Making these buns is easy and fun. First, you shape the dough into buns and  let them rise until they are light and airy.

The result is a warm, fragrant bun with a deliciously sweet and creamy center. These Blueberry Cream Cheese Buns are perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert. They pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea, making them a great choice for a cozy morning or a special afternoon treat. 
How to make the blueberry cream cheese buns
To create a batch of delightful cream cheese and blueberry buns, start by preparing the dough. In a large bowl, combine yeast with 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1/4 cup of lukewarm milk. Let this mixture rest for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.
Next, add the remaining ingredients to the bowl: flour, sugar, salt, the rest of the milk, an egg, vanilla extract, and softened butter. Knead the mixture for about 5 to 7 minutes until the dough is smooth and slightly pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rest in a warm space for about 1 hour until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a bun and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cover the buns with a kitchen towel and let them rest for another 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Prepare the cream cheese filling, by whisking together cream cheese, powdered sugar, an egg, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth. Transfer this mixture to a piping bag fitted with a plain tip.
How to shape the final buns
To shape the buns, press each one with a glass dipped in flour to create a well in the center. Fill the wells with the cream cheese mixture and top each bun with fresh blueberries. Brush the edges of the buns with beaten egg.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until they are nicely golden. Once baked, transfer the buns to a wire rack to cool slightly. For the finishing touch, dust the buns with powdered sugar before serving.
