How To Make New Jersey Crumb Buns

Combine all ingredients except for the butter in a heavy-duty mixer with a dough hook.

Mix on low for 2 minutes until the dough starts to form.

Add butter pieces one at a time while continuing to mix on low until all butter is added.

Increase speed to medium and mix for 6 minutes until the dough is stretchy, sticky, and webby.

Place the dough in a well-oiled bowl and cover with a towel. Let it rise for about 1 hour until puffier.

10 minutes before the dough is done rising, gather ingredients for the strusel topping.

In a bowl, combine melted butter, cinnamon, salt, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until well incorporated.

Add cake flour little by little to the mixture until thick. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.

Transfer the dough to a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, flour your hands, and press the dough to the edges evenly.

Break the strusel topping into large crumbs and scatter it across the top of the dough, ensuring to cover the edges.

Bake in a 350°F oven for about 35 minutes until the top is golden brown.
