Instructions

  1. Prepare the blueberry filling by simmering blueberries, brown sugar, lemon juice, water, and cornstarch until thickened. Allow to cool.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water with dark brown sugar and instant yeast until bubbly.
  3. Mix flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt; add melted butter, milk, egg, tangzhong (if using), and vanilla extract. Combine to form dough.
  4. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Let rise in a greased bowl until doubled in size (about an hour).
  5. Roll out the dough into a rectangle; spread softened butter and cooled blueberry filling evenly. Roll tightly and slice into portions.
  6. Arrange in a greased baking dish and let rise again until puffed up (30-45 minutes). Preheat oven during this time.
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Create the frosting by mixing softened butter and cream cheese; gradually incorporate powdered sugar and heavy cream.
