Cranberry Cream Cheese Buns & Parmesan Cheddar Cheese Buns 蔓越莓奶油芝士面包和帕玛森切达芝士面包

As usual, I baked some breads for my family. They can eat it for breakfast or afternoon tea. Since my last baked was Rotiboy and Garlic Buns, so, I baked a different flavour buns this time.

I just love the combined flavours of parmesan and cheddar cheeses. They go so well together that I’ve decided to make buns stuffed with cheddar cheese and topped with parmesan cheese. 😘

My kids love the cranberry cream cheese buns which are fluffy, lightly savoury and most importantly, soft! This is because I used water roux method to make this bun. The cream cheese paired with sweet and sour cranberries, extremely tasty.😉
