These Pear Breakfast Buns are great for any fall and winter occasion! You can make these sweet fruit-filled buns for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack.

Filled with juicy pears, warming cinnamon, and crunchy walnuts and finished off with an apricot glaze, these buns make for the perfect holiday breakfast!
To make these melt-in-your-mouth delicious buns, first, mix flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add sugar and yeast. Pour in warmed milk with melted butter and mix to form a dough. Knead the dough until smooth, and then let it rest until doubled in size. Now it’s time to shape the buns. Roll the dough out to a rectangle and spread the dough with softened butter, and sprinkle on sugar, cinnamon, walnuts, and pears. Roll the dough and cut into eight even pieces. Arrange the buns in a baking pan and let rise. Once raised, bake right away. Then just glaze, eat, and enjoy!
To make Pear Breakfast Buns, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large bowl, mix 475 grams flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Make a well in the center and add 20 grams sugar and 1 teaspoon instant dried yeast.
In a saucepan, place 50 grams butter and 200 milliliters milk and heat until the butter is melted.
Add the butter mixture and 1 egg to the flour mixture and mix to form a dough.
Knead the dough by hand on a lightly floured surface for 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and bouncy.
Transfer the dough into a lightly oiled bowl and cover with oiled plastic wrap. Let sit in a warm place for 2-3 hours or until doubled in size.
Lightly grease a 9-inch round springform pan.
Once the dough has doubled in size, roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a ½-inch thick rectangle, roughly 15 x 9-inch.
Spread 20 grams of softened butter on top. Sprinkle 60 grams sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 diced pear, and 100 grams chopped walnuts evenly over the dough.
Roll up the dough tightly into a log. Trim the ends and cut the log into 8 even slices. Place 7 buns around the edge of the pan and 1 in the middle.
Cover the pan with oiled plastic wrap and leave in a warm place for up to 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375 °F.
Remove the plastic wrap and bake the buns on a baking tray for 25 minutes.
In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons jam with 1 teaspoon water.
Brush the glaze over the still-warm buns. Remove the buns from the springform pan while they are still warm to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
Serve warm and enjoy!
