Vanilla Cream Filled Sweet Buns

- 500ml / 2 cups milk
- 250g / 8.8oz softened butter
- 150g / 1 cup granulated sugar for the sugar glaze, plus 1 egg and 15g / 1 tablespoon melted butter for the glaze
- 250g / 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 50g active dry yeast
- 2 large eggs, one for the dough and one for the glaze
- 6g / 0.21oz / 1/2 teaspoon salt
1. Combine 250g (2 3/4 cups US) of flour and 5g (1 teaspoon US) of salt in a large mixing bowl.
2. Whisk together 120ml (1/2 cup US) of milk and 7g (1/4 ounce US) of yeast in a separate bowl, letting it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
3. Add 1 egg and 55g (2 tablespoons or 1/4 stick US) of softened butter to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, kneading until a smooth dough forms.
5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
