Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup whole milk, lukewarm
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Cream Filling Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the whole milk until lukewarm and dissolve the active dry yeast with a bit of sugar to activate. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and softened butter. Slowly add the yeast mixture and beaten eggs to the dry ingredients. Knead the dough on a floured surface or with a mixer until smooth and elastic. Cover with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  2. Make the Cream Filling: While the dough rises, blend the cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, leaving them whole or slightly mashed depending on your preferred filling texture. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator until firm and ready to spread.
  3. Shape the Buns: After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll out into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the raspberry cream filling evenly over the dough. Carefully roll it up jelly-roll style and cut into individual bun-sized pieces. Place buns on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and allow to rest for 20-30 minutes to puff up.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the tops of the buns with a beaten egg to achieve a golden finish. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving for the best texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh raspberries for the brightest, most natural flavor.
  • Knead dough thoroughly to develop gluten and ensure fluffy buns.
  • Keep all ingredients at room temperature to help yeast activation and improve dough texture.
  • Avoid overfilling buns to prevent difficulties in shaping and uneven baking.
  • Allow buns to cool slightly so flavors settle and the cream filling firms up.
