Just like any bread dough, these buns can be made into bread loaves and bread rolls, whatever shape you want them to have, you can let them be. Once paired with the pastry cream, these buns will be your new favorite for breakfast. Heat the milk and the butter in a saucepan until it just comes just up to the boil. Whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and the cake flour.

Then pour the boiled milk and whisk to blend. Pour the boiled mixture through a strainer and put over low heat and stirring or whisking constantly until thickened. When the cream is thickened enough and the flour scent is gone let’s put this aside left to cool with plastic food wrap covered on top. Pour the cake flour and bread flour through a strainer and mix them with salt, sugar, and the yeast.

Warm up the milk water and fresh cream (do not boil them). Mix the flour with all warmed liquids and knead the mixture until the dough is smooth and elastic. When the dough is smooth and elastic add butter at room temperature and again knead the mixture until the dough is smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough with plastic food wrap and the dough will need to be fermented 1 hour or until the dough size is doubled.

When the dough is double in size let the gas leak out of the dough lightly slice into 8 pieces and dough will need to be fermented again for another 15 minutes. Using fermented dough roll it out with a rolling pin and let the gas leak out of the dough then place the custard cream in the center then shape them to a rounded ball.

The cake will need to be fermented again until the dough size is doubled. Bake cake goes into the pan and bake them as low heat and make sure lid is on. When it’s hot outside of cake should be crunchy and when it’s cold it becomes soft, please enjoy at both temperatures.
