Instructions

1. Put flour, sugar, yeast and salt in a large bowl or stand mixer bowl and stir. Make a well and add milk, honey, egg, vanilla extract, oil, melted butter and zest. Mix until a dough forms.
2. Knead for 7-8 minutes until smooth, soft and elastic. If the dough is too hard or dry, add 2-3 tablespoons of milk.
3. Put the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
4. Divide the dough into 80 g pieces and roll each into a ball. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking tray with space between them, cover with a clean towel and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
6. Whisk 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of milk and brush each bun with it.
7. Bake for 15 minutes until golden. Let cool completely.
8. Whip heavy cream, vanilla extract and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, then transfer to a piping bag.
9. Slice each bun across the top without cutting through the base. Fill with cream and smooth it with a spatula.
10. Dust each bun with powdered sugar.
