Method:
- In a bowl mix eggs, full cream milk, garlic chopped, dried parsley, melted butter and caster sugar and set aside.
- Now in a cup add instant yeast, caster sugar, milk, and hot water, & mix well; cover & let it proof for 5 minutes & set aside.
- In the flour kneading machine, add all-purpose flour, caster sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk powder & mix well to combine.
- Add egg, butter, and yeast mixture & knead well.
- Now switch to dough hook attachment & knead until a smooth dough is formed (18-20 minutes).
- Grease dough with melted butter, cover with cling wrap & let it proof for 1 hour (warm place).
- Once the dough has doubled, punch it down and knead again to a soft dough, take a small dough (115g) and make a ball, spread evenly, tuck & roll each piece of dough into a smooth, tight ball.
- Place the buns on a baking tray lined with butter paper, cover with kitchen cloth & let it proof for 30 minutes or until double in size.
- Apply milk with the help of a brush on top of the buns & bake in preheated oven at 180 C for 22 minutes (on the lower grill).
- Take it out of the oven & let them cool for 15 minutes.
Cream Cheese filling:
- In a bowl, add cream cheese, mayonnaise, and caster sugar & whisk until well combined, then transfer to a piping bag & refrigerate until use.
- When the bread is cool enough to handle, cut each bread into 6 equal wedges (make sure to not completely cut through the bread and stay intact).
- After the bread has been cut, pipe a rope of cream cheese filling in between each wedge and dip the entire bread into the prepared garlic-butter mixture. Repeat with all the bread (makes 7) and arrange them on a baking tray lined with butter paper.
- Sprinkle breadcrumbs on each piece of bread & bake in preheated oven at 180C for 10 minutes or until golden brown (on the upper grill).
