Ingredients

For The Bread Dough

• 500 g bread flour 
• 2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp yeast
• ¼ cup sugar 
• ¼ cup butter 
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg

For Cream Cheese Filling

• 1 ½ cup cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup white sugar 
• ¼ cup evaporated milk

For Garlic Butter Sauce

• 1 cup butter, melted
• 3 tbsp condensed milk 
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp garlic, chopped
• 2 tsp dried parsley flakes

How To Make The Buns

• Take a mixing bowl and add warm milk, yeast, and about a teaspoon of sugar. Let it rest for 5 minutes until the yeast dissolves, and you get a thick mixture. Add remaining sugar, egg, salt, and oil and stir the ingredients with a wooden spoon. 
• Now add the flour and salt mixture, one cup at a time, and keep stirring. Knead the dough. You can use dry flour if the dough is sticking. Keep kneading until you get a smooth and stretchy dough. 
• Make a ball of the dough and place it into a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for 1 ½ hour. 
• When the dough has almost doubled its size, gently punch it down at the center.
• Roll the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. You may also use a weighing scale to divide it equally.
• Make a smooth ball of each portion and arrange the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Leave 2-3 inches of space between each ball. 
• Cover these balls loosely with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel for 30 minutes again. 
• Bake at 350 °F for 20-25 minutes, depending on the temperature of your oven. Take them out of the oven when a golden layer appears on the top. 
• Let the buns cool completely. When cool, slice the buns, but not all the way. Cut in three intersecting lines to form wedges. Now buns are ready for the filling. 

How To Make The Cream Cheese Filling

• Take a mixing bowl and beat the cream cheese for 2 minutes in it.  
• Now add the sugar and evaporated milk and beat until you get a creamy and smooth filling. 
• Transfer the cream cheese to a piping bag. Pipe the cream into the slits of the buns that you cut. 

How To Make The Garlic Butter Sauce

• Take a large bowl and pour melted butter, chopped garlic, condensed milk, egg, and dried parsley flakes in it. Mix everything well with a whisk. 
• Dip each filled garlic bread and coat it fully. Place the buns back on the baking tray and brush the remaining sauce.
• Bake at 350 °F for 5 to 10 minutes. 
• Your Korean Cream Cheese Bread is ready. Serve hot!
