Cream Cheese & Cranberries Buns

One of the ever popular buns, one of my favorite buns too, can be found in many bakeries nowadays
Seeing some postings about these buns made me wanting to give this a try too

Not satisfied with the overall look, you'll know what I mean if you know how those sold in bakeries look like
It should be flatter and more pale in color
But tastewise, it's really close, yum.... :)

Recipe for the bread is from HERE

No eggwash before baking and brushing with butter after baking

Recipe for the filling is from Sonia's site

What you need:

160g cream cheese

40g sugar

enough dried cranberries, soaked in water for 30minutes

Beat cream cheese and sugar til creamy and light

To shape the buns:

1. Weigh dough to 75g each, shape like balls, and rest for 10minutes
2. Flatten the dough, spread 1 heaped tbsp of cream cheese
3. Sprinkle dried cranberries on top of cheese , seal the dough, place on the baking tray, press gently to lightly flatten the dough, rest for 40mins
4. No egg wash, bake in preheated oven of 160degC for approximately 20 - 25 minutes at the lower rack

I'll definitely give this a try again til I get the shape it's supposed to be, or at least close to it :)
