Step 1
Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add warm milk and softened butter, stirring until shaggy dough forms.
Step 2
Knead dough 3–4 minutes in the bowl until smooth and elastic, then divide into 4 equal pieces.
Step 3
Flatten each piece, spoon 2 tbsp jam into center, fold edges up to seal, and place seam-side down on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
Step 4
Cover with a towel and let rise 8–10 minutes until puffy and warm to the touch.
Step 5
Bake at 375°F for 12–14 minutes until golden brown and a light tap sounds hollow.
Step 6
Cool 2 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature.
