Finishing Ingredients

- Preparing the dough
In a large bowl, combine bread flour, caster sugar, salt, and yeast.
- Adding wet ingredients
Make a well in the center, then add lukewarm milk, eggs, and melted butter.
- Mixing
Mix until it forms a rough dough.
- Kneading
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- First rise
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise for about an hour until doubled in size.
- Preparing the filling
In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, raspberry jam, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth.
- Assembling the buns
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle, about 30 x 40 cm.
- Spreading filling
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly, leaving edges free.
- Rolling and slicing
Roll the dough tightly from one long edge and slice into 12 pieces.
- Second rise
Place the rolls into a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Baking the buns
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Mix icing sugar with rose water and a splash of milk for consistency. Drizzle icing over warm buns and sprinkle with dried rose petals or chopped pistachios.
