Cream Cheese Buns

Combine the warm milk, yeast, 1 tsp of sugar, and 2 tbsp of flour. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.

Add the egg, remaining sugar, salt, softened butter, and gradually mix in the flour. Knead into a soft dough.

Cover the dough and let rise for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.

For the filling, mix together the cream cheese, quark, powdered sugar, vanilla, and starch until smooth.

Divide the dough into 12 balls of about 85g each. Place on a baking sheet and let proof for another 20-30 minutes.

Use the bottom of a glass to press an indentation into the center of each bun and fill with the cream cheese mixture. Add berries if desired.

Brush the edges of the buns with an egg wash made from egg yolk and milk.
