Ingredients
Scale
- 3 1/2 cups (440 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup (240 ml) warm milk
- 1/4 cup (60 g) melted butter
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp (28 g) melted butter (for filling)
- 1 cup (150 g) blueberries
- 1 tbsp flour (for tossing blueberries)
- 4 oz (113 g) cream cheese
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.
- Make the dough: In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Add warm milk, melted butter, and the activated yeast. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth.
- Let it rise: Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the filling: Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Gently toss blueberries in flour to prevent them from sinking.
- Roll out the dough: On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 12×18-inch rectangle.
- Assemble the rolls: Spread the cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough, then sprinkle blueberries on top. Roll tightly into a log and slice into 12 pieces.
- Bake: Arrange the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch pan. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden.
- Make the glaze: Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk. Spread over slightly cooled rolls.
Notes
For best results, let the dough rise fully and use fresh blueberries when in season. If using frozen blueberries, thaw and drain them first. Watch the rolls closely during baking to prevent overbrowning.
