Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2 green onions (chopped)
- Optional: sesame seeds for topping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add warm milk and melted butter until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled (about 1 hour).
- While the dough rises, combine cream cheese, minced garlic, and chopped green onions in a bowl to create the filling.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal portions. Flatten each piece, add filling in the center, and seal tightly.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place buns on a parchment-lined baking tray, brush with melted butter, sprinkle sesame seeds if desired, and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
