Pistachio Maritozzi (Cream Buns)

1. Add the warm milk into your bowl attached to a stand mixer. Add the egg, yeast, sugar and salt and stir till dissolved.
2. Add in your flour and mix on low to medium speed for 3-5 minutes before adding the butter and mix on high speed for 8 more minutes.
3. Grease a bowl and your hands and form the dough into a ball. Add it into the greased bowl and cover with plastic foil. Let it proof for 1 hour.
4. After the dough have risen, punch the dough and create 9-10 equal sized ball buns. Arrange the buns onto a baking tray with parchment paper and brush with egg wash.
5. Let the buns rise for 40-45 minutes with plastic wrap and bake at 200°C fan oven for 20-25 minutes (or until golden brown).
6. After baking let them cool down completely and fill them with pistachio cream cheese, crushed pistachios and icing sugar.

In a bowl, whip cream cheese and icing sugar for 2-3 mins in medium speed. Pour in pistachio cream and using a spatula, gently fold it in until well combined.
