Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F/43°C)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
Filling Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Frosting Ingredients:
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by combining it with warm milk and a hint of sugar, allowing the mixture to become frothy and bubbly for approximately 10 minutes.
- Incorporate the remaining sugar, melted butter, salt, and eggs into the yeast mixture, thoroughly blending the ingredients. Gradually fold in the flour until a soft, cohesive dough emerges.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead methodically until the texture becomes smooth and elastic, developing its gluten structure for about 5-7 minutes.
- Nestle the dough into a generously greased bowl, drape with a moistened cloth, and permit it to rise in a draft-free, warm environment until it doubles in volume, roughly 1 hour.
- Prepare the filling by whisking brown sugar and cinnamon together. Stretch the dough into a rectangular shape on a flour-dusted workspace.
- Delicately brush the surface with melted butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar blend evenly. Distribute blueberries across the dough, gently pressing them to prevent shifting during rolling.
- Commence rolling from the lengthy edge, creating a tightly wound log. Seal the seam by pinching and divide the roll into 12 uniform segments using unscented dental floss for precise cutting.
- Arrange the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, allowing them to rise again until they appear puffy and expanded, approximately 30 minutes.
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls until they achieve a golden-brown hue, approximately 25 minutes. If browning occurs too rapidly, shield with aluminum foil.
- Whip the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract into a smooth, luxurious frosting.
- Lavish the warm rolls with the creamy frosting just before serving, ensuring each roll is generously coated.
Notes
- Select ripe, plump blueberries for the best flavor and texture, ensuring they are fresh and not mushy.
- Consider using a kitchen scale to measure flour accurately, preventing dry or overly dense rolls.
- Prevent blueberries from bleeding into the dough by lightly coating them in flour before adding to the rolled-out surface.
- Substitute regular milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version, maintaining the same liquid measurements.
