Ingredients:
For the Yeast Dough:
- 400g All-Purpose Flour
- 180g Lukewarm Milk
- 25g Fresh Yeast
- 2 Egg Yolks
- 80g Granulated Sugar
- 80g Softened Butter
- 1 Tbsp Vanilla Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Salt
For the Filling:
- 250g Blueberries
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Cornstarch
For the Homemade Custard:
- 300ml Milk
- 1 Egg
- 2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Sugar
- 40g All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Tbsp Butter
For the Crumble Topping:
- 2 Tbsp Butter
- 2 Tbsp Powdered Sugar
- 4 Tbsp All-Purpose Flour
Instructions:
- Prepare the Yeast Dough:
- Dissolve the yeast in warm milk with a tablespoon of sugar. Add a few tablespoons of flour, mix slightly, and let it sit to activate for about 15 minutes.
- Sift the remaining flour into a mixing bowl, add the yeast mixture, egg yolks beaten with sugar, the rest of the milk, and salt. Knead until smooth.
- Gradually incorporate the softened butter and knead until the dough is elastic and smooth. Cover and let rise until doubled in size.
- Make the Custard:
- Whisk the egg with sugar until fluffy. Mix in the flour.
- Heat the milk with vanilla sugar until just boiling, then gradually add to the egg mixture while whisking constantly.
- Return the mixture to the heat and cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, stir in butter, and cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Cool completely.
- Assemble the Rolls:
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large square. Spread the cooled custard over the dough, then sprinkle evenly with blueberries mixed with cinnamon and cornstarch.
- Roll up the dough tightly and cut into 12 equal pieces. Place the rolls on a lined baking tray, cover, and let rise for 20-30 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the crumble topping made by mixing butter, powdered sugar, and flour until crumbly.
- Bake:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
