Creamy and soft, every bite it a sheer delight!

INGREDIENTS

for the dough:
300ml milk
500g flour
50g butter
15g fresh yeast
70g sugar
5g salt

for the cream:
170g ricotta cheese
30g powdered sugar
150ml whipped cream
lemon zest

for the milk cream:
200ml milk
40g sugar
30g corn starch
a teaspoon of honey

DIRECTIONS
1. Dissolve the fresh yeast in the warm milk. Gradually add the flour, sugar and salt. Let the dough rise for 2 hours.
2. Divide the dough into 25g balls and bake them at 180°C for 15/17 minutes. Brush the tops with milk and then cover them with a tea-towel so that the steam makes them even softer.
3. In the meantime, prepare the milk cream by combining milk, sugar, honey, and cornstarch in a pan. Let it cook until it becomes a dense cream. Let it cool.
4. Mix together the milk cream and the ricotta cream (made by mixing the ricotta with sugar, lemon zest and whipped cream).
5. Make a hole in each roll and fill them with cream.
6. Dust with powdered sugar and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes before serving.
