces: one larger piece for the head and two smaller pieces for the ears. Shape into smooth balls and place on a greased baking sheet, forming Mickey Mouse's head. Position the ear pieces about 0.5 cm away from the head, as they will join when the dough rises. Let the shaped dough rest.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 200 ºC (400ºF). Brush the buns with a milk wash, then bake for 10 minutes at 180ºC. Let them cool on a wire rack.
Step 4
Prepare the buttercream. Heat water and sugar in a casserole until it boils. Let the sugar syrup cool completely. Cream butter, then beat on medium speed while gradually adding the cooled syrup until light and fluffy. Fill the cooled buns with the buttercream.
