These charming snail-shaped buns are a delightful treat that combines a soft, fluffy dough with a sweet cinnamon-sugar filling. The dough is rolled out, spread with butter, and sprinkled with a cinnamon-sugar mixture before being rolled up and cut into spiral shapes resembling snails. These buns are perfect for a cozy breakfast or as an afternoon snack alongside a cup of tea or coffee.

Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Activate yeast

In a large bowl, mix warm milk, active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let it stand for 5 minutes until foamy.

2
Add sugar and butter

Add 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of softened butter to the yeast mixture. Mix until the butter is melted and combined.

3
Add egg and salt

Beat in the egg and salt until well incorporated.

4
Gradually add flour

Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.

5
Knead dough

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

6
Let dough rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

7
Prepare filling

In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar with the cinnamon.

8
Roll out dough

Punch down the risen dough and roll it into a 12x18 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.

9
Spread butter and sprinkle filling

Spread the remaining 1/4 cup of softened butter over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.

10
Roll up dough

Starting from the long side, roll up the dough tightly into a log.

11
Cut into spiral shapes

Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal pieces. Place each piece, cut side up, on a greased baking sheet, shaping it into a snail-like spiral.

12
Let buns rise

Cover the shaped buns with a clean towel and let them rise for about 30 minutes or until nearly doubled in size.

13
Preheat oven

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake the snail-shaped buns for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
