Desireebullar (Cream-Filled Buns) Recipe

Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Rising Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 15-20 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
Skill Level: Intermediate
Servings: 12 buns

Ingredients

For the Buns

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup milk, warmed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Cream Filling

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Decoration

• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the softened butter, egg, and milk mixture. Knead until you have a smooth dough, about 8-10 minutes.
   • Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
2. Shape the Buns:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   • Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place on the baking sheet, spacing them apart.
   • Cover and let the buns rise for another 30 minutes.
3. Bake the Buns:
   • Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
   • Let the buns cool completely on a wire rack.
4. Make the Cream Filling:
   • In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
5. Assemble the Desireebullar:
   • Slice the buns in half and pipe or spoon the vanilla cream filling inside. Place the top half back on each bun.
6. Serve:
   • Dust the filled buns with powdered sugar before serving.
