For The Bread

  • 1. Mix together flour, sugar, yeast, milk powder, salt and baking powder in a bowl.
  • 2. Add warm water, and vegetable oil in a bowl and add it to the flour.
  • 3. Mix it to form a soft dough.
  • 4. Transfer dough to counter and knead for 10 minutes until soft and elastic.
  • 5. Oil a bowl, place the dough inside, apply a coat of oil on the dough and cover with cling wrap.
  • 6. Allow it to rise for 1 hour or until double the size.
  • 7. Take it back to the counter, degas it and roll it into a log.
  • 8. Divide it into 19 equal portions.
  • 9. Roll each portion into a ball.
  • 10. Flatten each ball, place a tsp of cream cheese and close the ball carefully.
  • 11. Roll it on the counter to get a smooth ball.
  • 12. Arrange the balls in a greased 8" round tin like a bee hive.
  • 13. Coat the top of the balls with milk and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

  • 15. Preheat oven to 180C.
  • 16. Bake the buns for 25-30 minutes until nicely brown in colour.

For The Syrup

  • 1. Mix together sugar, water and honey in a sauce pan.
  • 2. Bring it to boil. When the sugar dissolves completely, switch flame to medium and allow it to boil for 1-2 minutes.
  • 3. Switch off the stove and allow it to cool. Do this while the buns are proofing.

Soaking The Buns

  • 1. Once the buns are out of oven, pour the syrup on the buns.
  • 2. The syrup will find way in the nook and corner and will gradually be absorbed by the bread.
  • 3. When all the syrup is poured, cover the tin with an aluminium foil and allow it to cool completely.
  • 4. Gently remove the bread from the tin to a serving plate.
  • 5. Serve and enjoy!!!
