Combine all dry ingredients: flour, yeast, salt, and sugar in a bowl.

Make a well in the dry ingredients and add water, mixing with a scraper or bench knife until combined.

Add butter to the mixture and knead for about 2 to 3 minutes.

Cover the dough with a bowl and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Knead the dough for another 3 to 4 minutes after resting.

Cover the dough again and let it rest for another 15 minutes.

Repeat the kneading process for a total of three times, each followed by a 15-minute rest.

After the final knead, check the dough for windowpane test to ensure it's ready.

Shape the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap, then refrigerate for 3 to 6 hours.

After chilling, dust the bench with flour and roll out the dough to about 1 cm thickness.

Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the rolled-out dough.

Fold the dough like a book, with one side over the other, and press to seal.

Roll the dough out again to maintain the thickness and cut into 2 cm wide strips using a pizza cutter or knife.

Shape each strip by stretching and rolling to create a zigzag pattern while rolling into a bun shape.

Place shaped buns on a baking tray and let them proof for 2 hours at 27°C.

Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).

Bake the buns for 15 minutes until golden brown.

Glaze the baked buns with agave nectar for shine.

Finish with a sprinkle of pearl sugar on top.
