Ingredients
  • ~500 g bread flour
  • 22 g granulated sugar
  • 3 g salt
  • 5 g active yeast
  • 112 g warm water
  • 90 g warm milk
  • ~50 g softened butter
  • 400 g fresh blueberries
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 22 g lemon juice
  • 3 g cornstarch
  • 160 g heavy cream
  • 22 g sugar
  • A portion of homemade blueberry compote
  • White powder for dusting
Method
  1. 1Place fresh blueberries in a saucepan on a stove burner.
  2. 2Pour 100 g granulated sugar and 22 g lemon juice over the blueberries in the saucepan.
  3. 3Stir the blueberry mixture over heat, allowing the blueberries to break down and release juices, then add 3 g cornstarch and stir until thickened into a jam-like consistency.
  4. 4Set the blueberry compote aside to cool completely.
  5. 5Combine ~500 g bread flour, 3 g salt, 22 g granulated sugar, and 5 g active yeast in a large glass bowl and mix.
  6. 6Pour 90 g warm milk and 112 g warm water into the dry mixture and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  7. 7Transfer the dough to a countertop, knead to bring it together, then add ~50 g softened butter slices and knead until the dough is smooth, elastic, and passes the windowpane test.
  8. 8Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, shape into a ball, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size.
  9. 9After the first rise, gently degas the dough on a lightly floured surface, then divide it into 12 equal portions and shape each into a smooth round ball.
  10. 10Arrange the shaped dough balls in a 3x4 grid in a parchment-lined baking pan, cover, and let them rise again until they expand and nearly touch.
  11. 11Sprinkle white powder generously over the proofed buns, then bake until light golden-brown and fluffy, and transfer to a cooling rack.
  12. 12While buns cool, pour 160 g heavy cream into a bowl, add 22 g sugar and a portion of the cooled blueberry compote, then whip with an electric mixer until light, vibrant purple, and stiff peaks form.
  13. 13Spoon the blueberry whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with a tip, and fill the cooled buns with the cream.
