Strawberry Cream Cheese Buns

Lately I've been trying to bake more breads and buns instead of cakes. Got bored on cakes..haha! And so bread becomes our daily food....for breakfast and tea. All kinds of buns but using the same recipe of sweet dough then I discovered a new method from my collection of bread recipe book. I don't remember when I bought this book (Magic Bread from Alex Goh) but it was well kept in my shelf with the wrapper..haha!

Okay today's bake is buns....Strawberry Cream Cheese Buns. The title itself already makes my saliva dripping..haha!

Don't they look lovely?!!

This time I've tried with different technic of the sweet dough. "Gelatinized dough"...it was first introduced by Japanese chefs and the result was soft and springy. This recipe was adapted from Magic Bread by Alex Goh.
