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
  • For the Filling:
    • 1 cup fresh blueberries
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar
    • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
    • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • For the Frosting:
    • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
    • 1/4 cup butter, softened
    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prepare the Yeast Mixture: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk with a teaspoon of sugar. Let sit until frothy, about 10 minutes.
  • Make the Dough: 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.
  • First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Prepare the Filling: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, brush with melted butter, sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar, and scatter the blueberries on top.
  • Form the Rolls: Roll the dough tightly from the long end, pinch to seal, and cut into 12 equal pieces. Place in a greased baking dish.
  • Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let them rise again until puffed, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the rolls for 25 minutes until golden.
  • Make Frosting: Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Finish: Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.

Notes

  • To make ahead, prepare the rolls the night before, let them rise overnight in the fridge, and bake in the morning.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based ingredients such as vegan butter, milk, and cream cheese.
  • For an extra flavorful twist, try adding nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon filling.
