How to Make Marmalade Buns
- Dissolve 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast in 1/2 cup warm water (105-115°F) with 1 teaspoon sugar.
- In a separate saucepan, heat 1/2 cup milk with 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter over medium-low heat. If desired, stir in 1 teaspoon orange blossom water.
- Remove from heat and whisk in 2 large eggs.
- In a large bowl, sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Add the dissolved yeast mixture and the egg mixture to the dry ingredients. Knead for 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- While the dough rises, prepare the filling: gently heat 1 cup marmalade in a small saucepan or microwave until softened. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a 16x12-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
- Spread the marmalade filling evenly over the dough.
- Tightly roll the dough lengthwise into a log.
- Cut the log into 16 equal slices (approximately 1-inch thick).
- Arrange the slices in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of marmalade with 1 tablespoon of water to create a glaze. Brush this mixture over the tops of the buns.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let the buns cool in the pan for 10 minutes before glazing with a simple powdered sugar glaze (optional).
