Green Tea Sticky Rolls

My girl came home for her semester holiday a few weeks back and will be leaving on the end of August. This is the right timing for me to start baking & experimenting more deliciousness out of the oven. And have made this sticky buns a while ago, love them so much.

Ingredients for green tea dough :
Starter
2-1/4 tspn   instant yeast
1 tspn  sugar
2 TB water
(combine all ingredients and let to rest for 10 minutes or till bubbling)

Main Dough
1 cup  milk
125gm  butter
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
3 TB  sugar
1/2 tspn  salt
4 cups  all purpose flour (take away 2 TB)
2 TB  green tea powder

Method :  Refer here for bread making (except the shaping process).

Ingredients for cream cheese fillings :
250gm  cream cheese, at room temperature
2 TB  sugar
2 small lemon, juice & zest
2-3 TB  corn starch (depends on how big is your lemon)
(beat together all ingredients and keep refrigerated before used)

TO ASSEMBLE
(1) flatten dough by rolling it into thin sheet, I personally prefer thin layers.
(2) spread on the cream cheese mixture then place in the cranberries as well, roll it up to form a swiss roll.
(3) divide rolled dough into 12 portions and place it to a 9x13" greased tray, again let to rest for 40 minutes.
(4) finally, bake at preheated oven 190'C for about 25 minutes or till brown.
(5) cool the bread before drizzle on the chocolate garnish.

I skipped the egg glazing for the baking part and so it doesn't look as shinny. Anyway, the white chocolate topping turned them into precious gem just right.

For ganishing :
200gm  white chocolate
3 TB  heavy cream
(bring cream to boil then add in chocolate and stir till nicely melted)

I really enjoy the green tea flavour of this bun plus the super duber yummy cream cheese & cranberries. It's heavenly ! Hope you guys will love it too. Enjoy & have a great week ahead everyone.
