Step 1

Heat the water until steaming. Add tea bag and let steep for at least 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a medium sized sauce pan over medium high heat, add blueberries, sugar, tea, cornstarch and lemon juice.

Step 3

Mix well and bring to a slow boil. Let boil while mixing continuously until filling thickens (about 3 minutes). Filling will thicken more once cooled.

Step 4

Place in a heat safe container and let cool in the fridge while you continue to work on the recipe.

Step 5

Place all dough ingredients in your bread machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. *If you do not have a bread machine follow the link to my inspiration for their mixer and by hand instructions* Run dough cycle.

Step 6

Place dough in a large, lightly oiled bowl. Cover and let rise for 90 minutes.

Step 7

In a small bowl mix together all crumb ingredients. Set aside.

Step 8

Remove dough from bowl and place on a flowered surface. Punch down to remove any air pockets and roll to 12x16 (the size of most standard sized cutting boards).

Step 9

Spread a thin layer of filling onto the dough. Leave a 1 inch boarder on all sides. You will likely not use all of your filling here.

Step 10

Sprinkle on some of your crisp mixture on top of the filling.

Step 11

Starting from the longer side of your dough rectangle, roll the dough into a log.

Step 12

Using a sharp knife, cut the log in half forming 2 long pieces that expose the layers of dough and filling,

Step 13

Make a X with the 2 long pieces. Wrap both pieces around each other creating a twist. Do this to the entire loaf.

Step 14

Once the dough is twisted, starting with one end pull the loaf into itself. Mimicking a counter clockwise turn with your hands (the same motion you would use to open a jar, just backwards). Tuck any loose pieces into the loaf.

Step 15

Top with more crisp (measure with your heart here. There are no wrong amounts).

Step 16

Place in a round cake pan and cover. Let rise for 45 minutes.

Step 17

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly milk wash the entire loaf and let bake for 40-45 minutes. Cover with aluminum foil if it is browning too quickly. Internal temp will reach 190 degrees when done.

Step 18

Warm frosting in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before drizzling over the loaf.
