Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 25 grams Granulated sugar
• 5 grams Salt
• 150 milliliters Whole milk
• 50 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 200 milliliters Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 15 grams Confectioners' sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 250 grams of all-purpose flour, 7 grams of instant yeast, 25 grams of granulated sugar, and 5 grams of salt.

Step 2

Warm 150 milliliters of whole milk until it's lukewarm (around 37°C) and add it to the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Melt 50 grams of unsalted butter and let it cool slightly before adding it to the bowl.

Step 4

Lightly beat one large egg and mix it into the dough ingredients.

Step 5

Knead the mixture by hand or in a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 10-12 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and divide it into 8 equal pieces.

Step 8

Shape each piece into a ball, then arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each ball.

Step 9

Cover the dough balls with a cloth and let them proof for another 30 minutes.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 11

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 12

Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 13

While the buns are cooling, whip 200 milliliters of heavy cream with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 15 grams of confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form.

Step 14

Once the buns are cool, slice each one horizontally without cutting all the way through.

Step 15

Fill each bun with a generous dollop of whipped cream.

Step 16

Dust the tops with additional confectioners' sugar if desired and serve immediately.
