Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup warm water (105–115°F / 40–46°C)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm milk (105–115°F / 40–46°C)
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 225 grams cream cheese, softened
  • 4 tablespoons strawberry jam
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix warm water and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add warm milk, butter, egg, sugar, and salt. Stir until combined.
  3. Mix in 3 cups of flour, one cup at a time. Add remaining flour gradually until a soft dough forms.
  4. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 1/2 hours until doubled.
  6. While rising, beat cream cheese, strawberry jam, and vanilla until combined. Refrigerate until needed.
  7. Punch down the dough and divide into 8 portions. Roll each into an 8×4-inch rectangle.
  8. Spoon 1–1 1/2 tablespoons of filling onto the upper center of each dough piece. Fold top third over and seal edges. Slice the bottom third into strips and fold up over the filled portion.
  9. Place buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 1 hour until puffy.
  10. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Brush buns with beaten egg.
  11. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use raspberry or blueberry jam for a flavor variation.
  • Add lemon zest to filling for brightness.
  • Sprinkle a little sugar over the filling for added sweetness.
  • Store at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for 4 days.
  • Reheat buns in the microwave for 8–12 seconds or thaw and warm if frozen.
