Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. In a stand mixer, combine strong white bread flour, caster sugar, fine sea salt, and fast-action dried yeast. Gradually add whole milk and large eggs into the dry ingredients, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough for 10-15 minutes until it's smooth and elastic, then shape it into a ball, and place it in a greased bowl.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, then refrigerate the dough for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Rolling and Filling
  1. Once chilled, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
  2. Spread a generous layer of full-fat cream cheese followed by raspberry jam evenly over the surface.
  3. Gently roll the dough tightly into a log, ensuring even pressure, and slice it into 12 equal pieces.
Proofing and Baking
  1. Arrange the cut buns in a greased baking tin, leaving some space between them to rise.
  2. Cover the tin with a clean kitchen towel and let the buns proof in a warm area for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  3. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
Glazing
  1. While the buns are cooling slightly, prepare the glaze by melting icing sugar with lemon juice and a splash of rose water until smooth.
  2. Brush this aromatic glaze generously over the warm Raspberry and Rose Cheesecake Buns. Garnish with edible dried rose petals and chopped pistachios before serving.
