The Korean cream cheese bread<\/strong> was a symphony of flavors that left us craving more bite after bite. The perfect balance of savory, creamy, and crispy, I am never turning back to a simple garlic bread recipe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to flavors, my husband likes them on one side of the scale. A dish has to be either savory or sweet. Give him anything that mingles both, and he\u2019d never reach for a second helping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, imagine my surprise when he just <\/em>couldn\u2019t stop eating these Korean cream cheese buns that are a harmonious medley of sweet and salty! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s the magic of these buttery, cheesy garlic buns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The warmth of the bread, the savory notes of garlic, and the luxurious tangy creaminess of the cheese \u2013 all lovingly coated in a tantalizingly crispy, buttery crust\u2014make them addictive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT IS KOREAN CREAM CHEESE GARLIC BREAD?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Korean garlic cheese bread is a popular dish from the bustling streets of Seoul. Called keurimchijeu maneul ppang <\/em>in Korean, it translates into cream cheese garlic bread. It\u2019s also known as yukjjok maneul ppang<\/em> or six-sided garlic bread because you make 6 cuts into the bun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sensational creation very different from regular garlic bread,<\/strong> Korean-style garlic bread is typically made with pillowy soft buns or dinner rolls. It has a slightly sweet, luscious cream cheese filling, and almost custard-like garlic butter in which the bread is literally dunked whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Said to have originated as street food in Gangwon Province, the garlic cream cheese bread is an enigma<\/strong> - savory but with a hint of sweetness<\/strong> and crunchy with the softest core<\/strong> so you experience a taste sensation like never before!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW TO MAKE KOREAN CREAM CHEESE GARLIC BREAD<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Mix softened cream cheese with caster sugar till it\u2019s lump-free and thoroughly combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cream<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Transfer the cream cheese filling into a piping bag (or a Ziploc bag) and keep it aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Melt your butter, then add milk, eggs, a little bit of sugar, minced garlic, and parsley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Garlic<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Take your bun or bread roll and cut 6 to 8 wedges into it. Make sure your knife doesn\u2019t go all the way through<\/strong>, but nearly to the base. I like to slice the bread in half first, then into quarters, and then further. It helps make even wedges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5:<\/strong> Snip off the corner of the piping bag or Ziploc, and then fill the crevasses between the segments of the bun with the cream cheese mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cream<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 6:<\/strong> Repeat for all Korean cream cheese buns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 7:<\/strong> Dunk the entire bun into the custardy garlic butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 8<\/strong>: Let the excess butter drip off and then place the Korean cream cheese garlic bun on your parchment paper- or Silpat-lined tray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Rolls<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 9<\/strong>: Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the top is gloriously golden and the bun is crowned with a crispy crust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final step:<\/strong> Cool for a couple of minutes, and then serve the Korean cream cheese bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SERVING CREAM CHEESE GARLIC BREAD<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Korean stuffed garlic bread is a fantastic snack<\/strong>. The contrast of the velvety cream cheese filling with the crunchy crust is pure culinary bliss.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, while each garlic bun is delicious all on its own, it goes well with a soup or salad<\/strong> too. And that\u2019s how we devoured them at my house!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
