Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, eggs, instant yeast, and granulated sugar. Whisk gently and let sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add sifted flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix and knead for 3-4 minutes, then incorporate butter and knead for another 4-5 minutes until smooth.
  3. Shape dough into a ball, place in greased bowl, cover with towel, and let rise in warm place for about 90 minutes.
  4. Gently punch down the risen dough, divide into 9 equal portions, and shape into balls. Rest for 20 minutes.
  5. Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a mixing bowl until smooth. Fill each dough ball indentation with cheesecake mixture, topping with blueberries.
  6. Combine melted butter, flour, sugar, and cinnamon to form streusel. Sprinkle over filled buns.
