Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, packet of yeast and a teaspoon of sugar and let sit and foam for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a hook attachment, add flour, sugar, salt, 2 egg 1yolks, vanilla extract, and the activated yeast mixture and let knead for at least 10 minutes until the dough comes away from the bowl and forms a sort of ball.

Step 3

Start adding the softened butter slowly until all is incorporated and knead for an additional 12-15 minutes until the dough forms a smooth ball and does not stick to the sides of the bowl. When touching with your finger, the dough should not stick at all. The dough will be tacky and a lot smoother/silkier than a regular dough.

Step 4

Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover and let rise for at least an hour.

Step 5

In a small sauce pan, add the egg yolks, sugar, and lemon juice and raspberries mix using a whisk until completely combined.

Step 6

Place the sauce pan on low heat and while whisking, add in the lemon juice and continue whisking until the egg yolks and raspberry thicken. This could take anywhere from 10-15 minutes.

Step 7

When it has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, remove it from the heat and whisk in the a pinch of salt.

Step 8

Strain the raspberries sauce to remove any large bits of raspberries , then transfer to a glass container and cover with saran wrap, making sure the saran wrap touches the surface of the raspberries sauce.

Step 9

Let cool completely before using.

Step 10

In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, egg yolk,powdered sugar, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt and mix until completely smooth.

Step 11

Prepare a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 12

Once dough has risen, remove from bowl and divide into 7 equal pieces using a kitchen scale. Roll each piece into a ball, then using your fingers press into the center of each ball, forming a center indent, which creates a soft of disc that has a hole where we will fill them with the sweet cream cheese.

Step 13

Once all have been formed, transfer them to a baking sheet, cover with saran wrap and let rise for 30-45 minutes. Try to make sure there is enough space between them so that they aren't touching when rising.

Step 14

Preheat oven to 350°

Step 15

After 30-45 minutes, the buns should now be doubled in side. Take a cup or a small bowl (make sure it's floured so it doesn't stick) and create an even larger indent in the center (I used a ¼ cup initially, but found that a ⅓ cup was better).

Step 16

Add the sweet cream cheese to the each bun.

Step 17

(optional) brush the sides of each bun with egg wash. This will create a deeper color. Otherwise, it's not

Step 18

Bake for 20-25 minutes until the buns become golden brown and the cream cheese starts to form a bit of a color on top.

Step 19

Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 5 minutes, then top with raspberry sauce and powdered sugar.

Step 20

These Sweet Brioche Buns are delicious warm, but taste great at room temperature as well.

Step 21

Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
