Homemade plushies are tender, airy sweet rolls infused with the aroma of vanilla and caramelized sugar. This recipe has roots in Russian culinary traditions, where plushies have always symbolized coziness and home warmth. Their softness and sweetness make them perfect for tea time or family breakfasts. The light crispy coating from baking with egg glaze contrasts with the soft dough structure, creating a harmony of flavors. Their 'heart' shape adds special charm and romance. Plushies can be sprinkled with cinnamon for a spicy note or served with jam and honey for extra sweetness. They are great as a standalone dessert or as an accompaniment to morning coffee. True pleasure in every bite!

Ingredients

• Sugar: 1 tbsp
• Salt: 1 tsp
• Wheat flour: 4 glass
• Dry yeast: 1 tbsp
• Milk: 1.5 glass
• Vanillin: 2 g
• Vegetable oil: 2 tbsp
• Chicken egg: 1 pc

Cooking steps

1. Mix flour, dry instant yeast (read the package instructions!), sugar, salt, and vanillin in a bowl.

   Required ingredients:

   • Wheat flour: 4 glasss
   • Dry yeast: 1 tablespoon
   • Sugar: 1 tablespoon
   • Salt: 1 teaspoon
   • Vanillin: 2 g

2. Pour warm milk or water.

   Required ingredients:

   • Milk: 1.5 glass

3. Quickly knead the dough. At the end of kneading, add vegetable oil to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands.

   Required ingredients:

   • Vegetable oil: 2 tablespoons

4. Knead a little more, then leave the dough to rise. For this, cover the bowl with the dough with plastic wrap or a towel and place it in a warm, draft-free spot.

5. In about an hour to an hour and a half, the dough will double in size. It needs to be kneaded again and left to rise.

6. This time the dough will rise faster, in about 30 minutes.

7. Place the prepared dough on a floured table and knead it again. Then roll the dough into a rope, cut it into pieces, and shape the pieces into balls.

8. Roll each kolobok into an oval flatbread and generously sprinkle with sugar (about a teaspoon heaped). You can also sprinkle with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon.

   Required ingredients:

   • Sugar: 1 tablespoon

9. Roll the flatbread into a roll with sugar inside, then fold the roll in half.

10. Make a cut at the bend of the roll, about halfway through, while firmly squeezing the ends.

11. Then unfold the cut. It resulted in a pastry in the shape of a 'heart'.

12. Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (grease the paper with oil). Let the pastries rise for 15 minutes, then brush with beaten egg.

    Required ingredients:

    • Chicken egg: 1 piece

13. Bake homemade buns in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 15 minutes.
