Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 Eggs
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Raspberry jam
- 1 Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt. Stir to blend.
In a small saucepan, heat the whole milk and unsalted butter over medium-low heat until the butter has melted and the mixture reaches about 110°F. Do not overheat.
Add the warm milk mixture and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8–10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it into a large rectangle about 12x18 inches.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Spoon the raspberry jam over the cream cheese filling, spreading it gently.
Starting from one of the longer edges, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 even pieces and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan, cut side up. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the buns lightly with the egg wash.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Allow the buns to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with icing for extra sweetness.
