Polish Cream Cheese Buns - Drozdzowki

There is no longer a need to buy your cheese buns treats as this recipe is very easy to make (if you are not afraid to be working with yeast). I like to pair my buns with cheese cream and/or blueberries, but with this recipe, you can be creative!

Yeast mixture:
~ 1 7g package active dry yeast
~ 250 ml warm milk (at 105-110 F)
~ 1 tsp sugar

Dough:
~ 1/2 cup granulated sugar
~ 2 eggs, room temp.
~ 6 Tbsp butter, melted, cooled
~ 1 tsp salt
~ 1 tsp vanilla extract
~ 4 cups all-purpose flour

Cheese cream:
~ 2 oz cream cheese
~ 2 & 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar
~ 1 tsp vanilla extract
~ 1 egg yolk
~ 1 tsp orange or lemon zest

Crumble:
~ 2 Tbsp flour
~ 1 Tbsp butter (room temp)
~ 1 Tbsp granulated sugar

Egg wash: in a small bowl take 1 egg white and beat it with a fork for a min.

Yeast mixture: Dissolve dry yeast in the warm milk with sugar. Let it proof in warm room temp. for 10-20 min.

Cheese cream mixture: In a bowl combine cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, egg yolk and orange zest; mix it all until combined.

Crumble mixture: with a fork (or fingers) mix flour, butter, and granulated sugar until looks like sand. Chill in fridge.

Prepare dough:
In a mixer with a paddle attachment mix sugar with eggs until fluffy. Then add butter, salt, vanilla extract, and flour. Mix only until combined.
Pour the yeast mixture and using the dough hook, mix until well incorporated for about 8 min, or until dough no longer sticks to the bowl (mixer: level 4).
Place dough into the buttered bowl, spray dough with oil or butter so it doesn’t form a hard skin.
Cover and let it rise in a warm place about 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.

Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface (do not punch it, but just fold it); form a log/ roll.
Cut the roll into 1 & 1/2 inch slices with a serrated knife (10-12 pieces), which then each piece form into a ball.
Place the balls on the baking sheet (make sure they don’t touch each other and have room to grow) and cover them with a towel.
Let them rise again for another 30- 60 minutes or until they double in size (not longer because they grow too much).

Take each slice and create a ridge in the middle, place cheese cream and blueberry mixture on top.
Then brush the sides with egg wash. Sprinkle crumble mixture on top.

Bake at 350 F for 20-22 minutes or until light golden brown (longer time, 30 min, for larger pieces).
