Friends, at last, the morning buns are here ☀️☀️☀️

This week, I ran two experiments. Up first: assembling the pan of buns, storing them in the fridge, and baking them in the morning. The result? Success! ✅ You do still have to remove the pan from the fridge at least 3 hours before you plan to serve them to allow them to fully proof and bake, but you could always remove the pan, then return to bed.

Second, I sped up the timeline: On Thursday night, I mixed the dough, chilled it for 1 hour, rolled it and folded it, then stored it in the fridge until Friday morning. On Friday morning, I proceeded with the recipe. The result? Success! ✅

Friends, I may not ever make another pan of morning buns in my life, but I feel ready to hand it off to you. Orange-scented, cinnamon-sugared, these morning buns are heaven, perfect with a cup of black coffee and a great project to get you into holiday baking mode. I hope you love them.

PS: These truly bring me back to my first visit to Tartine, where these glorious buns stole my heart:

"Beautiful loaf! I used the half measurements but now wish I had made two! Knowing what the internal temp was super helpful; otherwise, I would have taken it out too soon."
