Sexy blueberry buns

I made blueberry buns improvising Jamie Oliver's sexy Swedish bun recipe. These are really, really, really good. Have one each night with a glass of cold milk and you will stay happy.!


Ingredients: A) For the dough - 20g of fresh yeast, 60g of butter, 500g of milk, 80g of sugar, 1 tea spoon of salt, 800g of flour, 10g of sour dough, 2 eggs, 12g of fresh cardamom. B) For the filling - 300g of frozen blueberries, 1 lemon worth of juice, and 2 lemons worth of lemon zest. C) For the oven pan - butter and brown sugar.

Steps: 1) Melt the butter over heat and mix with milk, to make a body temperature medium. 2) Break the yeast into pieces, and mix with 1), sugar, salt, 500g flour, sour dough, eggs, and crushed cardamom; then after dough becomes elastic, add the rest of the flour to make it into a dough texture and let it rest for 1 hour. 3) In a separate bowl, mix to make the filling (leave 1 lemon worth of zest). 4) Knead the dough flat and fill with majority of filling mix; fold it 3 times, then cut into 1.5-2cm strips to be rounded up into rolls. 5) On an oven pan, put some butter and brown sugar, then line up the buns and add the rest of the fillings on the rolls and sprinkle with the remaining lemon zest.  6) After letting it rise for 30-45 minutes, bake in a 180 degree oven for 20 minutes.

It is important to separate adding the flours to make an elastic dough. Once you bake these, freeze them in a plastic bag at night, so that you can enjoy a warm microwaved one everyday for the next few weeks.
