Instructions:

1. Prepare the bread dough:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
• Gradually add warm milk and mix until a dough forms.
• Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Add softened butter and continue kneading until well incorporated.
• Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

1. Prepare the custard filling:

• In a saucepan, heat milk over medium heat until it’s hot but not boiling.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth.
• Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
• Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened.
• Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and let the custard cool completely.

1. Assemble the Cream Pan:

• Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball.
• Flatten each dough ball into a circle and place a spoonful of custard filling in the center.
• Gather the edges of the dough and pinch tightly to seal, shaping it into a smooth ball.
• Place the filled dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each.

1. Proof and bake:

• Cover the filled dough balls with a clean kitchen towel and let them proof for about 30-45 minutes, or until slightly puffed.
• Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
