Method
 

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 pour in warm whole milk and crack in the large eggs. Mix until a rough dough forms, then knead for 10-15 minutes until you achieve a smooth and elastic consistency.
  2. Transfer the kneaded dough to a greased bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a large rectangle, spread the full-fat cream cheese evenly, followed by dollops of raspberry jam, and roll into a tight log, slicing into 12 equal pieces.
  4. Arrange the sliced buns in a greased baking tin, cover and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  5. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and bake for 30-35 minutes.
  6. Prepare the glaze by mixing icing sugar, lemon juice, and rose water in a bowl until smooth, brush over warm buns and scatter with dried rose petals and pistachios.
