Ingredients

• 400 g Whole wheat flour
• 8 g Instant yeast
• 1 tsp Salt
• 250 ml Warm milk
• 50 g Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 300 g Fresh blueberries
• 3 tbsp Erythritol or another sugar substitute
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 1 tbsp Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt.

Step 2

Warm the milk in a small saucepan until lukewarm and melt the unsalted butter in it. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Add the warm milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until incorporated.

Step 4

Beat the egg and mix it into the dough along with the vanilla extract. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 6

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by combining fresh blueberries, erythritol, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir regularly until the blueberries release their juices and the mixture thickens. Set aside to cool.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to remove air bubbles and divide it into 12 equal pieces.

Step 9

Flatten each piece of dough into a circle and place a spoonful of the blueberry filling in the center. Seal the edges tightly to enclose the filling.

Step 10

Place the buns seam side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each bun.

Step 11

In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk with water and brush this wash over the buns.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
