Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup sweetened cream cheese
- 1/4 cup currant jam
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and a teaspoon of sugar. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add softened butter, egg, and the yeast mixture. Knead until smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough and roll out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread cream cheese evenly over the dough, then dollop currant jam on top. Roll up tightly from the long side to form a log.
- Slice into 1-inch thick rounds and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the dough is fully risen for fluffy buns.
- You can substitute with your favorite jam or cheese spread.
- Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
