Ingredients

DOUGH:
– 300 g all-purpose flour
– 15 g fresh yeast
– 150 ml warm milk
– 1 egg
– 30 g sugar
– 1 vanilla sugar
– 1 pinch of salt
– 35 g soft butter

FILLING:
– 200 g cream cheese (Mascarpone, Philadelphia, ABC)
– 20 g sugar
– 1 vanilla sugar
– 1 egg yolk
– 10 g cornstarch

CRUMBLE TOPPING:
– 25 g cold butter
– 50 g all-purpose flour
– 10 g sugar

FOR BRUSHING:
– 1 egg yolk
– 1 tablespoon milk

ADDITIONAL:
– 3 tablespoons strawberry jam
– 150 g blueberries
– powdered sugar for sprinkling

Preparation

1. Activating the Yeast:
– Crumble the yeast into a cup, add 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of flour, and a bit of warm milk. Stir and let it rise.

2. Making the Dough:
– Sift the flour into a bowl, add the risen yeast, sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, and warm milk. Knead into a smooth dough. Finally, add very soft butter cut into cubes. The dough will be very soft, but don’t worry about it. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in volume.

3. Shaping the Dough:
– Knead the risen dough and divide it into 10-12 parts. Work each part a little on the surface, shape into balls, and place them on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave enough space between the balls as they will rise a lot during baking. Cover the balls and let them rise.

4. Preparing the Crumble Topping:
– Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl and use your fingers to make crumbs. Store in the fridge so the butter in the topping doesn’t soften.

5. Preparing the Filling:
– Put all the filling ingredients in a small bowl and mix into a smooth mixture.

6. Filling and Baking:
– When the balls have risen, flatten each slightly with your palm. Then, make an indentation using the bottom of a glass dipped in flour. Be careful not to pierce the dough. The edge should be as thin as possible so that the indentation can hold more filling. Fill the indentation in the dough with the cheese filling. Add a little strawberry jam on top of the filling, place a few blueberries, and sprinkle with the crumble topping.
– Mix the egg yolk with milk and brush the edges of the dough.
– Bake the pastries for 20 minutes at 180°C. Once cooled, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
