Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. In a stand mixer, combine strong white bread flour, caster sugar, fine sea salt, and fast-action dried yeast. Gradually add whole milk and large eggs, mixing until the dough comes together. Knead the mixture for 10-15 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
  2. Transfer the dough into a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  3. Remove the chilled dough from the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Spread cream cheese and raspberry jam evenly across the surface. Roll tightly and cut into 12 equal pieces.
  4. Place the sliced buns cut-side up in a greased baking tin, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 45-60 minutes until puffy.
  5. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Bake buns for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and hollow when tapped.
  6. Allow to cool slightly and prepare the glaze with icing sugar, lemon juice, and rose water. Brush over warm buns and top with rose petals and pistachios.
