Equipment

  • Large mixing bowls
  • Stand mixer (optional)
  • Baking tray
  • Parchment paper
  • Sharp knife

Ingredients

  • 5 g Yeast
  • 15 g Warm water
  • 500 g High gluten flour
  • 50 g White sugar
  • 5 g Salt
  • 15 g Honey
  • 75 g Beaten egg
  • 235 g Milk
  • 50 g Unsalted Butter (softened)
  • 200 g Cream cheese (softened)
  • 50 g Sugar
  • 160 g Heavy cream
  • 85 g Butter (melted)
  • 25 g Sugar
  • 2 g Salt
  • 40 g Heavy cream
  • 16 g Garlic (minced)
  • 4 g Chopped parsley
  • 25 g Mayonnaise

Instructions

  • Mix all bread ingredients except butter in a large bowl.
  • Knead until a rough dough forms, then add softened butter little by little.
  • Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour.
  • Punch down the dough to release air; divide into equal-sized balls and shape into smooth balls.
  • Arrange shaped dough on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and let them rise for another 45-60 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F) and bake buns for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Prepare the filling by beating cream cheese, sugar, and heavy cream until smooth.
  • Mix melted butter, sugar, salt, heavy cream, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and mayonnaise for the garlic brush.
  • Make a cross-cut on top of each bun and spoon in the cream cheese filling.
  • Brush the tops with the garlic sauce.
  • Lower oven temperature to 160°C (320°F) and bake for another 15 minutes.

Notes

Use fresh yeast for best results and to ensure the dough rises beautifully. Allow sufficient time for the dough to rise for fluffy buns. If the garlic sauce is too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out. Experiment with different cheeses for the filling, like cheddar or mozzarella, for variety. For storage, keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or freeze for up to a month. Reheat in the oven to restore softness and flavor.
