For the Bread
1

In a bowl pour in the warm milk, and sugar and mix. Add in the active dry yeast and let sit for about 10 minutes or until the yeast is activated.

2

In another bowl, whisk together butter and eggs and then pour the liquid yeast mixture in the bowl and continue whisking with an electric mixer.

3

In another bowl, sift the bread flour and salt and then gradually add in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients continuously mixing until you create a sticky ball of a dough into the bowl.

4

Drop the sticky dough on a floured surface and knead for about 8 – 10 minutes. Place the dough ball back in a bowl and cover with a damp cloth and let rise for about an hour.

5

After one hour, take the risen dough into a floured surface and cut the dough into about smaller balls (about a tennis ball size each. Each should be around 50grams)

6

Take one ball, flatten with your fingers and place one small cube of butter in the middle and roll it into a ball again. Repeat the process until you finish all the buns. Line up on a tray and cover again with a damp cloth for about 45 minutes. While waiting you can make the barako cream topping.
