Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Rolling Pin
  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Stand mixer with dough hook (optional)
  • Pastry brush
  • Small saucepan (for the glaze)

Ingredients

  • For the Dough:
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm milk 110°F
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 large egg
  • For the Filling:
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Make the Dough:
  • In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. Add melted butter, egg, and salt. Gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes by hand or use a stand mixer with a dough hook. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Prepare the Filling:
  • In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
  • Roll and Fill the Dough:
  • Roll the dough out into a large rectangle (about 16x12 inches). Spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle the blueberries evenly across the top.
  • Roll and Cut:
  • Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Slice into 12 equal pieces and place them into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Let Them Rise:
  • Cover the dish with a towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes until they puff up.
  • Bake:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Make the Cream Cheese Glaze:
  • In a small saucepan or mixing bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth and pourable.
  • Glaze and Serve:
  • Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool slightly. Drizzle the cream cheese glaze generously over the warm rolls.
