INGREDIENTS
- Dough
185 g flour
95 g milk
25 g sugar
6 g yeast
½ tsp salt
1 egg
32 g butter (room temp and cubed)
- Cream cheese filling
100 g cream cheese (room temp)
15 g honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
- Toppings
An egg for the egg wash
90 g of blueberry jam
Fresh blueberries (optional)
Rosemary (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Add all the “dough” ingredients, except the butter, into a big bowl and knead until the dough comes together (I used a stand mixer at low speed for 10 min with the hook attachment).
- Add cubed butter and knead until the dough comes together. (I left it in the stand mixer at medium speed for 10 min).
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and let it proof in a warm place for 90 minutes approx.
- Divide into 4 pieces and roll into balls, flatten each dough ball and use your fingers to create a center for the fillings in each bun.
- Place the buns on a baking sheet and let them rise for 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile for the Cream cheese filling: Combine the cream cheese, honey and vanilla in a small bowl.
- When the buns finish proofing use your fingers to create a larger center and fill it with the cream cheese filling and jam, brush the ends of the bun with egg wash.
- Bake at 180C for 14 minutes or until golden.
- Add rosemary and fresh blueberries to decorate (optional).
