Ingredients
Scale
- For the Dough:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- For the Filling:
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup wild blueberries
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the blueberries by washing them thoroughly and placing them in a small saucepan over low heat with a tablespoon of sugar. Stir until they release their juices and let cool.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, remaining sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the cooled blueberries.
- Mix the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Create a well and add warmed milk, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until a sticky dough forms, then knead for 5-7 minutes.
- Divide the dough, roll each piece into a circle, add filling to the center, pinch edges to seal, and let rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake buns for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Let cool before serving.
