Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a stand mixer, combine strong white bread flour, caster sugar, fine sea salt, and fast-action dried yeast. Gradually pour in whole milk and crack two large eggs, mixing on low speed until combined. Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Transfer the kneaded dough to a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
  3. Dust your countertop with flour, roll the dough into a rectangle, spread the cream cheese and raspberry jam, then roll tightly into a log and slice into 12 pieces.
  4. Grease a baking tin, place the sliced buns inside, cover, and let them rise for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  5. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Bake the buns for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and hollow when tapped.
  6. Prepare the glaze by whisking icing sugar, lemon juice, and rose water until smooth. Brush over the buns and sprinkle with rose petals and pistachios.
