Cranberry Cream Cheese Flat Bun / Bread

I first tried cranberry cream cheese flat bun when my in-laws bought it home. She told us 'very nice, try it!'. I wasn't half convinced because it looks plain, flatten, and nothing in its appearance that attracts me to it. However, one bite and I am in love with it. The bun was very soft, and the cream cheese inside was simply addicting.

I searched around for the recipe of this bun and it seems to be quite an easy bun to make. The challenging part is probably to make that 'flatten' shape. My first trial was good, but it turned out to be a raised bun, even though I had flatten it during shaping. This time, I placed another baking sheet on top of the bun in the oven, so as to restrict the rising 'upward' to create that flat appearance. Now I am really satisfied with it!
