Fluffy Braided Buna with Vanilla Sugar!

Ingredients:
250 g all-purpose flour
30 g sugar
Pinch of salt
3 1/2 tsp. dry yeast
100 ml lukewarm milk
30 g soft butter
1 egg (room temperature)

For the vanilla filling:
50 g soft butter
1 tbsp. vanilla essence
30 g sugar (adjust to taste)
Mix the filling into a smooth consistency and set aside.

For brushing:
20 g melted butter for brushing the plaited buns before baking.

Method:
To a bowl, add the flour and create a well in the center. Add the dry yeast, 1 tsp if sugar, and 2-3 tbsp of lukewarm milk. Stir the center lightly and let it rest until it is bubbly.
Add the remaining milk, sugar, salt, soft butter, egg and whisk. Add to the flour and knead into a soft dough. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled.
Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a large rectangle on a floured surface.
Spread the vanilla butter filling evenly over the dough.
Fold the dough: bring one side to the center, then fold the other side on top. Cut into even strips.
Slice each strip lengthwise into three parts and braid them (like koeksisters).
Place each braided bun into a greased muffin pan. Leave to rise again for 20-30 minutes. While the buns are left to rise, preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Brush with melted butter and bake.
