Equipment
- Large Bowl

Ingredients
Bun recipe
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
- 200 ml of warm milk
- 400 g of plain or all-purpose flour
- 5 g of dry yeast
- 60 g of unsalted butter
- A pinch of salt
Filling recipe
- 150 g of Cream cheese
- 1.5 teaspoon of Icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon of Lemon juice
Basting Recipe
- 100 ml of milk
- 40 g of unsalted butter
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 tablespoon of Sugar
- 5-6 sprigs of parsley
- 1 Egg optional
Instructions
- Add warm milk, sifted flour, salt, sugar and dry yeast to a bowl.
- Stir the ingredients then add melted butter and knead into a soft dough. If it gets too sticky, you can add some flour. Cover the bowl with cling film and leave for 40-50 mins in a warm place. The dough should double in size. Take it out of the bowl. Preheat oven at 360F/180C.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal balls and place on a baking sheet. Cover the buns with cling film and leave for 10 minutes. Then remove the film and place the buns in the hot oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
- While the buns are baking, mix the cream cheese with the lemon juice and icing sugar. In a separate bowl, combine all the ingredients for the dressing, including melted butter, parsley, milk, unsalted butter, sugar, egg and minced garlic cloves.
- Then let the buns cool and then make 6-8 slits in the top to make petals or a star. Place the cream cheese filling between the petals of the buns using a spoon or pastry bag.
- Baste each bun with the milk, garlic and herb mixture. Then bake at 360F/180C for another 10-15 minutes. Finally, leave the buns to cool.
Notes
- Yeast: Check the date on the yeast before you prepare the bread. If the yeast has expired then the bread will fail to rise.
- Brioche: If you are short on time or prefer not to make the bread, you can buy ready-made brioche bread from the supermarket instead.
