Cinnamon-flavored butterfly buns

  DThese brioches have everything going for them, from their shape and beautiful golden color to their cinnamon flavor. They'll be a lovely addition to your afternoon tea or breakfast table. .

Cinnamon gives these magnificent brioches an exceptional flavor; it's not the first time I've used it in pastries, and each time I'm completely won over! Before you even taste them, I'm sure you'll love the aroma that fills the house while they're still in the oven.

Contrary to what you might think from looking at the ingredients, these brioches are not too sweet, but you can adapt them to your taste by adjusting the amount of sugar you add.

•  500 grams of flour  
•  1 teaspoon of dried yeast or 30g of fresh yeast
•   60 g of sugar

• 80g of butter at room temperature
• 70 g of sugar
• 2 teaspoons of cinnamon

Preparation :

 Mix milk, sugar and yeast. Add the eggs, flour, softened butter and salt.

 Pass After this time, divide the dough into approximately 13 pieces, about 73 grams each. Form into balls.

In a bowl, mix the butter, sugar and cinnamon to obtain a creamy consistency.

Flatten Roll out each ball of dough with a rolling pin, then brush with a spoonful of softened sweetened butter. Roll up the dough like a crepe. Take both ends and fold them underneath, then make incisions and twist the dough to the right and left to give it a butterfly shape.
