Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (one packet)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for filling)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup butter, softened (for frosting)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk with a teaspoon of sugar. Let sit until frothy, about 10 minutes.
- To the yeast mixture, add the remaining sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, brush with melted butter, sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar, and scatter the blueberries on top.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long end, pinch to seal, and cut into 12 equal pieces. Place in a greased baking dish.
- Cover the rolls and let them rise again until puffed, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25 minutes until golden.
- Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.
Tips and Variations
- Even Blueberry Distribution: Press blueberries lightly into the dough before rolling to ensure even distribution in each roll.
- Prevent Over-Browning: Tent with aluminum foil if rolls brown too quickly but aren t baked through.
- Enhance Flavor with Zest: Add lemon zest to the dough or filling for a bright flavor contrast.
- Use Dental Floss for Cutting: For clean cuts, use unscented dental floss instead of a knife.
- Richer Frosting: Substitute half of the cream cheese with mascarpone cheese for a velvety texture.
