Here is the recipe for the dough, inspired by Foodess.com, which has the best explanation for the dough, go to the website for more info. I will always use this dough to make these buns from now on.
For the dough, in a bowl, mix the dry ingredients, then in another bowl stir together eggs and milk, then add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients (using a dough hook if using a stand mixer). You can also use a bread machine (this is what I did and it works wonders). Once the dough has taken form, add the softened butter and knead for at least 10 minutes or until the dough is soft and doesn't stick to your finger (add more a spoonful of flour if sticky, more butter if dry). Set aside to rise about 1-2 hours. Once doubled in size, press down on the dough to release the air and knead about 3 minutes to flatten. Cut dough in half, roll into a ball and roll out on a flat surface to a 12" x 6" rectangle. Spread your filling on this surface then roll to get a 12" long roll, then cut into 8 slices. Place these rolls in a baking pan, cover with a clean dishtowel and leave in a warm place to rise about 2 hours or until doubled in size. (You can also add 1/2 cup of milk in the bottom of the pan for more fluffiness, but I skipped this step, not having room, and my rolls were still ultimately fluffy.)
Preheat oven to 350° F / 175° C, then bake for 30-40 minutes. Wait about 10 minutes then spread the cream frosting on top while still warm.
Best served warm and you know it ! Enjoy, everyone ;)
