Prepare the tangzhong by mixing water, milk, and bread flour in a saucepan and stirring until it forms a paste, then cool it down with half a cup of milk.
Crack an egg into a separate bowl to avoid shell pieces, then mix it with the tangzhong.
Combine the dry ingredients: bread flour and dry milk, then add the instant yeast without proofing.
Mix the dry and wet ingredients until no dry flour remains and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
After resting, add 1 teaspoon of salt and 8 tablespoons of sugar, then knead the dough for 20-25 minutes until smooth.
Add butter gradually, two tablespoons at a time, while kneading until fully incorporated.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rest for 60 minutes until doubled in size.
Divide the dough into two, then shape it into a rectangle and fold it like a business letter.
Weigh and divide the dough into small pieces of about 30 grams each.
Shape the dough into balls or the classic ensaymada shape with a knob on top, then place in molds.
Cover and let proof for 60-90 minutes.
Prepare an egg wash by mixing 2 tablespoons of water with 1 beaten egg and brush it over the dough.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
Cool on a rack, then prepare buttercream frosting by creaming together butter, sugar, heavy cream, and condensed milk.
Top the cooled ensaymada with buttercream frosting and sprinkle with edam cheese.
