1.  In a large bowl or stand mixer add the bread flour, salt, eggs, sugar, instant yeast, warm milk and melted butter. Mix until it's all combined (some visible flour is ok).

Instructions for Bread:

2. Knead by hand on a lightly floured surface or with a dough hook using a stand mixer until the dough is no longer sticky and becomes smooth and stretchy. Check to see if it passes the window-pane test –when you stretch out a small piece of dough, it doesn’t break easily, it’s very stretchy, and light can shine through it.

Instructions for Bread:

3.  Roll the edges of the dough under and tuck then pinch the dough at the bottom to form a smooth tight ball. Place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a moist towel or plastic wrap.

Instructions for Bread:

4.  Let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place to let rise until dough is about double in size.

Instructions for Bread:

5.  Poke the dough and the indent should stay. Punch down the dough to get rid of all the air. Knead with your hands for another 3-5 minutes.

Instructions for Bread:

6.  Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll and tuck the dough under each piece to form a smooth tight ball for each one.

7.  On a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover them loosely with plastic wrap or a towel and let them rise for 30 minutes.

Instructions for Bread:

8.  In a small bowl mix the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush with the egg wash if you wish and bake at 350F for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.

Instructions for Bread:

9.  Remove from the oven and let cool.

Instructions for Bread:

1.  Add all of the ingredients to a medium-sized bowl and beat with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy.

Instructions for Cream Cheese Filling:

1.  Place all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Set aside

Instructions for Cream Garlic Butter Coating:

1. When the buns have cooled enough to handle use a serrated knife to cut each bun 3/4 of the way down into 6 equal slices. Do not cut all the way through.

Assembly:

2.  Fill a piping bag with the cream cheese filling and pipe the cream cheese evenly into the slits of each bun. Be sure to not overfill so you have enough for all the buns.

Assembly:

3.  Dip the entire bun top side down first into the garlic butter mixture. Flip the bun over and make sure to cover the entire bun including the bottom.

Assembly:

4.  Place the coated buns back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350F for another 8-10 minutes. Just enough to set the custardy coating. Keep an eye on them so they don't over-brown.

Assembly:

5.  Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before enjoying. Serve warm.

Assembly:

Enjoy!
