A true laminated bakery morning bun with a crisp, flaky, deeply caramelized exterior, defined layers, a soft and tender center, and a cinnamon-sugar spiral.
This is my current bakery Morning Buns formula, developed as a standalone laminated pastry rather than using my croissant dough. The détrempe is lightly enriched and paired with a high-butterfat roll-in butter, cinnamon-sugar filling, caramelized pan base, and light cinnamon-sugar finish.
The recipe uses a preferred overnight method and yields 12 standard bakery morning buns, with guidance included for a same-day schedule and 6 jumbo buns.
Bakeshop Collection members already have access to this recipe. Do not purchase it separately from the Market.
For anyone who is not a Bakeshop Collection member, the recipe is also available à la carte in the Market.
If you've followed my work for a while, you may have seen me, or other bakers, make and post my original Morning Buns recipe released in 2025.
This is a revision of that morning bun, not an unrelated replacement product.
The intended pastry is essentially the same: a laminated morning bun with the characteristic flaky, caramelized exterior, cinnamon-sugar spiral, and tender layered center. Photos and bakes you may have seen from the previous release are still representative of the exact style of morning bun this recipe is designed to produce.
What has changed is the development behind it.
As I've continued working with laminated dough and revisiting this product, I've made refinements to both the formula and the production process. The revised file has a more controlled overnight method, updated dough formulation, tightened lamination specifications, clearer temperature and butter-plasticity targets, improved proofing guidance, and significantly expanded troubleshooting and production notes.
Rather than republishing two versions of essentially the same pastry and leaving bakers wondering which one I currently recommend, the original 2025 file is retired. This revised formula is the Morning Buns recipe I recommend and support moving forward.
Please do not purchase this revised recipe again.

Laminated pastry requires more technique and temperature awareness than a standard enriched dough. This file references fundamental terms such as détrempe, butter block, lock-in, letter fold, book fold, proofing, and temperature control.
Experienced bakers will find detailed production specifications throughout the file, but you do not need to be a professional pastry baker to make these.
A determined beginner can absolutely use this recipe as an introduction to lamination. Just expect a learning curve. Lamination is a physical skill developed through repetition: learning how properly conditioned butter feels, when dough needs additional rest, how much pressure to use while rolling, and what a properly proofed laminated pastry looks and feels like.
The file provides those physical cues alongside temperatures, dimensions, and timing so you're not working from the clock alone.
Please do not purchase this recipe if you require or rely on step-by-step photos or video instruction to successfully complete laminated pastry. This is a detailed written recipe file with measurements, temperatures, timing, physical cues, troubleshooting, and process guidance, but it is not a photographed step-by-step tutorial or video course.
A bakery-style laminated morning bun developed for a crisp, caramelized exterior with a softer, tender laminated interior.
It is not a cinnamon roll, brioche, or simplified non-laminated morning bun, and it is not the same formula as my bakery croissant recipe.
It's suitable for home bakers, cottage bakers, cafés, bakeries, pastry students, and professionals looking for a standalone morning bun formula for personal baking or production.
This is a digital recipe file. Due to the nature of this product, there are no refunds, please refer to the FAQ page to checkout common questions!
Metric measurements are primary for accuracy; U.S. volume equivalents are included as a courtesy.
Laminated pastry is sensitive to flour, butter, room temperature, refrigerator temperature, proofing conditions, and individual technique. The file provides the tested temperatures and dimensions alongside physical cues to help you make appropriate adjustments in your own environment.
Purchase permits use of the recipe for personal or commercial baking.
