Ingredients
  

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

Equipment

  • Baking Dish

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. Make the Dough: 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.
  3. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Second Rise: Cover the rolls and let them rise again until puffed, about 30 minutes.
  7. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the rolls for 25 minutes until golden.
  8. Make Frosting: Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  9. Finish: Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.

Notes

These rolls are best enjoyed warm, allowing the frosting to melt slightly into the rolls, enhancing their flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
