Sponging Swiss bun recipe with Thermomix

The Swiss buns, also known as milk or Swiss buns simply, owe their name to the Swiss coffee in Madrid, a bar that was located in the well -known Alcalá Street, there by the 19th century. In this case, in Recipesgatis we have made some spongy Swiss buns with Thermomix that we can eat both for breakfast and to snack. The mass of these buns is a brioche type, so you can give several uses and formats. It differs from the typical buns because they carry a cut or cleft over, which is filled with crystallized or powder sugar.

Ingredients to make spongy Swiss buns with Thermomix:

1. The first step is to mix all the ingredients, but not randomly, but as follows:- In the Thermomix vessel, we beat milk, butter and sugar for 2 minutes at 37 ºC.

– Next, add the yeast and eggs and mix for 5 seconds in speed 4.

– Then we incorporate half of the amount of flour we have and mix another 15 seconds at speed 6.

– And then we add the rest of the flour and salt, close the glass and program the Thermomix 3 more minutes at spike speed.

2. We have to let the dough rest in the same glass of the Themomix until its size doubles (approximately 30 minutes).

3. We spread some flour on a flat surface, such as the kitchen countertop, and place the dough. Once this is done, we give it a cylindrical shape with your hands and cut portions of approximately 65 grams, with the help of a knife or a spatula.

Trick: We can make half nights with the same dough, but cutting it into approximately 25 grams portions, without cutting or sugary, just painting them with beaten egg.

4. Boil the portions of dough (it will be soft and sticky) and form the buns to crush them slightly. We place them on a baking sheet on a silpat or lined with baking paper, and let them stand in a temperate place where there are no air currents.

5. When we see that the buns have folded their volume (about 45 minutes), we make a cut along and paint them with beaten egg and moistened or crystallized sugar.

6. We preheat the oven at 250ºC and once it has taken temperature, we bake the Swiss buns for approximately 7 minutes. To decorate, we can use poppy or raw sesame seeds and bake 5 more minutes.

Trick: Depending on the oven, cooking will take more or less but, yes, it must be quick to be tender.

7. We can accompany this recipe for spongy Swiss buns with Thermomix with a chocolate shake, with a classic coffee with milk, or even, with a glass of milk only.
