Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk, lukewarm
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk until lukewarm, then dissolve the yeast with 1 teaspoon of sugar. Let the mixture activate for 5–10 minutes until bubbly. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter, yeast mixture, and beaten eggs, then mix until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size to develop a fluffy texture.
  3. Shape the Buns: Gently punch down the risen dough to release air. Divide into equal portions about the size of a small peach. Flatten each piece slightly, place a small handful of fresh raspberries in the center, then fold the dough up and pinch to seal. Place the buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  4. Second Rise: Cover the shaped buns and let them rise for another 30–45 minutes until slightly puffed.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the tops of the buns with an egg wash for a golden crust. Bake for 18–22 minutes until lightly golden and springy to touch. Remove from oven and cool completely before adding the cream.
  6. Prepare the Cream Filling: Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form to create a light, luscious filling.
  7. Assemble the Raspberry Cream Buns: Once cooled, carefully slice each bun horizontally without cutting all the way through. Spoon or pipe whipped cream inside generously, then gently press the buns closed. Optionally dust with powdered sugar or garnish with extra berries.

Notes

  • Use milk and eggs at room temperature for even dough rising.
  • Knead just enough to develop gluten; avoid overworking for soft buns.
  • Choose ripe, firm raspberries to prevent excess moisture.
  • Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for fluffier results.
  • Allow dough to fully rise for best texture; patience is key.
