CREAM CHEESE BREAKFAST BUNS

Steps:

• Sift flour into a large bowl, make a well in the middle and crumble the yeast into it.
• Dissolve 1 tablespoon caster sugar in lukewarm milk. Pour over yeast and mix with yeast and some of the flour. This first yeast-mixture should be still fluid. Cover and let rise in warm place for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile: Mix all other ingredients for the buns until smooth.
• Add this mixture to the yeast and flour. Mix first with a spoon.
• Then knead with floured hands until dough is peeling away from the side of the bowl and blistering. This step may take 10 minutes (or more). Use some additional flour, if dough is too sticky. At the end you should have a smooth dough. See note.
• Cover and let rise in warm place for about 30 to 40 minutes or until dough has doubled.
• Line out baking tray with parchment paper. Preheat oven (390°F, 200°C).
• After dough has doubled, knead again a few times. Roll out on a floured workspace. About 1/2 inch thick.
• Cut out circles of about 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Place the buns on baking tray. Let rise again for 15 minutes.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the top of the buns are slightly golden.
• Take out and let cool completely.
• NOTE on baker's yeast: also called cake yeast. It is the yeast sold as a solid block. You could replace it by dry yeast. If you use dry yeast, dissolve the dry yeast in lukewarm water prior adding it to the flour. Use as much dry yeast as you would need for 3 cups flour.
• NOTE on cream goat cheese: I like the taste of goat cheese here, but you could replace it by any other cream cheese of your choice.
• NOTE on dough: You could also use the dough hook of your food processor to knead the dough. But I prefer to do it by hand and I always have the feeling, that the texture of a hand kneaded dough is different.

RASPBERRY CREAM CHEESE BREAKFAST BUNS

Steps:

• Grease and lightly flour 9 large muffin cups.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and next 3 ingredients; set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, and sugar together, using an electric mixer on medium speed, for 3 minutes.
• Add in the eggs; beat well.
• Add the dry ingredients in two parts, alternating with the milk and vanilla; mix to combine after each addition.
• Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling 2/3 full.
• Drop 3 small dollops (about a teaspoonful each) of raspberry preserves onto the top of each bun.
• Using the tip of a sharp knife, swirl the preserves into the batter, forming a decorative pattern.
• Bake in a 350° oven for 25-30 minutes or until pick comes out clean.
• Allow buns to cool for about 30 minutes before sprinkling with confectioners' sugar and serving.

PINEAPPLE CREAM CHEESE BUNS

Steps:

• DOUGH.
• Soften yeast in warm water. Let stand 10 minutes.
• In a large heavy duty mixer (or large bowl, if by hand) pour scaled milk over butter. Cool to lukewarm. Stir in 4 cups of flour, sugar, mashed potatoes, salt and dissolved yeast. Mix at low speed. Add remaining flour as needed to make a soft dough, the dough should pull away from the sides of the bowl and as you mix, will be somewhat reluctant to lie back down in the bowl. The dough will be definitely sticky when you are finished mixing. Leave in mixer bowl, covered with plastic wrap overnight or about 8 hours.
• The next morning, punch dough, turn dough out onto floured board and cut dough in half. Roll each half into a rectangle.
• FILLING.
• Drain the pineapple. The more you can drain it - the better consistency for the filling.
• In a mixer whip the softened cream cheese and sugar until fluffy, blend in nutmeg and vanilla. Stir in well-drained pineapple. Do not over mix.
• Divide in half and spread over each rectangle.
• Roll up and slice into 1 1/2 inch slices and place on parchment paper covered cookie sheets. Let rise until double (about 30 minutes) Preheat oven to 375°F Bake for 15 minutes. Turn down to 350°F and bake for 10-15 more minutes. If edges are getting too dark cover with tinfoil.
• If desired, decorate with frosting of your choice and place red & green cherries in the centre of each bun.
• My family places the uncooked buns onto parchment paper in the shape of a Christmas tree (1 bun at top, next layer 2 buns, repeat until the last layer is 4 buns across and then place 2 buns down for the tree stump).
• Very delicious, very easy and if baked and frosted as a Christmas tree, very festive!

• ** I ended up using 1 1/2 tubes of the Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits (1 tube didn't seem like enough) and baked it for about 30 minutes. It needed a bit longer to bake since I used more.
