Pinch of salt
480 g all-purpose flour, sifted

How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Brioche Buns Step-by-Step

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine warm milk, eggs, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes until bubbles form.
Step 2: Add sifted flour to the bowl and mix until the dough comes together, kneading for about 3–4 minutes.
Step 3: Add softened unsalted butter to the dough and knead an additional 4–5 minutes until fully incorporated and dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 4: Shape the dough into a tight ball, transfer to a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm location for 90 minutes.
Step 5: While the dough rises, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until incorporated. Set aside.
Step 6: Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 7: On a floured work surface, divide risen dough into 9 even portions for large buns. Roll each into a ball and arrange on the prepared tray, spacing 5–8 cm apart.
Step 8: Cover dough balls with a towel and let rest for 20 minutes at room temperature.
Step 9: Dust the bottom of a 60 ml (1/4 cup) measuring cup with flour and press gently into the center of each bun to form an indentation.
Step 10: Divide cheesecake filling equally among all buns, placing it into each indentation. Top with blueberries, distributing evenly.
Step 11: In a bowl, mix melted butter, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon until crumbly.
Step 12: Brush exposed dough with egg wash, avoiding the filling. Sprinkle streusel over the brioche surface.
Step 13: Preheat oven to 175°C. Bake buns for 20–23 minutes until the surface is light golden brown.
Step 14: Remove buns from oven and let cool on the tray for 10 minutes. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze before serving.
