👩🍳 Instructions
Mix the yeast with 50 ml lukewarm milk and 5 g sugar, then let it activate.
In a separate bowl, combine the flours, remaining sugar, remaining lukewarm milk, butter, and a pinch of salt.
Combine all the ingredients and knead everything together until a smooth dough forms.
Cover the dough and let it rise for about 1 hour.
Once risen, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a small ball.
Roll each ball into a thin sheet, spread with butter, and evenly sprinkle with cinnamon sugar (made by mixing 20 g ground cinnamon and 50 g sugar for all 8 cinnamon hearts).
Roll the dough sheet into a firm roll and shape it into a heart (see the video for detailed shaping instructions).
Let the shaped hearts rest for about 10 minutes.
Brush with the beaten quail egg mixed with milk.
Bake at 190 °C (374 °F) using top and bottom heat for 15–20 minutes or until beautifully golden.
And Enjoy 🤎
