Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a stand mixer, combine strong white bread flour, caster sugar, fine sea salt, and fast-action dried yeast. Gradually add whole milk and large eggs, mixing on low until a dough starts to form. Increase speed and knead for 10-15 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Transfer the kneaded dough into a greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Place in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.
  3. Dust your work surface with flour, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick. Spread cream cheese and raspberry jam over the surface. Roll tightly and slice into 12 equal pieces.
  4. Arrange the sliced buns in a greased baking tin, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  5. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Prepare the glaze by mixing icing sugar, lemon juice, and rose water. Brush over warm buns and garnish with rose petals and pistachios.
