Ingredients

Dough

  • ¾ cup warm milk about 110°F
  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast 1 packet
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup butter softened - unsalted
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt

Filling

  • ¼ cup butter softened - unsalted
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen

Frosting

  • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese softened
  • 3 milk 2-3 tbsp
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Combine the warm milk, yeast, and 1 tbsp of sugar in the bottom of the bowl of a stand mixer. Let sit to let the yeast proof for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  • Once proofed, add the remaining sugar, butter, egg, flour, and salt. Use the dough hook to work the ingredients together until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes with the dough hook until smooth. (about 8 minutes if kneading by hand)
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This should take about 1 hour.
  • Make the filling by combining the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Roll out the dough on a well-floured surface, making a 12x16-inch rectangle.
  • Spread the butter into an even layer on top of the dough and then sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Top with the blueberries.
  • Starting from the long side of the rectangle, roll the dough tightly into a log.
  • Cut into 12 equal portions. Arrange the rolls on a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown.

Frosting

  • Combine the confectioner’s sugar, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl, and beat until smooth and creamy. (you can add more milk to thin it out if desired.)
  • Spread the frosting over the top of the baked rolls while they are still warm - before serving.
