Time 40m

Yield 12 large buns

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1/4 ounce dry yeast (1 package)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup lukewarm milk (110 to 115 degrees)
5 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional as needed
6 large egg yolks
4 ounces (1 stick) butter, melted, plus additional melted butter for brushing
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

In a large mixing bowl, combine yeast, granulated sugar, milk and 1 cup lukewarm water. Mix well, sprinkle with 1 cup flour, and mix again until smooth. Cover and set aside in a warm place until batter is risen and foamy, about 45 minutes.
By hand, or using a mixer, mix egg yolks into batter one by one until well blended. Gradually add remaining 4 cups flour. Add 4 ounces melted butter and mix until batter is very smooth. Cover and set aside in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Brush two baking sheets with melted butter. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Dust a work surface with flour, and divide dough into 12 portions. Shape each portion into a rope about 12 inches long, and brush lightly with melted butter. Coil gently but tightly to make a slightly rounded bun shape, tucking the inside end of the rope into the center of the bun, and the outside end under the bun. Place buns on baking sheets about 3 inches apart. Brush tops with butter, cover lightly, and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
Uncover buns and bake until light golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and dust generously with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature.
