New York Crumb Buns

 I love indulgent recipes!  This happens to be one of them.  New York Crumb Buns are a cinnamon roll with yummy cinnamon crumbs on top.  Trust me these will go fast.

Dough:

• 1 cup warm water
• 1 cup warm whole milk
• 4 ounces unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons SAF instant yeast

Filling:

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Crumbs:

• 1 3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 6 ounces unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• Powdered sugar

1. Combine warm liquids with butter and sugar and allow butter to melt.
2. Add eggs.
3. Add enough flour to make a fairly soft dough.  Add yeast, then salt.  Knead until smooth and elastic.
4. Ferment until doubled, about an hour.  This will be wetter dough.
5. Combine filling ingredients and set aside.
6. For crumbs, combine all ingredients except powdered sugar and mix by hand, until crumbs are formed.  Do not over mix!
7. Roll out dough into an 18” x 26” rectangle.  Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with filling.
8. Roll up jelly roll style and cut into 1” pieces.
9. Place on buttered half sheet pan touching one another.  Brush tops with melted butter and top with crumbs.
10. Proof until doubled, about 40 minutes.
11. Bake @ 400°F for 15 – 20 minutes.
12. When cool, dust with powdered sugar.

Enjoy!
