Description
Delicious cream filled buns perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups Bread Flour (All-purpose flour is a good substitute.)
- 1 cup Whole Milk (Almond or oat milk for dairy-free.)
- 2 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast (Instant yeast can be used.)
- 1/4 cup Sugar (Use coconut sugar or honey for variety.)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk (Consider evaporated milk for a lighter option.)
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter (Margarine works for dairy-free.)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream (Coconut cream is a non-dairy alternative.)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened Desiccated Coconut (Shredded coconut works as well.)
Instructions
- Warm the whole milk to about 100–110°F, then add the active dry yeast and a pinch of sugar. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a bowl, combine bread flour, sugar, salt, sweetened condensed milk, unsalted butter, and egg. Mix until well incorporated.
- Pour the activated yeast mixture into the flour mixture and fold until combined. Knead for 10–12 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide into 10 pieces. Shape each into a ball and let them rise on a lined tray for 35–45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an egg wash and brush it on top of the buns.
- Bake the buns for about 18 minutes until golden brown. Remove and cool slightly on a wire rack.
- In a bowl, whip the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar to medium-stiff peaks for the filling.
- Fill the cooled buns with the whipped cream using a knife or piping bag, and sprinkle with desiccated coconut.
- Enjoy immediately or store filled buns in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, use almond or oat milk, and coconut cream.
- Consider using coconut sugar or honey for the sugar.
- Shredded coconut can be used instead of desiccated coconut.
