Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed to about 110°F
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup fresh raspberries, mashed
- 1 tablespoon rose water
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon rose water (for glaze)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the warmed milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by mixing the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, mashed raspberries, and rose water in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the dough.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long side to form a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Cover the dish with a towel and let the buns rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F during this time.
- Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and rose water until smooth. Drizzle over the warm buns before serving.
Notes
- For a fruity twist, substitute the raspberries with blueberries or strawberries.
- If you prefer a stronger rose flavor, increase the rose water in the filling and glaze to 2 tablespoons.
