Instructions

Bread + cookie top(2h 10m)

Make enriched dough with bread flour, butter, egg, sugar, yeast. Knead 10 min, rise 1 hr. Make cookie topping: butter, sugar, flour, egg yolk — it should be a thick paste. Divide dough into 6 buns. Spread cookie paste on top of each bun in a thin layer. Score a crosshatch with a knife. Rise 30 min. Bake at 350°F 15 min.

Pro Tips for Western Kitchens

The 'pineapple' refers to the crackly cookie crust pattern, not the fruit. Score the topping before baking to get that iconic checkerboard look.
