Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Dough: In a stand mixer, combine strong white bread flour, caster sugar, fine sea salt, and fast-action dried yeast. Gradually pour in warm whole milk and add large eggs, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Knead for 10-15 minutes until smooth and elastic. Incorporate unsalted butter and continue kneading.
  2. Chill Dough: Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  3. Roll Out and Fill: Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Spread cream cheese and raspberry jam, then roll into a log shape and cut into 12 equal pieces.
  4. Proof Buns: Arrange cut pieces in a greased baking tin, cover with a cloth, and proof in a warm spot for 45-60 minutes until puffy.
  5. Bake: Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Bake proofed buns for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Glaze and Decorate: Prepare glaze with icing sugar, lemon juice, and rose water. Apply on warm buns and sprinkle with rose petals and pistachios.

Notes

Ensure the dough chills thoroughly overnight for the best texture. Use unflavored dental floss or a sharp knife for cutting the rolls. Let buns rise in a warm area and monitor baking to avoid over or under baking.
