When feeling sad or fed-up, some just sleep on it. Some watch sappy movies. Some do homework (WAIT. Seriously, who does that?!!!) Others… like me… BAKE. I bake bread. While watching ‘How I Met Your Mother’.
Today I baked Milk-coffee-buns. And I can’t fall asleep now though its 2 am.
I’m no coffee drinker and evidently very vulnerable to caffeine dose-initiated-insomnia.
I used the lovely new stand mixer I bought myself so the kneading process shrunk to 8 minutes.

Hi!
This looks really good but i want to know before making this is your milk powdered or liquid?
Can u also give me the measurement for the filling?
Thanks a lot!
Divine
Hi, Divine! The skim milk is liquid but milk powder is in powder form. There is no filling; the cream cheese is used as one of the liquids in the bread.
