Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
3 tbsp granulated sugar, divided
3 tbsp plant-based butter, softened
1 cup unsweetened almond milk, lukewarm

Cheesecake Filling Ingredients

8 oz plant-based cream cheese
1/2 cup natural raspberry puree
1 tsp natural rose extract
1/2 tsp natural vanilla extract
1/4 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
1 tbsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

Prepare the Dough: Warm the unsweetened almond milk until lukewarm, then dissolve the active dry yeast and 1 teaspoon of the granulated sugar in it. Let it bloom until frothy, about 5-10 minutes. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, remaining sugar, and softened plant-based butter. Slowly add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Knead the mixture until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Mix the Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, whip the plant-based cream cheese with natural raspberry puree, natural rose extract, natural vanilla extract, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Incorporate the natural gelling agent thoroughly to achieve a creamy yet firm texture. Set the filling aside and chill slightly while working on the dough.
Assemble the Buns: Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and divide it into equal portions. Flatten each portion into a circle. Spoon a generous amount of the cheesecake-raspberry filling onto the center of each dough circle. Carefully fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal the bun neatly.
Final Rise and Bake: Place the filled buns on a lined baking sheet. Cover lightly and allow them to rise again until puffy, about 30 to 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the buns for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld perfectly.

Notes

Use fresh raspberries and natural rose extract for the best flavor.
Do not overfill buns to prevent leaking during baking.
Adjust sugar to balance the sweetness and tartness according to taste.
Ensure dough doubles in size during proofing to achieve soft and airy buns.
Allow buns to cool slightly before serving for optimal filling consistency.
