Ingredients
200 ml milk (lukewarm)
30 g white caster sugar
8 g vanilla sugar
7 g instant yeast
1 egg
50 ml sunflower oil
25 g butter (melted)
450 g flour
4 g salt
1 egg (for egg wash)
38 g vanilla pudding (prepared according to package instructions)
250 g mascarpone
8 g vanilla sugar
50 g powdered sugar
250 ml heavy cream
250 ml vanilla pudding (reserved from extra portion)
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Fruit of your choice (e.g., berries, kiwi, mango)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, combine lukewarm milk, white caster sugar, vanilla sugar, and instant yeast. Stir well and let rest for 5 minutes. Add sunflower oil, whisked egg, and melted butter. Mix well, then add flour and salt. Knead for 10-12 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Prepare the Pudding: Prepare 38 g of vanilla pudding according to the package instructions and set aside. Use half of it for the filling.
- Make the Cream Filling: In a bowl, combine mascarpone, vanilla sugar, and powdered sugar. Mix for 1 minute until smooth. Gradually add heavy cream and whisk until firm. Gently fold in the reserved vanilla pudding. Refrigerate the mixture.
- Shape the Dough: Once the dough has risen, deflate and divide into 10 equal pieces (about 60 grams each). Shape each piece into a ball, then roll into a flat circle on a floured surface.
- Assemble the Rolls: Roll each dough circle into a log shape and press the ends tightly closed. Flatten gently with a rolling pin. Place the logs on a parchment-lined baking tray. Pipe a thin layer of vanilla pudding over each log. Brush the sides with egg wash and let rise for 30 minutes until doubled in size.
- Bake the Bread: Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-browning.
- Add the Cream and Fruit: Once cooled, slice each roll horizontally. Pipe the cream mixture onto the bottom half of each roll and place the top back on. Spread a thin layer of honey or vanilla pudding on top to help the fruit stick. Arrange your choice of fresh fruit on top and dust with powdered sugar.
- Serve: Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready. Best enjoyed fresh but can be made a day ahead (decorate just before serving).
