Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Gradually pour in the warm milk and add the large egg and softened butter. Mix until a soft dough begins to form, about 2-3 minutes.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Shape it into a ball and place it in a greased bowl.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until smooth and well combined. Chill in the refrigerator.
- Combine the blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring gently. Mix cornstarch with water to form a slurry, then stir it into the saucepan until thickened, about 2 minutes. Cool.
- After the first rise, punch down the dough. Divide into 10-12 equal pieces and shape into balls, creating a well in each center.
- Spoon the cheesecake filling into the well of each bun, followed by blueberry compote. Optional: sprinkle crumble topping before closing.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush tops with melted butter and bake for about 18-22 minutes until golden brown.
- Let cool on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
