Scale
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
- 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
- 1/4 cup water, warmed
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp blueberry puree
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
- Add warm milk, water, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let it rise in a greased bowl for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine blueberries, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until thickened. Set aside to cool.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the blueberry filling over the dough evenly.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 9-12 rolls. Place them in a greased baking dish.
- Cover and let the rolls rise again for 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, blueberry puree, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy.
- Spread the frosting over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- You can use frozen blueberries; just don’t thaw them before cooking.
- For a stronger blueberry flavor, add a bit of blueberry extract to the frosting.
- These rolls can be made ahead and reheated before serving.
