🥣 Ingredients

Dough:

  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • ¾ cup warm milk (110°F / 45°C)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (plus more for kneading)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Purple gel food coloring (or a mix of red + blue)

Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Galaxy Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk (as needed)
  • Purple, blue, and black gel food coloring
  • Edible glitter or stars (optional but highly recommended)

🛠️ Method & Instructions

🔮 1. Activate the Yeast

In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This shows your yeast is alive and ready to lift your buns to the stars.

🌌 2. Make the Dough

Add egg, vanilla, softened butter, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms. Add purple food coloring to reach your desired cosmic hue.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

💜 3. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Chill in the fridge while the dough rises.

🌠 4. Shape the Bombs

Punch down the risen dough. Divide it into 10–12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a circle, spoon a small amount of filling into the center, and pinch the edges closed to seal tightly. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment.

Let them rise again for 20–30 minutes.

🔥 5. Bake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the buns for 15–18 minutes, or until lightly golden on top and fully puffed. Cool slightly.

🌌 6. Glaze Like a Galaxy

In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Separate into three bowls and color them purple, blue, and black. Swirl them lightly together and dip the tops of each bun into the glaze. Add edible glitter or star sprinkles while the glaze is still wet.

📜 History & Formation
