- Stir together yeast and half of the milk in a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons flour and 1 teaspoon sugar and place the yeast mixture in a warm place for 1 hour until foamy.
- Preheat oven to 200 C / Gas 6. Grease a baking tray or line with baking parchment.
- Combine 500g flour, 50g sugar, butter, egg and salt and mix together in a large bowl. Add yeast mixture and knead until smooth and elastic. Place dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let rise for about 1 hour in a warm place, until doubled in size.
- Roll out the dough to fit the baking tray and line it. Top the dough with blueberries and lightly press them into the dough. Cover with a cloth and let rise for another 30 minutes in a warm place.
- Mix the flour and sugar in a bowl and rub in the cold butter until it resembles breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the streusel on top of the blueberries.
- Bake the cake for about 30 minutes in the preheated oven until golden brown.
