Butter Flower Bread - Lotus Flower Shaped

Butter Flower Bread - Lotus Flower Shaped

In the video, I have cut the dough into rectangles but I recommend to cut into squares for the best shapes in the final result.
The inner circle resembles a lotus flower and the outer circle is free form.

Dough:
375g (3 cups) all-purpose flour/plain flour
1 tbsp sugar 
1/2 tsp salt
1-1/2 tsp instant yeast
1 tsp vanilla sugar
3/4 cup warm milk
3 tbsp butter, melted
 Extra flour for kneading

Sugar Butter:
2/3 cup(150g) unsalted butter, room temperature
5 tbsp sugar
Mix well and keep a chill in the fridge until ready to use. If you see the butter too soft during working, please chill in the fridge to keep solid.

Directions:

• In a large bowl: flour, 1 tbsp sugar, salt, yeast, vanilla sugar. Stir. Pour warm milk, continue stirring. Add 3 tbsp melted butter. Stir until the dough moist. 

• Put the dough on the counter. The dough is sticky, add flour during the kneading process. Knead until the dough smooth, about 6-8 minutes.
•  Drizzle a little oil to coat the dough. Form a ball and cover for about an hour. After the dough expands, form back into a ball. 
• Divide into 6 pieces and form a small balls. Cover the dough to prevent drying. Take 1 dough and roll out into a thin rectangle square. Set aside while working on the next dough. 
• Smear butter mixture over the dough evenly. Cover with the thin dough before. Stretch out the thin dough to cover the butter. Repeat the process. 
• For the last layer, smooth the surface with a rolling pin. Cover and slide a flat board under it and keep in the fridge for 30-60 minutes. 
• Smooth the dough and cut into a square, about 32 cm square. Use the remaining dough for different shapes. 
• Cut the dough into 8 pieces, 8 x 8 cm. In the video show a rectangle but I recommend to cut into squares for the best shapes in the end result.
• Cut the square dough diagonally become a triangle. Give a mark in the middle for easy folding.
•  Shape like petals and put on a baking sheet with baking mat, pointed side facing up.  The inner circle similar to lotus flower shape, the rest are free shapes. Egg wash.
• Bake at 180°C preheated oven for 25 - 30 minutes. Top-bottom heat An oven may vary. 
• Best to eat warm.
