Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the flour and milk for the tangzhong. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat until thickened.
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine milk, sugar, yeast, egg, flour, salt, butter, and tangzhong. Knead on medium speed for 15-20 minutes until smooth. Allow to rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Punch down the dough, divide into 8 pieces, shape each into a ball, and let rise for 30 minutes on a baking sheet.
- Melt butter for the streusel, then mix with sugar and flour until clumpy.
- For the cheesecake filling, blend cottage cheese, whisked egg, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Press a cup into each bun to form a divot. Fill with cheesecake filling and strawberry jam, brush edges with egg wash, and sprinkle streusel on top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Serve warm and enjoy!
