Items needed to answer the question, How do I make matcha cruffins. Items include: all-purpose flour granulated sugar matcha powder salt unsalted butter active dry yeast warm milk powdered sugar

all-purpose flour 2 cups
granulated sugar 1/4 cup
matcha powder 1 tablespoon
salt a pinch
unsalted butter 1/2 cup
active dry yeast 1 packet
warm milk 1/2 cup
powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Take note
Be careful not to overmix the dough, as it can make the cruffins tough. Also, don't forget to preheat your oven to the correct temperature for the perfect bake!

1

Prepare the matcha dough

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of matcha powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well combined.

2

Add butter and yeast mixture

Cut 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Add the butter to the dry ingredients and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, dissolve 1 packet of active dry yeast in 1/2 cup of warm milk. Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.

3

Knead the dough

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

4

Roll out the dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

5

Shape the cruffins

Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into long strips. Take one strip and roll it into a tight coil, starting from one end. Place the coil in a greased muffin tin. Repeat this process with the remaining strips of dough.

6

Let them rise again

Cover the muffin tin with a damp cloth and let the cruffins rise for another 30 minutes to an hour, or until they have puffed up nicely.

7

Bake and enjoy!

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once preheated, bake the cruffins for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and enjoy your delicious homemade matcha cruffins!
