1

Weigh out 200g of butter for the dough and cut into cubes. Weigh out 300g of butter for the filling and let it soften at room temperature.

2

Combine all dough ingredients except for the butter in a mixing bowl. Use cold milk and egg. Knead in a stand mixer, starting on low speed until combined, then increase to low-medium speed and knead until you can perform a gluten test, about 10-20 minutes.

3

Add the cubed butter and knead on slow speed until incorporated, then increase to low-medium speed and knead for another 5-10 minutes. Cover the dough and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

4

Mix the filling ingredients: butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl until well combined. If too hard to spread, warm slightly in the microwave or water bath.

5

Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a thick rectangle, approximately 70-80cm wide and 40-50cm deep. Spread the filling over the dough, almost to the edges.

6

Fold the top third of the dough down and the bottom third up to create three layers of dough. Roll out the dough to about 25-30cm deep and 80-90cm wide.

7

Cut the dough into 24 equal pieces. To tie the knots, take a strip of dough, hold it between your thumb, index finger, and middle finger, twist it 2-3 times around your fingers, then pull the end through the loop and place the knot on a baking sheet with space between them.

8

Cover the knots with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 1-2 hours until slightly puffy.

9

Brush the knots with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 230°C for 12-15 minutes until golden brown, slightly darker than regular buns. Cool on a wire rack under a kitchen towel for at least 10 minutes before serving.
