Instructions
Make the dough in the stand mixer
Add the wet and dry ingredients (for the dough* list) to the bread machine pan.
Select and start the dough cycle.
Once the dough cycle is complete, place the dough on a lightly floured surface.
Shaping the dough
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts, preferably by weight, and make balls of each.
Keep the rest of the dough balls covered while working on one of the dough balls.
Roll the dough ball to about 3-4 millimeter thickness, and about 10-11 inch diameter.
Place a 10-inch plate on it and cut out the edges with a knife.
Let the round dough disc rest for about 5 minutes and then lift it and keep it on a plate or silicone mat.
Continue with the remaining 3 dough balls and follow the above two steps.
Place one of the rolled discs on a silicone mat or parchment paper.
Apply the butter on top of the rolled dough with the help of a basting brush.
Mix sugar and cinnamon powder in a bowl and apply it generously on top of the dough and spread it evenly.
Place the second rolled disc on top of the first one so that it covers it completely.
Similarly apply butter and spread the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
Continue with the other 2 rolled doughs similarly and do not apply anything on top of the last disc.
Make an indentation with a glass or a bowl of about 2 inches in diameter at the center of the stacked dough sheets.
Carefully cut the dough into 16 equal parts touching the circumference of the indentation.
Take 2 portions and roll them outwards twice and then join their edges.
Cover the star bread with a plastic wrap and let it rest for about 30-40 minutes.
Baking star bread
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Bake the star bread uncovered for about 20 minutes or until it is golden brown in color.
Remove the tray from the oven.
Topping
Apply butter with a basting brush while the star bread is warm.
Sprinkle some icing sugar.
Notes
For consistent results, weigh the flour while making the dough.
Bread flour
or
all-purpose flour
can be used to make star bread.
The dough can also be kneaded in a
stand mixer
and then proofed in the
instant pot
or oven for about 1 hour before shaping into rolls.
Check out this post for detailed instructions on
how to knead dough in a stand mixer and proof it in the instant pot
.
Follow the remaining steps starting from "shaping the dough"
If the rolled dough sheet shrinks, just roll it a little bit after placing on top of the filling of another sheet.
