HOW TO:
Place the ingredients for the dough into the bowl of a stand mixer. Use a paddle attachment to combine everything until it begins to come together into a dough. Tip out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, about 2 minutes. Put it back in the bowl and gradually add the softened butter, 1-2 tsp at a time, while mixing on a medium setting.
Transfer to a separate bowl, bring together into a ball, cover with cling film and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size (approx. 1-2 hours).
Take the dough to a workbench and knead it smoothly with the remaining flour. Roll out the dough into a flat rectangle, about 30x40 cm. Spread the filling and roll up from the long side. Cut the roll into 2 cm wide pieces.
Arrange on prepared baking trays, at least 4 cm apart and cover loosely with greased cling film. Leave to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 220°C.
Place egg and milk in a small bowl then beat to combine. Brush risen buns with egg wash then sprinkle with pearl sugar. Bake for 8-10 minutes (220°C) until cooked and golden. Transfer to wire racks and allow to cool before serving.
