  2. In the bowl for a  stand mixer, add unsalted butter, sugar, and salt. Mix well. Add eggs and yeast/milk mixture and mix until combined. Fit your stand mixer with a dough hook. Add all-purpose and bread flour to the wet ingredients and mix for 7 minutes or until the dough is smooth and slightly tacky.
  3. Place the dough ball into a clean greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a tea towel. Proof for 90 minutes or until double in size.

ASSEMBLE

  2. Roll the dough along the long side into a tight roll. Cut the roll into 1 1/4 inch slices and place the rolls cut side down onto a greased 9×13 baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap and proof for 1 hours or until it’s doubled in size.
  3. Bake the dough at 350 F for 30 minutes and cool for 15 minutes.
  4. While the buns are cooling, make the icing by whisking all the ingredients into a smooth paste. Drizzle on top of the buns and enjoy!
