Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine warm whole milk, warm water, and granulated sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle active dry yeast over the top and let sit for 10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Whisk together all-purpose flour and kosher salt in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the yeast mixture and softened unsalted butter. Mix until cohesive, then knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth.
  3. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
  4. Cook blueberries, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Set aside to cool.
  5. Punch down risen dough and divide into small balls. Dip each in melted butter and roll in a mix of brown sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom. Layer in a greased bundt pan, drizzling blueberry sauce between layers.
  6. Cover bundt pan with a towel and let the dough rise again for 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth for the glaze, and drizzle over the warm bread.
