Ingredients
  

  • 100 g Active, bubbly sourdough starter
  • 200 g Whole milk, warm
  • 110 g Granulated white sugar (divided for dough and filling)
  • 2 Large Eggs, room temperature
  • 450 g Unbleached bread flour
  • 8 g Fine sea salt
  • 115 g Unsalted butter (divided for dough and icing)

  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
  • 0.5 tsp Ground cardamom
  • 115 g Cream cheese, softened
  • 120 g Powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla bean paste

Method
 

  1. In a stand mixer, combine active sourdough starter, warm milk, 50g sugar, and eggs. Add bread flour and salt. Mix using a dough hook until shaggy.
  2. Gradually add 85g of softened butter, one tablespoon at a time. Knead on medium speed for 10-15 minutes until it passes the windowpane test.
  3. Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover, and let ferment at room temperature for 4-6 hours until increased by 50%.
  4. Place the covered bowl in the refrigerator overnight (8-12 hours) for the cold retard.
  5. Simmer blueberries, 60g sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cardamom in a saucepan for 10 minutes until thick. Let cool completely.
  6. Roll the cold dough out into a 12x18-inch rectangle. Spread the cooled blueberry filling evenly, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  7. Roll into a tight log and cut into 12 even slices. Place in a parchment-lined 9x13-inch baking dish.
  8. Cover and let proof in a warm spot for 3-5 hours until puffy and touching.
  9. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Beat cream cheese, remaining 30g butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread over the warm rolls and serve.
