Ingredients

• 350 grams all-purpose flour
• 7 grams instant yeast
• 200 milliliters skim milk
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 30 grams unsalted butter
• 1 whole egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 200 grams fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• 0 cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Warm up the skim milk to lukewarm temperature and pour it into a mixing bowl. Add the instant yeast and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, stirring gently. Let it rest for about 10 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or the microwave, then let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Once the yeast is activated, add the cooled melted butter, the remaining granulated sugar, the egg, and the vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together.

Step 6

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 7

Place the dough in a bowl lightly coated with cooking spray, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 8

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the blueberries with cornstarch. Toss gently to coat the blueberries evenly.

Step 9

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.

Step 10

Flatten each ball into a disc and place a tablespoon of blueberries in the center of each disc. Carefully fold the edges over to enclose the blueberries, pinching edges together to seal well.

Step 11

Place the filled buns seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a towel and let them rise for about 20 minutes.

Step 12

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 13

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown.

Step 14

Let the buns cool slightly on a wire rack and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
