Exciting Story:

 

When I first made these Italian Cream Blueberry Jam Buns, it was on a lazy Sunday morning. My family loves pastries, and I wanted to try something new, something that would make breakfast feel a little more special. The idea of combining Italian cream with blueberry jam came to me, and I knew it was a match made in heaven. As soon as the buns came out of the oven, golden and fragrant, I could barely wait to taste them. My husband and kids were instantly hooked – the rich creaminess of the filling with the sweet tartness of the jam was just perfect. Now, these buns are a family favorite, and they always bring back the memory of that cozy Sunday morning.

Why These Italian Cream Blueberry Jam Buns Are a Must-Make:

  • Creamy and Fruity: The perfect balance of rich Italian cream and sweet-tart blueberry jam.
  • Soft and Fluffy: These buns are pillowy soft, making them a pleasure to eat.
  • Versatile: Great for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet snack any time of the day.

How to Make Italian Cream Blueberry Jam Buns:

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy. Add the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract, stirring to combine. Gradually mix in the flour and salt, forming a soft dough. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Let It Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
  3. Make the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. Assemble the Buns: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Spread the mascarpone mixture evenly over the dough, then spoon the blueberry jam over the top. Roll up the dough tightly from one long side to the other, then cut into 12 equal slices.
  5. Bake: Place the buns in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each one. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the buns have risen, brush the tops with heavy cream and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. Top and Serve: While the buns are baking, whisk together the remaining heavy cream and powdered sugar to make a light glaze. Once the buns are out of the oven, drizzle the glaze over the top. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh blueberries. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy and fruity flavors!

Tips:

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your milk and butter are at room temperature to help the dough rise properly.
  • Rolling the Dough: Roll the dough tightly to ensure the filling stays inside and doesn’t leak out during baking.
  • Storage: These buns are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Substitutions and Variations:

  • Different Jams: Try using raspberry or strawberry jam for a different flavor profile.
  • Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free flour blend to make these buns gluten-free.
  • Cream Cheese Substitute: If you can’t find mascarpone, cream cheese works well as a substitute.

Make a Healthier Version:

  • Lower Sugar: Reduce the amount of sugar in the filling and dough.
  • Whole Wheat: Use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour for added fiber.
  • Low-Fat Cream: Substitute heavy cream with a low-fat version to reduce the calorie content.
