I love trying out new bread recipe using my sourdough starter. A natural yeast that is cultivated by flour and water.
Cream bun, a lightly sweetened yeast dough fills with whipped cream and dusted in powdered sugar. What about sourdough bun? Oh yes!!! Sourdough buns give the bread a slight crust on the outside and little chewiness from the inside. The combination of these two make a perfect and delicious sourdough cream buns!!!!
I finally got my second batch of active starter since my last one scarified. So today I’m making Cat Shaped Sourdough Chocolate Cream Buns after watching some cat cartoon with my son! These mini cat buns will catch the eyes of your little audience. Not to say they taste wonderfully delicious.

There is no need to add any yeast to this recipe. These sourdough chocolate cream buns are incredibly simple. Similar to the yeast dough, it required 2 rise for this recipe. If you have an active starter in hand, you can try this sourdough chocolate cream buns.

It should form into a dough ball. – Add butter and beat for another 5 minutes until dough is smooth, shiny and elastic. – Perform a windowpane test. If the dough stretches without breaking into a thin surface that you can see through, it is good to go. ![]() – Transfer the dough into a greased bowls and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rest until doubled in size. Around 4 hours under my scenario, it vary according to your room temperature. – Place the dough on a lightly flour surface, press down the bubbles and divide the dough into 6 portions. Shape into 6 balls and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rest for another 4 hours on the counter top or if overnight in the refrigerator. ![]() – Preheat oven to 180C, rest the dough at room temperature for 30 minutes before bake. ![]() – Bake in the oven for 15- 18 minutes. Transfer to cooling rack to cool down completely. ![]() – Make the cream for the meantime, beat heavy cream and sugar in a mixer until stiff peaks. Transfer cream to a piping bag. Place it in the refrigerator until ready to use. ![]() – Slice down each bun from the top down the centre. Pipe in whipped cream. Use a scraper to scrap down the cream and wipe off excess cream. Transfer the remaining cream to a new piping bag with a smaller piping tip and draw cat face on the bun as per below picture. Slice strawberry in triangle and invert it into the cream to make the ear. Enjoy on the same day! ![]() |
