To make the soft bun
In a bowl, combine the milk and an egg. Use a whisk to mix. Add sugar, flour, salt, and instant dry yeast until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the stand mixer. Knead at low speed for 2 minutes. Add 20g of unsalted butter then knead again at medium speed for 5 minutes.
Grease a bowl with oil. Put the dough in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise for 1 to 1 ½ hour.
Transfer the dough in a lightly flour a flat surface. Divide it into 4 equal parts then shape it into balls.
Place the dough in a prepared baking pan with lined parchment paper. Let it rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat the oven at 180°C and bake it for 30 minutes.
To make the cream cheese filling
Place the cream cheese in a bowl, cream it using a spatula. Add sugar and pure cream. Then mix again until well combined. Then transfer the filling to a piping bag. Set aside.
To make the garlic butter sauce
In a bowl, combine melted unsalted butter, condensed milk, garlic, parsley, honey, and egg. Whisk until mixed well.
To assemble
Cut the bread as if making it into 6 equal slices. But do not fully cut. Let the bottom part be cut-free.
Fill each gap with the cream cheese filling.
Then, dip each bread in the garlic butter sauce. Use a spoon to put more sauce into them. Bake at 160C for 10 minutes.
