Korean Cream Cheese Garlic Buns

Step 1

Pre-heat your oven to 350F (conventional) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper

Step 2

Using a sharp serrated knife, make 4 cuts in each roll that go 75% of the way down, dividing each roll into 8 equal sections that are still connected. If this feels too hard, you can do just 2 cuts, making 4 sections each

Step 3

Mix together the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk and salt until they are combined, and transfer to a piping bag. Make a small cut, and fill each roll by piping the cream cheese filling into each opening of the rolls

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, egg, milk, sweetened condensed milk, garlic, salt, parsley and paprika until combined

Step 5

Carefully dip each roll into the garlic butter mixture for 1-2 seconds per side, and place onto the lined baking sheet. Lift up any leftover garlic from the bottom of the bowl and brush onto the rolls

Step 6

Sprinkle parmesan cheese on the rolls

Step 7

Bake for ~15 minutes until the rolls are golden

Step 8

Serve while still warm, and enjoy!
