Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 3/4 cup whole milk (warm, about 110°F)

  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)

For the Blueberry Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 2–3 tbsp blueberry jam or compote (see notes for homemade version)

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

Make the Dough:

  1. In a large bowl, mix the warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

  2. Stir in the egg and melted butter. Add flour and salt. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 6–8 minutes (or use a stand mixer with dough hook). The dough should be soft but not sticky.

  4. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, until doubled.

Prepare the Filling:

  1. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour.

  2. Once dough has risen, roll it into a 14×9 inch rectangle. Spread with softened butter, then sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture.

  3. Evenly distribute blueberries over the filling.

Roll & Cut:

  1. Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log. Cut into 9–12 rolls using a sharp knife or dental floss.

  2. Place rolls in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes.

Bake:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Bake rolls for 22–25 minutes, or until golden and the centers are cooked through.

Make the Frosting:

  1. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth.

  2. Add powdered sugar, blueberry jam, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Mix until creamy and light purple in color.

Frost and Serve:

  1. Spread frosting on warm (not hot) rolls. Serve and enjoy!

 

Notes

  • For a homemade blueberry jam: simmer 1 cup blueberries with 1 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp lemon juice until thick, then cool.

  • Rolls can be made ahead: chill shaped rolls overnight, let come to room temp, then bake.

  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently.
