Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough:
- 3½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F/43°C)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
For the Filling:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5 minutes.
- Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Make the Filling
- Prepare the Cinnamon Mixture: In a small bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until combined.
Assemble the Rolls
- Roll Out the Dough: Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle, approximately 12×18 inches.
- Spread the Filling: Evenly spread the cinnamon mixture over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
- Add Blueberries: Sprinkle the blueberries evenly over the cinnamon mixture.
- Roll the Dough: Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
- Cut the Rolls: Using a sharp knife or dental floss, cut the log into 12 equal slices.
Second Rise and Baking
- Arrange the Rolls: Place the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spacing them slightly apart.
- Let Them Rise Again: Cover the dish with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for 30–40 minutes, or until puffy.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 22–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Prepare the Glaze
- Make the Cream Cheese Glaze: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, mixing until creamy and spreadable.
Finish and Serve
- Glaze the Rolls: Spread the cream cheese glaze over the warm rolls, allowing it to melt slightly into the crevices.
- Serve: Serve warm and enjoy!
