Form the dough into a ball and roll it into a bowl with 1 tbsp of oil on it.

Once the dough has doubled in size  roll the dough about 1/4 mm in thickness using a 2 inch  round cookie cutter , cut round disk  of dough then place it in a baking pan lined with parchment paper and let it rise again in a warm spot  for about 30-40 minutes.

Meanwhile while the dough is resting we will make the Cream cheese and Streusel

For streusel combine flour sugar and cold butter , rub the flour sugar butter mixture into your finger so it start to clump  together, or until it looks like a crumble topping. P.S j video is provided on the top for your reference.  Set aside

After about 30-40 minutes  the round dough is ready to have filling
Preheat oven at 180 deg

Using a round bottom glass create an indentation on the middle top of the dough this will receive the cream cheese filling , just be careful not to deflate the side of the dough .

Then brush the side of the dough with  beaten egg.

Place about 1/2 - 1 tbsp of the cream cheese filling  into  the hole of the kolache,  then finally top it with blueberry pie filling

Let it rest again for about 15 minutes then bake in a preheated oven at 180 deg C for about 13-15 minutes or until side of the kolache is golden brown.
