  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
  • 3 ¼ cups (406 g) all-purpose flour

  • 2 cups (296 g) fresh blueberries (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • ⅔ cup (83 g) confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk (or more as needed for desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, water, sugar, melted butter, and yeast. Let it foam for about 5 minutes. Mix flour and salt in another bowl, then combine with the wet ingredients. Knead until smooth.
  2. Let the dough rise: Place in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
  3. Make the blueberry filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, cold water, lemon juice, and salt. Cook until thickened; fold in remaining blueberries.
  4. Assemble: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the dough into a rectangle; spread blueberry filling evenly over it. Cut into pieces and layer in a greased baking dish. Pour melted butter mixture over the top.
  5. Bake: Bake for approximately 40 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly before drizzling with cream cheese glaze.
