Buns with cheese filling

8 servings

50 minutes

Cheese buns are an exquisite example of French pastry, combining the tenderness of the dough with the rich flavor of cream cheese. Their history traces back to the traditions of French cuisine, where the mastery of dough and harmony of flavors are highly valued. During preparation, the dough undergoes a careful fermentation stage, gaining airiness and elasticity. The cream cheese filling gives the buns a delicate texture and rich milky aroma. After baking, their golden crust becomes crispy while maintaining the softness and stretchiness of the cheese inside. These buns are perfect for a morning breakfast or a cozy tea time, with a sweet hint of vanilla extract adding special elegance. They can be served warm to enjoy the gooey cheese filling or slightly cooled to reveal new flavor dimensions.
