Description
A luxurious bakery-style yeast bun filled with vanilla custard, cream cheese, and fresh blueberries, topped with a buttery crumble.
Ingredients
4 cups bread flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 packet (2.25 tsp) active dry yeast
1 cup warm milk (110°F)
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup vanilla custard (homemade or store-bought)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for crumble)
1/4 cup cold butter (for crumble)
1/4 cup brown sugar (for crumble)
Instructions
Step 1: In a small bowl, dissolve 1 tablespoon of sugar in the warm milk and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for 10 minutes until foamy.
Step 2: In a stand mixer, combine the flour, remaining sugar, yeast mixture, and eggs. Knead on low speed while gradually adding the softened butter until a smooth dough forms.
Step 3: Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm area for about 1.5 to 2 hours until doubled in size.
Step 4: Prepare the cream cheese filling by beating the softened cream cheese with a little sugar and vanilla until smooth.
Step 5: Divide the dough into 12 balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use the bottom of a glass to press a deep well into the center of each ball.
Step 6: Spoon a tablespoon of cream cheese filling into the well, followed by a tablespoon of custard and a few blueberries.
Step 7: Sprinkle the prepared crumble over the top and bake at 350°F for 22-25 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
Notes
Ensure the custard is fully chilled before filling the buns to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
